Hi everyone, hope someone can help me. i am a novice at this sort of thing and I'm struggling to connect opencpn to my Simrad AP20.
I am using a Windows11 pc with a digital yachts usb to NMEA0183 converter. It's all wired in and have followed the instructions adding the connection, plotting and activating a course etc. Nothing seems to work and the usb connector lights do not flash to show data transfer.
I have two of these connectors, one is already successfully installed and providing AIS data. The second connector for the AP is the problem.
At this stage, I do not know if it's a setting that's wrong or a dodgy unit somewhere.
Apologies if this is not that clear, like I said I'm a novice at all this.
