I'm totally confused about how I attach all these nav instruments
together for maximum flexibility. I'm planning on using a MiniPlex-42BT to multiplex them all together, along with a Dell Axim X51V PDA and a laptop, both via bluetooth, as a chart plotter using the FUGAWI Marine ENC Windows and PDA software. I've got: - Garmin GPS (NMEA Talker (and Listener?) What about Garmin Mode?) - JRC Radar 1500 Mk2 (NEMA Listener) - VHF Transceiver (NMEA Listener and Talker) - NASA AIS Engine [NMEA Listener and Talker) - Backup VHF Transceiver (NMEA Listener) - Tillerpilot ST1000 (SEATALK Listener (and Talker?)) - Raymarine ST40 Wind (SEATALK Talker only?) - Raymarine ST40 Bidata (SEATALK Talker only?) - Raymarine ST30 Fluxgate Compass (SEATALK Talker only) (haven't purchased yet) - Dell Axim X51V PDA (NMEA Listener (and talker?)) What about Garmin Format?) -- via Bluetooth - MiniPlex-42BT NMEA Multiplexor (not purchased yet) So I think that breaks down to: NMEA Talker = [GPS] [VHF] [AIS] [SEATALK IN] NMEA Listener=[gps?] [RADAR] [VHF] [VHF2] [AIS] [TILLERPILOT] [WIND?] [BIDATA?] SEATALK=[TILLERPILOT(L/T?)] [WIND (L?/T)] [BIDATA (L?/T)] [COMPASS (T)] BLUETOOTH = [AXIM X51V] or [LAPTOP] Do you see a problem with the config? How does the Tillerpilot ST1000 receive steering commands/waypoint data/other data from the PDA that is transmitting NMEA? That's my main concern; how does the PDA, GPS and Tillerpilot interact in the above config? I'm assuming I'll be running the MiniPlex-42BT in hub mode? Another big question is do I need the ST-30 Fluxgate Compass when I have the Tillerpilot, as it also contains an internal fluxgate compass? Does the Tillerpilot output compass data on SEATALK and/or NMEA? -- BRENT - The Usenet typo king. ![]() |
