Setup Pi:

see also
- https://sailoog.gitbooks.io/openplotter-documentation/en/getting_started.html
connect to openplotter-UI (eg. VNC)
- update openCPN
- upgrade Raspbian
- upgrade to openPlotter 0.17.1
- Preferences > Raspberry Configuration > Interfaces > SSH:enable (Remote-access via WinSCP and Putty defaults pi:raspberry)
(sudo apt-get install tightvncserver (make RDP working))
sudo apt-get install can-utils
sudo apt-get install mc
update node

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install nodejs

update signalk to latest
- kill running signalk-server process

cd /home/pi/.config
rm -rf signalk-server-node_tmp
git clone https://github.com/SignalK/signalk-server-node.git signalk-server-node_tmp
cd signalk-server-node_tmp
npm install && npm run prepublishOnly
npm install mdns
cd /home/pi/.config
rm -rf signalk-server-node
mv signalk-server-node_tmp signalk-server-node

restart signalk @ openplotter-UI

Setup Android:

RDC from playStore (working)
aRDP free from playStore (suits my needs best)

Setup piCAN2:

(in case you want to play with virtual-can-interfaces) add to /etc/modules

vcan

add to /boot/config.txt

dtparam=spi=on
dtoverlay=mcp2515-can0,oscillator=16000000,interrupt=25
dtoverlay=spi-bcm2835-overlay

add to /etc/network/interfaces (might be overwritten by /home/pi/.config/openplotter/wifi_server.py!)

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

add to /etc/network/interfaces/interfaces.d/can0

#physical can interfaces
allow-hotplug can0
iface can0 can static
bitrate 250000
down /sbin/ip link set $IFACE down
up /sbin/ifconfig $IFACE txqueuelen 10000

(in case you want to play with virtual-can-interfaces) add to /etc/network/interfaces/interfaces.d/vcan0

#virtual can interfaces
auto vcan0
iface vcan0 inet manual
pre-up /sbin/ip link add dev $IFACE type vcan
up /sbin/ifconfig $IFACE up

restart interfaces

service networking restart

check interfaces (can0 and vcan0)

ifconfig

install canboat

mkdir ~/canboat
cd ~/canboat
sudo apt-get install xsltproc
git clone git://github.com/canboat/canboat
cd canboat
sudo make
sudo make install

add data-providers @ signalk web-interface
- NMEA2000 > canbus (working)
- NMEA2000 > canbusjs (not working?)

note: Firefox does not work well on web-admin-ui https://github.com/SignalK/signalk-server-node/issues/486
add admin-user via admin-ui and log-in
add canboat Data-Provider via Admin-UI (stored in <yourhomedir>/.signalk/settings.json )

no luck adding canboatjs Data-Provider via Admin-UI
- instead add to <yourhomedir>/.signalk/settings.json
