Keep up the Good Works, Matey!! OpenPlotter, OpenCPN, SignalK, Arduino/ESP8266, Android App Inventor2 from MIT. A DIY guy's Paradise. No more bulky displays of thousands of dollars which go obsolete in a few years. Data streams to the ship's local WiFi to old Android smartphones for use anywhere aboard : easy
There's a case for the NVME card with a cable, that you can just plug into a USB 3 port of the Pi. It's plug and play: once you write the image and plug it into the Pi, the Pi will boot from the USB device. No configuration is required.
Hi, thanx for this usefull tutorial. However: I'm trying to install OpenPlotter on a RaspberryPi 4-b with a 128 GB SD card, and it won't work... I only see the black screen with text and rasbiian logo + QR-code, It says'start4elf is not compatible' 'this board requires newer software' (?). Any idea what's going wrong? Regards, Henk
Thank you for your work. Tell which version (generation) of Raspberry Pi is better to take from the beginning? The latest or less energy-dependent early? How much RAM is enough for JPS + AIS + getting weather forecasts? Do you need a screen for Raspberry Pi or can you set up a transfer to a smartphone? Thank you.
The Pi 3 seems to consume less than the Pi4. It depends on what you need it for. OpenCPN runs best on a Pi4, but if you're running a headless system, the Pi3 is enough for sure. raspi.tv/2019/how-much-power-does-the-pi4b-use-power-measurements
OpenPlotter is the greatest and I appreciate all of your hard work.
Keep up the Good Works, Matey!!

Nice tutorial. SD card alternative was new thing to me. How you install it to raspberry?

2021 is going to be interesting, with updated RPI’s and OpenCPN..

big help for with all your videos, great help. I hope you will make one with autopilot. I have simrad tp 22 and cant make it work over Nmea 0183.
Do you write the open plotter software on the same sd card running the pi? Won’t it delete the existing OS
