>> Actually, what I have found helps is to significantly pad the NMEA 2K input so that the "noise" from the windex data stream and mast tip gyration induced variables are minimized.
David: I have a similar setup: B&G Zeus3 MFD with 0183 to Pelagic, as follows (
https://cache.tradeinn.com/images/pd...nu_zeus3.pdf):
4 NMEA 0183 RX_B (orange)
5 NMEA 0183 RX_A (green)
6 NMEA 0183 TX_B (blue)
7 NMEA 0183 TX_A (yellow)
and the Pelagic with inputs as follows (
https://www.westsail.org/resources/m...20R66%20.pdf):
"Connect the small Green (+) and Black (-) wires from the Drive box to your NMEA output, using OUT+ and OUT- on your NMEA output port. Note various manufactures may use slightly different terms for the NMEA0183 inputs and outputs."
So…
1. When you say "pad" the NMEA 2k input, you mean (a) "pad" as in resistor attenuator?? (b) is your NMEA 2k somehow also connected to the Pelagic 0183 through an NMEA converter? (c) The wind data raw from a B&G is in fact 0183 (I believe) and converted to 2k though the little B&G inline box (for the wired sensor version), are you somehow getting direct to the B&G 0183? (that is is my goal).
2. Did you look at the B&G 0183 output and what does it look like? whats the voltage swing?
3. Just as a check, what is connected to what in your setup? (A or +) B& TX_A (yellow) to Pelagic Green (+) (B or -) B&G TX_B (blue) to Pelagic Black (-)?
4. I *think* / *believe* B&G will only output MWV on 0183. I *think* / *believe* Pelagic takes VWR and MWV? Have you checked your sentences? I dont have the capability to, but think I probably need to, help/advice appreciated.
