Hi,
I am having a problem with my eS127 not being able to interface with the attached B60 transducer since I upgraded to LH3 software.
I recently upgraded to Lighthouse 3, now using the latest software v3.9.46. The transducer had been working fine with the LH2 software, but it had been about 6 months since I had been out on the boat. Of course, this could be a hardware problem, but I'm getting enough strange indications to think it may be software.
The boat also has an older TriData ST-60 with another B60 transducer on the SeaTalk network. That data is being put on the network and is being used by the eS127, see below.
Here is what I see in the eS127
When I first go into the Fishfinder mode, i get a message "No sonar source available"
In the Fishfinder mode, when go to Settings - Transducer I get a "None" button first then a "B60/SS60" button. It switches between None and B60 buttons after I have tried to get B60 selected. This started with the default transducer button "P58/..." and I was able to switch it to B60.
If I go to the Sounder page the Ping Enabled button toggles from on to off, about the same periodicity as it did in the transducer page.
In the Home - Settings - Network - Data Sources I get the message "Searching for devices that display depth. At first I had two selections "SeaTalk STNG Connector" and "eS127". I selected eS127 but still doesn't let me select the B60 transducer and I get the "No Sonar Source Available" messages.
Sorry for the long post, but wanted to try to convey what I'm seeing. I'm sure you can make it simpler.
Thanks, Hube
