Hi again,
I put more questions before someone answers...
Must I convert the nmea0183 output to signalk before converting to nmea2000? How do I do that in such case?
The signalk-nmea2000 plugin is installed and activated but as I said in my last post nothing goes out on the can-bus. I want things like RMB and XTE to be converted to nmea2000 but looking at the plugin config no such things seems to be available. Is it at all possible?
A brief description of my setup so you understand what I try to achieve.
Navstation (rpi and monitor) is placed at the chart table inside the boat. Transducers and ais is connected to the rpi with an nmea0183 network. The instrument panel in cockpit contains Silva Star wind, Sea data and Nav repeater. No graphic display in cockpit.
No I'm upgrading to new transducers and cockpit displays (Garmin GNX Wind and GNX20) I still want one of the displays to show steering info but now it needs to be fed by nmea2000. I also have a new ap (Simerad TP32) that has the ability to steer to waypoint info or wind angle. Of course it would be nice to be able to use that feature too.
Hope someone can help me out!
Cheers,
Pär W
