I have been trying to get my A70 plotter to recognise the ST 4000 + Autopilot.
I originally tried running NMEA 183 IN/OUT from the A70 to an ST 60 Multi that is connected to ST1 backbone and I had no luck.
I then tried NMEA 183 from the A70 to the NMEA IN port on the ST 4000 + and no luck.
The manual says if I connect more than 1 NMEA device I need a Seatalk – NMEA 183 converter.
As Raymarine no longer make one I could use an Actisense product.
I am unsure but where I would install it and how I should wire it.
I have not shown it on my very basic diagram but I do have a spare ST1 plug on the ST 60 Multi.
I hope my diagram makes sense and currently power is supplied through the ST 4000+ and am also wondering if I need to supply more power to the backbone ?
I look forward to any suggestions
