Until now, I had a dedicated RasPi running for streaming AIS messages from a serial port into the local network.
I would now like to save the dedicated PI and do the same on my PI running venus OS, since it is running 24/7 anyway. ser2net, however, is not available in OPKG. Is there any similiar solution available on venus OS or do I have to dive into the adventure of building it (and any required libs) from source?
In the meantime I have found a solution. It can be done via signal-k, which of course requires venus os large.
Just set up the usb device as a data source in signal-k, prevent serial-starter from grabbing the port (described
here https://github.com/victronenergy/venus/wiki/howto-add-a-driver-to-Venus
) and connect to port 10110 on the venus device.
