Freeboard-SK FAQs

Find the answers to common issues here.

Unable to save Routes and Waypoints.

To be able to save resources such as Routes and Waypoints the Signal K server will need to support the ./signalk/v1/api/resources paths for each resource type.

For Signal K node server this requires a plugin such as sk-resources-fs:

  1. Install sk-resources-fs plugin.
  2. Using Server / Plugin Config enable the required resource paths.
  3. Restart the server.

Note: More than one plugin may be configured to service the resources paths so ensure ONLY ONE plugin is configured to service resource paths! (e.g. the @signalk/simple-gpx plugin will conflict with routes and waypoints provision)

Course data not being calculated.

Course data is sourced from the ./navigation/courseGreatCircle/nextPoint path. For these values to be present you will require both the:

  1. freeboard-sk-helper plugin
  2. signalk-derived-data plugin

With these plugins installed Freeboard-SK will be able to set the required paths to allow the calculations to be made and the data to then become available for display.
