Hi,
I have an ST2000+ autopilot connected to OpenCPN. I'd like to take advantage of "WindTrim" mode. The manual says I need to receive VWR sentences for that to work, but my wind instrument only puts out WMV sentences.
In a post on this forum, "NMEA0183 Wind Steering on ST2000", post #6, the moderator says, in part "Should the instrument be transmitting MWV NMEA 0183 sentence to the autopilot, then there would be no need to additionally transmit the VWR sentence to the autopilot."
Does this mean that MWV sentences will work for WindTrim mode?
Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Peter
