[CA] [CA11] Axiom compatibly with Simrad tp32 tiller pilot

[Ckliever]

Hey all,

My boat came with a Simrad tp32 tiller pilot installed when I purchased it. It had no other electronics to speak of. I have just added an axiom 7” display and an ev-1 compass along with ais, and depth and wind transducers. I had planned to use the tiller pilot as a stand-alone until today when I discovered that it may be possible to use the tp32 to receive waypoint information from the axiom and navigate along a course that I set in the mfd. That would be great! I haven’t been able to confirm if the Axiom is compatible though, assuming that I can get the two to talk. The tp32 is NMEA 0183 but has a simnet cable connection. Simnet is nmea 2000 compatible. So if I get the appropriate adapter cables to link the tp32 to my seatalk ng network will this work? According to the tiller pilot documentation, the tiller pilot takes the waypoint data directly from the mfd, and there are no intermediary components required.

Thanks for the help!
