I do use n2k for ais as the yacht has B&G instruments, including a Zeus plotter.

The Zeus has only one nmea0183 interface, and i need to run this at 4800 baud to interface to the B&G network, which precludes ais.
Hence the ais is on the n2k network.
That's 3 networks !

But it all works  Cool

I do have the option of a usb interface to the Digital Yacht Ait500 so i think i will try that first, but i dont think it multiplexes nmea data onto the usb so this route will only give me ais, not wind/speed/depth etc.

I will document the journey and hopefully add some value here !

PS, i do run the pi from a 12-5v converter, with a powered hub for usb.

No problem at all I suggest to buy with sailoog the new Dongle it have a lot of advantages against the simple Dongle the documentation is outdated for the moment. I did change this in the German translation and i have a git account but to change its not possible for me. My free git is full and i can not fork.

someone have to take my things and put it to the official git.
