[CA] ST8002 to NMEA 2000 - ME08092017 - 05-09-18 09:39 PM
I would like to connect my ST8002 Smart Pilot to my new NMEA 2000 MFD. I have read many of the threads, but haven’t found any recent ones that may have current SeaTalk to NMEA 2000 solutions(doesn’t mean they’re not out there, but I just haven’t been successful in find them). I have the NMEA 2000 Backbone and the auto pilot is the only non N2K device. If I am successful in connecting this device, what will my MFD be able to do with it. (Simrad Go9 w/4G radar).
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Mark,
It is generally recommended that a NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000 data bridging device (ex. Actisense NGW-1-ISO, etc.) be used for this purpose. The NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000 data bridging device would be interfaced as a spur to the system's powered and properly terminated NMEA 2000 backbone. The NMEA 0183 leads/terminals of the NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000 data bridging device would be interfaced to the autopilot NMEA 0183 Port 1. Interfacing the system in this manner will additionally permit heading and rudder angle data to be supplied to the NMEA 2000 network's devices.
