Frustrated
I have been trying for several days to get my Garmin 178C GPS to connect to my Simrad IS15 Combi and wind instruments. I have followed up with Garmin to insure I am sending on com port 1 and have set the Simrad IS15 Combi to recieve but I think there is a data recognition problem between the 2 devices. Is there some setting on the Garmin I can change to assist the communication with the 2 devices?? Anyone out there who can assist. Would greatly appreciate any advice/help. Thanks David

Thanks David According to the IS15 manual, the unit uses a two-wire connection for NMEA input, and I expect that the Garmin 178 has a single wire (plus ground)output. You should connect the IS15 NMEA "B" or "LOW" input wire (black or gray, I think) to DC ground. The Garmin 178 should be set for NMEA-0183 output, at 4800 baud. -- Peter Bennett, VE7CEI peterbb4 (at) interchange.ubc.ca GPS and NMEA info: http://vancouver-webpages.com/peter Vancouver Power Squadron: http://vancouver.powersquadron.ca |
