engine monitoring with raymarine and crusader engines?
Bill,
I know what you mean about too many adaptors. As to which type is being run as the backbone.... with the Lowrance displays comes a Lowrance backbone (bus). I know nothing about Raymarine but guess/assume they have a backbone of their own design. Wouldn't it be nice if all the connectors were made to a single convention?? Perhaps some day interoperability between electronics manufacturers will be a reality. As it is, one needs to be much smarter than I to consider mixing and matching. I guess about the best we can do, so far, is DSC connections between differing manufacturers of VHF and GPS. That's a start, anyway. Butch "Bill Kearney" wrote in message t... I understand some folks are converting the Lowrance connectors to Micro-C connectors. There are five connectors I've encountered thus far. The back of the E-80 (a 5-pin circular whose type I don't know is is Micro-C?), the LowranceNet bus, SeaTalk2 ,Micro-C and Mini-C. Which type is being run as the backbone? Coupled with news from this panbo post: http://www.panbo.com/yae/archives/001246.html The LowranceNet connectors are being obsoleted in favor of Micro-C? http://www.panbo.com/yae/archives/Lo...t%20cables.jpg I believe this is discussed on THT thehulltruth.com in the electronics forum at some length. Take a look. Yeah, THT has a number of good posts but nothing that really lays it all out (yet) I just want to avoid running something that'll require too many adapters. -Bill Kearney |
