Signal k NMEA0183 output
I’m still new to openplotter and signal k but I’ve gotten a usb gps puck to successfully send NMEA 0183 sentences to signal k and the server dashboard is showing incoming changes with a flashing “in” icon. I can access this gps data via wifi on port 10110 with an iPad without issue. Now I’m trying to get that same gps data to my vhf radio via the VHF’s NMEA 0183 accessory cable with no luck. Before I take the raspberry pi and gps to the boat again, I want to verify I’m getting good data out, but can’t seem to get anything to output.
My question is if I have signal k set up properly, should I be able to see a flashing “out” icon on the signal k dashboard? I have a serial connection named gpsout and nmea0183out (also tried nmea0183) listed for output events, but it doesn’t seem to do anything. I’ve been trying to dig into the documentation but can’t identify where I’ve gone wrong. Can someone point me in the right direction?

this is how I do it, in the gps connection the input events are labelled as gps_nmea
then I use the output side of a usb/serial adaptor which is receiving wind data >
so now the gps data coming in through the gps connection goes out the wind connection to the VHF. This doesn't actually show up in the dashboard but the sentences can be seen in server / server log
Thanks Paddy! I'm not sure what I was doing wrong last time but I got it working doing what you described. I think last night I was trying everything and I wasn't resetting the server after the changes so it wasn't working. All good now, I just need to get a 422 converter (I only have a usb to 232 laying around).
