Hello Dave,
I would have to bang my
head against the wall ... But it hurts. I will avoid.
I just read the manual of my autopilot. Why, I did not do it sooner!
Obviously, you're right. Unable to send a road or even just waypoint.
So you're right, leave the item as you did.
But I have another question.
In the manual of the autopilot I found the list of
NMEA sentences he uses.
Suppose a boat very well equipped electronic
instruments (This is not the case of mine, but that's another story). Using a connection to a port input and / or output, will my OpenCPN to provide autopilot every sentence he may need? And vice versa, will my OpenCPN
NMEA sentences using the autopilot issue.
Below is a list of NMEA sentences. I read this list on the
SIMRAD manual (TP10/TP22/TP32) page 26:
6.3 NMEA sentences received
The
NMEA 0183 information required for full functionality of
the TP22 and TP32 whilst in Nav mode is as follows:
– Cross Track Error
– Bearing to
destination waypoint
– Arrival at waypoint indication
– Magnetic variation
– Boat speed
This information is extracted from the following
NMEA 0183
sentences:
Received Data
APA Cross Track Error, bearing to/arrival at waypoint
APB Cross Track Error, bearing to/arrival at waypoint
RMA Speed & course over ground & magnetic variation
RMB Cross track error, bearing to/arrival at waypoint (T)
RMC Speed & course over ground & magnetic variation
BWR Bearing to/arrival at waypoint (rhumb line)
BWC Bearing to/arrival at waypoint (great circle)
VHW Boat Speed
XTE Cross Track Error
Note The Cross Track Error (XTE) information has a maximum
value of 1.2 Nautical Miles. If the XTE exceeds this while using
Nav mode, the Tillerpilot will sound an
alarm, exit Nav mode
and return to
Compass Auto mode.
The Tillerpilot also extracts the apparent
wind angle from the
following NMEA 0183 sentences:
Received Data
VWR Apparent
Wind Speed & Angle
MWV Apparent Wind Speed & Angle
Thank you in advance for your answer about this long post. I'll obviously need an answer for me to write with less de'erreur possible, a web page on the website that I provide for OpenCPN. Thank you in advance for your detailed response.
Best regards Gilletarom.
