Who makes a good autopilot that doesn't use a propriatory bus? Need a
plain vanilla type nmea type. Thanks Gordon -- Ask not for whom the terrorist bell tolls; it tolls for thee, and thee, and thee--for decent, innocent people everywhere. |

Gordon,
I don't know, but I need one as well that I can select the NMEA heading sentence source and not have to use an included device. I have my heading devices already and my reversable pump and cylinder.

Try NAVMAN

Certainly all the Raymarine corepack (s1, s2 and s3) support both NMEA as well as Seatalk. The corepacks have 1 NMEA in and out as well as 2 seatalk i/fs. -- Regards, John D Proctor |

Yes, my Raym tillerpilot does take nmea as well....

Looks good on paper. Any experience with them?' Thanks

Bjarke,
No they don't. Most yacht units force you to use their fluxgate compass as a heading input. Commercial units have a selector function and they can accept step, sine/cosine, servo/resolver and others. The yacht unit I have seen only use their own fluxgate. That's why I asked the question. Steve "Bjarke Christensen" (nej, det skal selvfølgelig være med K da jeg er dansker) wrote in message . dk...

Steve As mentioned earlier the Raymarine corepacks do NOT need their own fluxgate and WILL accept heading from NMEA, including fast heading (10 msg/s) from a decent source. They also accept analog heading change from a gyro, but at a fixed input voltage/degree/sec. Just curious -- which "yacht units" have you seen that only use their own fluxgate that are suited to be rigged with external pumps? -- Kees |

Brooks and Gatehouse for one. The B&G units have there own fluxgate and
unique interface with no facility for an external HDG source. For your information, most Gyros do not have Sine/Cosine outputs. They can be had as options, but are VERY expensive. This is true for SPERRY and ANSCHUTZ for sure. Sine/Cosine is the standard interface for a fluxgate though. Gyros use 3phase Step (Commercial) and Servo/Resolver (Military). Commercial autopilots have a select feature to use multiple inputs for HDG on a selector switch like Gyro 1, Gyro 2, Sat Compass, etc, as well as the ability to configure for each one. Thanks for the Raymarine tip though, as I recall, Raymarine has 2 lines, commercial and yacht. Do the yacht models have the NMEA HDG input as well? Steve "Kees Verruijt" wrote in message ...
