Capn v.6.1 question??
 

I have a dedicated GPS module on the USB port of my laptop. Works great and
the Capn finds the data from the GPS without a problem.. This is a one way
communication with the laptop. GPS talker, Laptop Listener.

However, if I want to send course correction via NMEA 183 sentence, they
have to go out a serial port.

I can't seem to find a way to tell The Capn to send this info out a standard
serial port, once it finds the GPS data on the USB port.

I haven't been able to get any help for Nautical Technologies since I
haven't upgraded my software since v. 7.x came out. My laptop isn't fast
enough to run the lastest version.

Anyone have any experience with this or suggestions??

Yes. And unfortunately you are out of luck. The Capn uses a single port
for input and output. I think Meindert mentioned that his new VirtualPlex
product can handle this though.

Thanks Doug, not the answer i was looking for but I appreciate the lead to a
solution.

Yes, I know of Meindert muliplexers but never looked into them for a
solution to my situation..

I'll look through my book marks or hope to hear from Meindert in this post.

VirtualPlex is a software multiplexer. It allows incoming data from a
physical port to be available to any number of virtual ports. You check
it out at www.shipmodul.com. You can even download an evel version.

Hi Steve,

I'm afraid VirtualPlex doesn't help you out. This software creates, like
Doug said, multiple virtual ports from one real (com or USB-serial) port.
What you need is something to work the other way around, but inside the
computer.

Watch it Doug, next thing you're gonna say is that it's an evil version...
