nmea installation
Does anyone have suggestions on how to provide NMEA data to several
"listeners" for example autohelm and radar. Here is the setup: I feed several NMEA enabled instruments output to a laptop via a NMEA multiplexer then, feed the NMEA data stream to an autopilot and radar using the com RS232 port. However I have a single com port. How do I feed both listeners? Gabriel |

Also, some multiplexers provide a 'real' NMEA output, on which the data from the laptop is available. Such an output is capable (or at least should be) of driving four listeners. Take a look at this page: www.shipmodul.com/en/connections.html Fig. 6 at the bottom shows how multiple listeners can be connected to a single talker. In case of your com port, forget about the Out B on the multiplexer. Meindert |
