Hi Brian, replied over e-mail but I suspect Venus 3.63 upgrade will not help as Signal K configuration is persisted across upgrades. There is no harm to try though.

Hi @SV_Atlas, a factory reset should be the last resort. First, try a clean install of Signal K—step‑by‑step instructions are in this post: https://community.saillogger.com/topic/111/new-install-wont-start/2?_=1753236272577

Let us know if that doesn’t resolve the issue or if you need help with any of the steps

Hi John, I thought we had addressed this as part of this thread. Isn't it working as expected?

In general, if you are moving fast, the granularity is automatically adjusted and can be as high as every minute.

Hi @wrwakefield ,toggling Signal K on or off doesn't delete the Signal K configuration. We haven't explicitly tested the factory reset but pretty sure it would wipe out Signal K configuration as well.

We regularly delete the Signal K config to test out things from scratch, it has never caused an issue but of course operating on the CLI requires diligence. Just make sure "Signal K" toggle is off before you delete that directory. I don't think it is a showstopper if you don't but it is safer to do so.

Glad to hear you sorted it out! For future reference, it may take up to an hour for new data keys to show up in Saillogger. This is only applicable for the initial configuration, once done data flows in regular one minute intervals.

@wrwakefield, sorry to hear the problems you encountered. v3.62 and Saillogger Plugin 4.2.1 should work alongside other plugins, we also use v3.62 ourselves and run many additional plugins beyond Saillogger. It’s possible that Signal K became corrupted in the process; have you tried restarting the Cerbo GX completely? If you did and it didn’t work, completely removing it and re-configuring may be the best thing to do.

This will require root access to Cerbo GX though. Instructions are here but please read the warnings carefully.

Please follow these steps after obtaining root access:

Stop Signal K process (Toggle off Signal K in Venus OS menu) - This is important
SSH into Venus OS
Delete the Signal K directory by issuing the command rm -rf /data/conf/signalk
Exit ssh by exit or closing the terminal
Start Signal K process

This will give you a fresh, brand new Signal K instance. That also means all your previous configuration will be lost. You will need to download the Signal K plugin again and configure it. Make sure you wait long enough for installing the plugin and do not interrupt it. It can take longer than 30 minutes.

Let us know if this helps.

Hi @svcatalyst — Saillogger doesn’t perform any NMEA or PGN decoding; all of that happens in Signal K, and SailLogger uses the information once it’s already decoded. So the real question is whether Signal K supports this PGN. Because you don’t see it in Data Browser, it appears it doesn’t support it, and unfortunately that’s beyond our control.

Hi @ilederey we tried hard to clean it but looks like it got pretty garbled with a lot of back and forth zigzags, unfortunately we couldn't recover it.

Hi @svcatalyst,

We’re not very familiar with the Yacht Devices Run Indicator. Do you know if its data can be brought into Signal K? It doesn’t have to go through NMEA; any method that gets the data into Signal K would be sufficient. However, getting it into Signal K—whether via NMEA messages or a dedicated Signal K plugin—is a prerequisite for monitoring it on Saillogger.

admin

This was resolved in a different thread. Upgrading to the latest Victron firmware and installing Saillogger plugin 4.2.1 or later will work.
