Alternative SeaTalk wiring

[Duncan]

Hi Sailoog

Just to answer your questions;

- The ST jumper is in the position depicted in your drawings at the start of this thread 
- The variable -as I described them are- is the data that is coming from the wind and tridata instruments.

Just to add, with the new wiring, I'm seeing the seatalk LED flash (as you described). When I switch back to the original wiring then the LED is more solid.

I've tried re-cabling the seatalk network so that my tridata instrument is the first device on the seatalk bus but if I use the original wiring the Authohelm still comes back with STLINK FAIL error and I can't use it. If I switch it to the new wiring, the and it doesn't get the error but all the data is null. Really frustrating cause I can't effectively use the seatalk bus becuase it knocks out my autohelm.

I'm not sure it's relevant but the autohelm is the only device that has it's own dedicated power. The tridata and the wind instruments are getting there power from the autohelm via the seatalk one network.

I will come back next week and try the resistor.
