Re: NMEA 2000 and Raymarine

Correct, I don't believe any manufacturers control unit to course computer protocol is 'open'. We're trying to get the RM X10 to work with N2k navigators/chart plotters taking N2k PGNs for...

Re: NMEA 2000 and Raymarine

I've done some more playing around with N2k and RM X10 AP, including discussing with RM tech support, or better stated, trying to discuss with RM tech support.

The official word from RM support is...

Re: NMEA 2000 and Raymarine

Nick,

The ST70 MFD doesn't transmit any PGNs (except for the requisite control plane stuff), it's just a display. The ST70 AP Controller Display only talks to the X10/X30 AP Corepack via...

Re: NMEA 2000 and Raymarine

Furuno is very slow at fixing bugs. They have 2 moderate to major bugs (IMO) in 2.07 plus a half-ass implementation of AIS. I have a bad feeling about the upcoming NavNet TZ Touch, they could very...

Re: NMEA 2000 and Raymarine

Nick,

My "CP" is Furuno Navnet3D on N2k. Works fine with RM AP on STng.

The trouble seems to be ChuckSK using 0183 to N2k thru the Actisense NGW-1. It's look like either an OpenCPN or...

Re: NMEA 2000 and Raymarine

1) I don't have an X30 to test with, but I do have an X10. It may be a mistake to *assume* the software is similar between these 2 units. My X10 is connected ONLY to the STng (N2k).

2) Since day...

Re: NMEA 2000 and Raymarine

This is not to be taken as defending RM, but I will point out that their AP Corepacks are NOT on the NMEA's list of N2k certified products. Plus RM doesn't advertise them as N2k certified. They do...

Re: NMEA 2000 and Raymarine

I agree that 'no nav' means btw/dtw. My guess is it's all or nothing on RM APs, it requires both GPS and nav from the same network and prioritizes the STng over 0183 so when it sees the Maretron, he...

Re: NMEA 2000 and Raymarine

My guess is that the X30 prioritizes the STng over 0183 and when it see a GPS on the STng it stops listening to the 0183.

Out of curiosity, have you tried stopping OpenCPN from sending RMC? My...

Re: NMEA 2000 and Raymarine

The X-30 will need SOG from the GPS as it's not included in N2K nav PGNs 129283/4.

It makes me think he is trying to feed the X-30 with 0183 nav data, including SOG from the CP and with the N2k...

Re: NMEA 2000 and Raymarine

I remember this as I've cut into several times adding *normal* N2K connectors. This was painful enough that even an old person remembers it. :thumb:

Re: NMEA 2000 and Raymarine

What is your chart plotter? How is it talking to the X30?

I'm asking as it's hard to believe there is that much difference between the X10 & X30.

Re: NMEA 2000 and Raymarine

STng wiring is standard N2k electrically (and color code), the connectors are different. There is no 'extra' ST wire(s) in the cable.

I have (2) ST70, ST70 AP control and X-10 AP with Furuno...
