Noob question: NMEA gps out to vhf marine radio?
#9
(2019-07-01, 02:03 PM)Melipone Wrote: I'm also looking to send GPS data from my openplotter raspberry pi to VHF radio over NMEA 0183. My radio is a Navman 7110, with a 4-wire NMEA 0183 socket (IN+, IN-, OUT+, OUT-) operating at 4800baud. Could anyone point me in the right direction for the type of device to use? I'm a bit lost on the use of  RS485/RS422. The out of the box USB to NMEA0183 solutions seem to vary from £50 to £150 Actisense converters which seem like complete overkill!
Hi. My post (just above yours in this thread) has a link to a usb dongle which worked for me.  This:
JBTek USB dongle


It's just two wires and can be configured to send the GPS nmea0183 to the In+/In- points on your vhf (I'm guessing those are right). It's inexpensive, and looks it, but works when configured in OpenPlotter. Good luck!
