Hey all,
I have a
boat made in the 90s, with items such as a
Garmin GPS Map 182C, and other things of a similar vintage. The
boat is an 11 hour drive away so I won't have the ability to get the exact models of all the other
electronics for a few weeks.
My goal is to hook everything up to an android tablet and
opencpn and hopefully be able to program waypoints etc. My question is - all the articles I've seen have referenced hooking up only up to 4 nmea0183 devices to a multiplexer. Online, the mux devices which I have seen only have up to 4 inputs.
How would I then get data from 6
instruments to a multiplexer and then to a
wifi network to the tablet? Do i need to chain 2 multiplexers together (ie anemometer +
depth +speed to mux1. Mux1 sent to mux2 which muxes mux1 +
gps +
ais + autopilot)
Thanks for any help or direction.
devices:
Autopilot
GPS (I believe i have stand-alone GPS receivers)
Anemometer
Depth
Speed
AIS
