Installing Garmin Radar with RADAR 5 plugin without adapter - EXP - 2024-03-10 I have a Garmin GMR 18 HD+ Radar which I want to use with open CPN on a RaspberryPi. I know that to get it to work you need to make pin 5 switchable, and that an Amphenol MRJ578001 adapter is recommended to make accessing the pins easier. However, to route the radar ethernet cable I had to cut it and I did so near the end of Side A. I think it will work if I solder each wire back together but join extension wires to the blue and white wire (pin 5) & the drain wire (bare wire with no jacket) and then connect those to a switch. I can then directly connect with the Radar cable without the need for the Amphenol MRJ578001 adapter or another ethernet cable. Can anyone confirm if this will work? Below is a wiring diagram showing what I intend to do (obviously all cables will be properly soldered & heat-shrinked) RE: Installing Garmin Radar with RADAR 5 plugin without adapter - PaddyB - 2024-03-10 That's might be more of a question for opencpn.. https://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f134/ |
