SeaTalk Technical Reference ~ by Thomas Knauf

”SeaTalk is a simple interface for networking Raymarine/Autohelm marine equipment so that all devices of a ship can exchange and share their data. SeaTalk is a proprietary solution of Autohelm and not compatible with NMEA or CAN. Unfortunately Raymarine keeps the technical details of SeaTalk secret. To assist users who want to develop hard- or software to connect their devices to the SeaTalk bus these pages uncover some of the mysteries. Part 3 adds hints how to interface SeaTalk with a PC. The information is unsupported by Raymarine and was found by watching the bits travelling on the bus. Therefore the description is incomplete inaccurate and may even be wrong. Corrections and contributions are welcome.”
