seatalkng to old seatalk

[RichardS]

Hi ,

I have an st60 wind that is currently connected to a i70 tridata. The previous owners spliced a Seatalk ng cable into an old Seatalk 1 (black/red and yellow) cable. They did the same from the i70 back to the chart plotter (a70D) . This gave power but no data connection. I have now run a new Seatalk ng cable from i70 back to the a70D. I have depth and speed but no wind data on the chart plotter.

Is there a way to get the wind data back without installing a converter kit (E22158)? I have a spare wire and could run the st60 wind straight back to my NMEA junction box and connect it as an input into the 2nd port of the chart plotter NMEA? would this work? Its just £100 to get wind data on the chart plotter seams pricey?

thanks

Adam

I think that my ST60 wind instrument only outputs Seatalk1 so I believe that you would need the converter to connect the output to an NMEA0183 input. The wind mast head unit has to connect to the ST60, of course, as its output is not NMEA either.

Hi I was surprised to see this thread running again. After getting the Raymarine 70 autopilot control fitted, I found out why the we’re selling so cheaply they are almost impossible to see in normal daylight the only time I can see mine is when it automatically turns on it’s back light I have tried increasing the brightness but no better. However I have bought from USA Autopilot controller that goes on my wrist like a watch wonderful kit.
