Problem installing plugin

[anderhau2]

Hi! Im desperately trying to get this to work in my boat. I have a new Simarine system, and a RPI 4b. I have SignalK working, and collecting data from my YDWG, and its stored in a InfluxDB. All this is working fine. I also habe SOME of my Simarine data in SignalK via NMEA adapter and YDWG MNEA->Wifi. But I'm missing my two quad shunts, and I REALLY want then in SignalK to graph charge from my solar panels and wind generator (among other). If it's easier I would settle with JUST my two Quad shunts, and nothing else. I have tank and battery data via NMEA.

I have installed the module, I have added the code to the settings.json file, and it looks like the module fires up ok, but I get this error message. PLease help me in the right direction?:-)

Edit: It changes:

[htool]

The problem with the code as is, is that the config is hardcoded.
It's still a project that I'd like to change to NodeJS and make the config dynamic.

I think the Quad shunts should also go over NMEA, but YDWG is possibly not letting them through.
I'd connect the Pi to the NMEA2000 if I were you. That gives you full access to the canbus.
https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/2-CH_CAN_HAT would be a good way to do so.

For the pico.py, I'll have a look to see if I can make the config more dynamic.

[htool]

And can you grab the output (first part until 'Received packet with length') of:
$ DEBUG=pico ./pico.py

[anderhau2]

I will sit down with this after I put the kids to bed, an hour or so. I have confirmed with Simarine that they do not send quad shunt on NMEA. YDWG is sending in RAW, so I don't think it is stopping anything.

It's really important to me to get the quad shunt into SignalK, so I will gladly assist in any way I can!

Now I'm ready. I'm not that seasoned with this, how do I get to the info you ask for? The logs does not have that kind of message.

[htool]

From the shell:
$ DEBUG=pico Pico2SignalK/pico.py

[anderhau2]

I cannot get it to accept that command. First it says "no access", even after i have changed to root with "sudo su".

My PI is Norwegian, but if thats not at problem for you, I could give you teamviewer to the computer onboard.

You will find mye here, and message me on messenger:

[anderhau2]

Meaning "no access":

[htool]

I don't have facebook/teamviewer.
Try:
cd Pico2SignalK
DEBUG=pico ./pico.py

[anderhau2]

"Ingen tilgang" = "Access denied"

[htool]

ok, do:
chmod +x pico.py
then try again

[anderhau2]

Hmm... pretty sure I had to install that to make it run the first time... Is it user dependent?

[htool]

yes, don't run as root

[anderhau2]

Got it WITHOUT logging in as root. Huge dataset, you want it all?

[htool]

Run it like:
DEBUG=pico ./pico.py |grep PICO|tail -1

[anderhau2]

pi@openplotter:~/Pico2SignalK $ DEBUG=pico ./pico.py |grep PICO|tail -1
