I hope to get NMEA2000 data out from my Signalk server v2.11.0. The server is connected to Simnet via VECan 1 on my Cerbo GX v3.55
I keep getting “error while creating channel” I have tried can0 and can1 as interface and cerbo has been rebooted several times. NMEA2000 source is set to Canbus (canboatjs). Any good ideas?
Hi,
Try vecan0 or vecan1.
(I’ve updated that doc just now)
Thank you, I have tried this as well - same error. I have checked VE-Can settings as well under Services as mentiod in you documentation. Any further ideas
Hi,
Did you make sure to restart Signalk in between the changes?
It has to be either can0 or vecan0, depending on what type Cerbo GX you have.
And make sure that a profile that has VE.Can in its name profile is selected in the GX settings for port 1.
Otherwise, what you can do is log in on the shell/ssh, and run “ifconfig” command on the command line and look at its output. It will list the available interfaces.
I have restartet every time. Where do I check the port 1 settings. Is it on cerbo gx or signalk settings?
Cerbo itself
I mean this menu. This is also the right setting for it:
You don’t need to enable NMEA2000-put for signalk to work btw. Thats about something else (see GX manual)
Thank you for your patience. The settings on cerbo port 1 are correct. Still the same error. How do I log in to the shell?
Hey. No problem.
That is explained here: Venus OS: Root Access [Victron Energy].
And a perhaps bigger signalk crowd can be found on the signalk discourse. I assume it can be found in google
One finale question. Is it necessary to set MQTT on?
Hi again, no its not.
Thanks for the support. I will continue in the SignalK community and will let you know if I find a solution.
