Default NMEA Tillerpilot

My GPS is a serial that I have had to get an adapter for. My computer
only takes USB connections. So if you are not familiar with SeaClear,
it will use one port for the TX/RX. Can I simply splice into the line
that goes from the GPS and tap off the GND and TX to connect those to
the tiller-pilot?


From memory, all you need is to connect pin 3 and pin 5 (gnd) of the serial
port to your Tillerpilot. Your software should do the rest.
