hooking up laptop navigation program to Raymarine tillerpilot
Glen, thanks for the reply. I hadn't considered that option, though it is mentioned on the Capn/Maptech web site. It gives me something to think about, and look into.. Thanks Gary On Sun, 09 Jul 2006 16:04:44 -0700, wrote: Folks: I have a Panasonic Toughbook with both USB and a real serial port with an installed copy of Capn ver8.0. Some months ago I purchased a Rarmarine ST 2000+ tillerpilot, in part due to its ability to receive naviagation data from the laptop. Although the tillerpilot works great by itself, it does not want to talk (or listen?) to the Capn. To check the wiring of the serial cable, I also ran a copy of Fugawi 4.0, and it works great: the lcd window on the tillerpilot shows the relevant navigation data being received, and will follow a route quite well. The GPS is a Holux 231 that connects to a bluetooth receiver mounted in the card bus--its on com port 5. Both com ports 1 and 2 were set to 4800, and all the navigation data is standard NEMA Has anyone had any luck with a similar set up? Any way to check if the Capn is sending data out via the serial port? I've got pins 3 and 5 hooked up to the supposed matching pins on the autopilot wiring conector. and I'm assuming that is working correctly since Fugawi can talk to it. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Gary I haven't worked with a recent release of CAPN, but the old ones wanted to send the autopilot output to the same port the GPS was on. Has that changed? _________________________________________________ ___________ Glen "Wiley" Wilson usenet1 SPAMNIX at world wide wiley dot com To reply, lose the capitals and do the obvious.
