Hello, I just installed a new Axiom 9" with real view, it works great! However I can't seem to get my original autopilot to work. I purchased the converter to allow my Axiom unit to talk to my original ST6001 autopilot through seatalk. for some reason I can't get it to work properly and I've tried everything.
I can't get the autopilot to calibrate and read direction properly, I tested the fluxgate compass, it was within spec after testing but not perfect so I ordered and installed a new one, that didn't help, it still wouldn't calibrate and read proper direction. So then I figured it must be the computer so I purchased a tested S1 autopilot computer and replaced my original, that didn't fix it. The crazy thing is that it worked when I had my original C120 in place before I installed the new Axiom unit.
Any ideas? Is there a way for me to ensure the Axiom unit is properly communicating with the ST6001 autopilot? Would it calibrate properly if it wasn't? I'm getting tired of doing circles.... Thanks
