Autohelm type 100 autopilot
#1
Has anyone connected to the NMEA output on these?
I have been using openplotter for months and know my way arround the system well.
The guy on the yacht next door(we are liveaboards) and liked how i had my system outputting to my EDO intruments on my android tablets and phone.

I connected the official USB to RS422 device to his NMEA output at 4800 baud. All i got was the odd part sentances with no full strings. The LED flashes to indicate date is comming in.
I have tried the wire reverse, common ground...usual stuff to no avail.

Has anyone tried to connect to one of these?

They seem to be common units. All instruments connect in, one seatalk output for displays, a NMEA in for GPS and an NMEA output D+ and D- type NMEA.
The autohelm documentation says 4800 baud and a list of sentances it will spit out.

I couldnt remember the linux terminal command to show raw data on the linux terminal.

I did check the kplex config file and all seemed okay.

Cheers.
