Yes that's the conclusion I came to -
i70s + ITC-5 gets the analog stuff (including rudder position) into N2K, which can then be pulled into openPlotter, Pypilot (via shipmodul) and the Zeus2
They don't make this stuff easy...
I'm an engineer, so the stuff that guy was doing with the sailing instruments blog was really really impressive. Crazy math!
I would think it would be a popular product to basically provide a box like the ITC-5 but with the ability to calibrate the instruments and then output directly into NMEA0183 (Serial). I'm sure there are tons of folks with legacy sensors (speed, depth, wind, rudder) that don't want to drop $$$ for newer N2K versions?
