OpenCPN flooding

Question

OpenCPN flooding

drozdi70 opened this issue 8 months ago · comments

I have contected AIS cacther (RTL SDR V3) to my orange pi 5 plus board.
ais-catcher config file:
-d AIS00001
-v 10
-M DT
-gs LNASTATE 3 AGC on
-s 2304k
-u 127.0.0.1 10110
-a 192K

and once configured OpenCPN is probably flooded with messages from and crashes.
Im far far away from AIS messages and boats...

How to check if it s related to somu rubish collected by AIS-Catcher?
How to filter out?
Does it work with SignalK?

Well.... you are running without -q so the received messages are displayed on screen, so you can see if there is any excessive message generation.
Additionally, you can open a debug window in opencpn to inspect what is coming in. Like in the below screenshot.

Honestly, it does not sound like a flooding. Is there any more insight why OpenCPN is crashing (what is the CPU load for example)?

One more thing. You are running with a RTL-SDR? Then the -s 2304K might be a bit high, would run with -s 1536K and also the -gs line is irrelevant (it is for a SDRPlay).

HiThank you for your answers.Correct i have 2 dongles but indeed i use RTL sdr one for AIS not sdrplay :) good finding :)Is it possible to send it to SignalK as NMEA messages somehow?73/regardsRobertTemat: Re: [jvde-github/AIS-catcher] OpenCPN flooding (Issue #204)Data: 2023-11-29 19:54Nadawca: "Jasper" ***@***.***>Adresat: "jvde-github/AIS-catcher" ***@***.***>; DW: "DroZDi" ***@***.***>; "Author" ***@***.***>; One more thing.

I am not that familiar with SignalK but I believe it can receive NMEA over UDP which is what AIS-catcher sends with the -u switch. So I suspect is possible but I do not have experience. Sorry. Jasper

Hiok, Just to resume config files should be like ***@***.***:~/work$ more aiscatcher.conf (sdrplay) -d AIS00001 -v 10 -M DT -gs LNASTATE 3 AGC on -s 2304K -u 127.0.0.1 10110 -a ***@***.***:~/work$ more aiscatcher.conf (sdrplayRTSDRv3) -d AIS00001 -v 10 -M DT -s 1536K -u 127.0.0.1 10110 -a 192K -q-----Personally Im working on a small project to "adopt" openplotter application which was initially written on raspberry to make wokring on orange pi 5 (also plus) boards.Here there is an info how to feed signalK:https://openplotter.readthedocs.io/en/3.x.x/signalk/multiplexing.htmlI will try also to do this ;)RegardsRobertTemat: Re: [jvde-github/AIS-catcher] OpenCPN flooding (Issue #204)Data: 2023-11-29 20:18Nadawca: "Jasper" ***@***.***>Adresat: "jvde-github/AIS-catcher" ***@***.***>; DW: "DroZDi" ***@***.***>; "Author" ***@***.***>; I am not that familiar with SignalK but I believe it can receive NMEA over UDP which is what AIS-catcher sends with the -u switch.

The formatting is a bit difficult to read :-)

I am using the GPIO AIS filter to avoid any soldiering and it did wonders in my setup but this looks great

hi, any more insights on the original issue with OpenCPN crashing? Otherwise, let's close this item and reopen if it is a catcher issue.

Cheers, Jasper

HiNothing was tested recently from my end.Please close it :)This week it will be new release of Armbian OS with new kernel so going to intsall from the scratch. If any issue I will let you know :)Best regards/73RobertTemat: Re: [jvde-github/AIS-catcher] OpenCPN flooding (Issue #204)Data: 2023-12-03 19:06Nadawca: "Jasper" ***@***.***>Adresat: "jvde-github/AIS-catcher" ***@***.***>; DW: "DroZDi" ***@***.***>; "Author" ***@***.***>; hi, any more insights on the original issue with OpenCPN crashing?
