Raymarine S1/ST6002 and NMEA

You probably have either an ST70, ST600x, ST700x or ST800x (where x=1 or 2). Whatever the controller is, it came with the Raymarine S1 Wheelpilot that I bought, along with the rudder position indicator and fluxgate compass. The S1 corepack will translate the NMEA lat/long data into SeaTalk. It translate a lot more as stated. XTE (Cross Track Error), SOG (Speed Over Ground), COG (Course Over Ground), Track, etc. All the normal NMEA stuff used by GPS chartplotters, receivers, black boxes, dat ting what shows you where you be, where you goin' and how long it's going to take to get there. Note that if the GPS antenna was connected to the NMEA input on the controller, that it wouldn't translate (or even understand) it. I wouldn't think anything could translate from a GPS _ANTENNA_. If you mean a GPS unit that outputs NMEA, I don't see why not. As in the previous post, the Raymarine manual says you can connect NMEA stuff to either the computer, controller or an external NMEA to Seatalk converter. That seems simple and straightforward to me. The rest of your data (depth, wind, etc) is most likely coming from SeaTalk instruments and no translation is required. Unless you have a NMEA speaking fathometer, wind instrument, etc. Again, as per the manual. Rick |

I originally answered a simple questiion with a simple answer, then had to answer it again and again. Rick Rick, You keep intermixing ST based autopilot controllers with the course computer. Both have NMEA inputs but clearly provide different functions. NMEA data (including GPS lat/long/satellite-info sentences) which is fed to the course computer will get translated to SeaTalk and will be displayed on all controllers. NMEA data fed to an ST controller will get displayed on that controller only, but will not get translated into SeaTalk sentences. Also, ST series controllers do not understand lat/long/satellite-info sentences from a NMEA based GPS antenna. I believe that if you were to re-read this posts in this thread (I just did), that my statements have been consistent from my first reply. This whole tread was about connecting a GPS antenna to a ST6002 controller (which won't work). Finally, when talking about a "GPS", it's a good idea to differentiate between an antenna and a chart plotter. Many people use the term GPS when talking about a chart plotter. I hope that this clearly summarizes this dicussion, as it's very important to be pedantic when technical matters such as this. -- Geoff www.GeoffSchultz.org |
