[CA11] Evolution Autopilot / Axiom - ParrotParty - 06-02-17 07:54 AM
Can the Axiom MFD with Lighthouse 3 control an Evolution Autopilot or is a Control head required
RE: [CA11] Evolution Autopilot / Axiom - Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator - 06-02-17 10:13 AM
Welcome to the Raymarine Forum ParrotParty,
While a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFDs operating with the latest LightHouse II software support Autopilot Control and do not require an autopilot control head when interfaced to an Evolution autopilot, the Autopilot Control feature has not yet been implemented with LightHouse 3 software for the Axiom MFDs. Accordingly, an Evolution Autopilot Control Head will need to be installed at this time should an Axiom MFD be interfaced to an Evolution Autopilot. This feature has been logged as a high priority feature to be included within a future LightHouse 3 software update for the Axiom MFDs.

I have the same question as the OP. His answer:
“the Autopilot Control feature has not yet been implemented with LightHouse 3 software for the Axiom MFDs. Accordingly, an Evolution Autopilot Control Head will need to be installed at this time should an Axiom MFD be interfaced to an Evolution Autopilot. This feature has been logged as a high priority feature to be included within a future LightHouse 3 software update for the Axiom MFDs.â€
What’s the answer now that it’s 20 months later? I’m looking at buying a new boat with a 9†Axiom installed but no room for a separate control head. Help please.
Many thanks!

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Skipper71,
Q. What’s the answer now that it’s 20 months later?
A. Major feature additions are documented within the Software History Table of the corresponding product's software update web page and in this case, also within the latest version of the LightHouse 3 Advanced Operation Instructions. The Autopilot Controls feature for Evolution Autopilots was introduced in the LightHouse 3 v3.1.96 software update. For detailed information on this feature, it is recommended customers review Chapter 6: Autopilot Control of the LightHouse 3.8 Advanced Operation Instructions
