Got my pi3 up and running with opencpn. Had to use the kingsailtide setup instructions rather than the agurney pi chart setup as I couldn't get some of the dependencies to load.
The onboard wifi setup is very straightforward but can't find any gui setup for the onboard Bluetooth but in terminal I can see its MAC address and status.

Have you tried the Openplotter image? Everything on there already.

Running only the OpenPlotter items including wireless. With OpenCPN closed, the processor switches from 5 to 13 % load.

Hi I didn't use the image as it is focuses on a Pi 2 and I wasn't sure if there are any differences in the rasbian OS to cater for the onboard wifi and Bluetooth. I think I will give it a go once a new image that has been tested on the pi 3 is available.
I guess opencpn 4.0 will do for now.

Same image, there aren't any specific pi3 raspbian images available. I just swapped the sd card from a 2 into a 3 and everything worked straight away, just faster

openplotter is well worth checking out, creating a wifi a access point is simple, then you can view boat data with any wifi device which has a Web browser

Ok will give it a go, have you worked out how to setup or pair Bluetooth using the gui interface, the wifi setup was very easy.
It would be nice if a sonos app was available.
Must admit I just use the raymarine apps to view boat data, it's very simple and quick to have a quick look at the radar/AIS from my bunk!

I haven't got bluetooth to pair yet, my fridge thermostat is an arduino with bluetooth but the Pi didn't see it, though I haven't dug any deeper, just had a quick look. There's such a big online pi community if there is a bug if it isn't fixed already it will be soon.

It's the libwxgtk3.0-dev. Dependencies that I can't find on GitHub, same problem as others earlier in this thread

This doesn't work

sudo apt-get -y install cmake gettext \
gpsd gpsd-clients libgps-dev wx-common \
libwxgtk3.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev \
wx3.0-headers libbz2-dev libtinyxml-dev \
portaudio19-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libcairo2-dev

$ sudo dpkg -i opencpn_4.2.0-1_armhf_full.deb

This works.

sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-0 libglu1-mesa libtinyxml2.6.2 libwxbase2.8.0 libportaudio2 libjack-jackd2-0 wx2.8-i18n

sudo dpkg -i opencpn_4.0.0-1_armhf_tides_map.deb

Maybe I should try the working dependencies with opencpn 4.2.0-1

Try
Hcitool scan

Found my phone

On my pi2 I basically used the instructions below, all nice and simple, maybe I still need to install the the:

sudo apt-get install bluetooth bluez-utils blueman bluez python-gobject python-gobject-2

to get the Bluetooth gui.

I installed this..
sudo apt-get install pi-bluetooth

now the top toolbar bluetooth app next to wifi works.

As soon as I get my RPI 3 I will release a full OpenPlotter RPI 2/3 compatible

I've not really dug very deep yet but so far no differences are noticable.

There's a good deal of info in the latest MagPi..
https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi-issues/MagPi43.pdf

It looks like for the time being only 32-bit raspbian will be available..

From and interview with Eban Upton:

“Although it is a 64‑bit
core, we’re using it as just a faster
32-bit core,” he reveals about
the Pi 3’s central processing unit.
“I can imagine there’d be some
real benefits [to 64-bit code].
The downside is that you do
really create a separate world. To
access that benefit, you’d have to
have two operating systems. I’m
hoping that someone will come
and demonstrate to me that this
is a good idea

Thanks Sailoog, I am just downloading v6 of your image but it could take a while, with my super slow broadband.

Yes I will install pi Bluetooth, seems strange it wasn't included on the latest noobs.

If you are downloading from torrent, FYI you are leeching from a Raspberry 1 that has been seeding for a month non stop close to 1TB

There is always a job for your old Raspberries
