Hi,
I have installed Icom M510-TR Ais and tries to receive AIS data via serial USB port. In other tools I can open the serial port and receive data. In Expedition the port status is open but I don't see any data in the Raw window or on the map.

I also have had problems with sockets not being reliable, trying to connect to Zeus plotter for getting AIS data via the plotter. But H5000 websocket is stable.

Tried to reinstall Expedition and also remove data folder, but I see that the connection settings remains. Is it stored somewhere else?

Looked through some old data and we have the wrong sign of the heel value giving wrong sign of leeway.

How do I fix the heel sensor value in Expedition, can I invert it some how?

Very grateful for the help from all of you!

I relies that this assumption is wrong "If the sign of Heel was wrong I guess I would get Leeway to Windward, which I don't do."
I will double check the sign off Leeway.
But I am still quiet sure there is something else affecting, because largely changing the Leeway index did'nt affect the size off drift. And as I said before got same values on Set and Drift from Exp as froms Instrument system, which is not Leeway compensated.

Can I change sig of Sensor values i Exp. is it by putting negative Leeway coeff.?

Using Stripchart and my observations duting no sea current have been that the current barbs points 90 degrees to leeward of the boat independent of tack and I can get around 0.5 knots in current at 5 knots boat speed. I guess this must be due to missing Leeway compensation. Hdg (+-1 degree) and Bsp (+-0.1 knots) shouldn't give that big affect.

Am I right if no sea current and I get current barbs:
1. Pointing forward, boatspeed is calibrated too low.
2. Pointig backwards, boatspeed is calibrated too high.
3. Pointing to leeward independent of tack, leeway underestimated.
4. Pointing to windward independent of tack, leeway overestimated.
5. Pointing to leeway/windward dependent of tack, bad heading calibration.

Bsp is calibrated at sailing speeds of around 5-6 knots.
I only have settings for starboard and port, so can't compensate at diffrent boatspeeds and heeling. Can I do it in Expedition?
Its a paddlewheel located in the middle of the boat. Does it still get affected by heeling?
My observations have been that it get 0.1-0.2 wrong when beating. I thought i was the leeway, but after some calculations I guess the leeway shall only increase SOG with around 0.03 knots.
Am I right than that I should calibrate BSP = SOG-0.03 knots (which is insignifcant) while beating.

Regarding the Leeway index, I haven't had time to experiment. Have previously used the instrument Set and Drift and just recently started trying to get correct values using Leeway in Expedition. Just did a fast test to see if the Current barbs was affected by the leeway by setting it very high, but I didn't get and changes in the barbs, thats why I asked i Drift and Set was compensated by Leeway.
I guess I use the current Barbs also to find the leeway index, by adjusting it until the barbs don't point to leeward and windward.

I will investigate more!

Very thankful for your support, still learning alot and its a field and on a level where it is very hard to find information. But as Engineer in control
