[DG] [DG11] Autopilot ST1000+ NMEA Message

[jesper.renz]

Hi,
I want to use my Raspberry Pi to send NMEA telegrams with ordered heading to the ST1000+ Autopilot.

What is the required Baudrate?
What is the correct frequency?
And how does the NMEA message looks like?

I was trying a message like this:
$GPAPB,V,V,0.01,L,N,V,V,160,M,DEST,170,M,170,M*25\r\n

Or like this:
$GPAPB,,,,L,,,,160,,,170,M,170,M*3F\r\n

But the ST1000+ doesn't respond.

I look forward to hear some hints :)
Thank you,
Jesper

Hi Jesper,

The required NMEA0183 sentances are APB and XTE, BTW will also help.
The Baud rate is 4800 and 2 Hz update rate is good

We recommend that you contact NMEA direct, here, since they can supply all the necessary information regarding the data format, structure of sentences etc . .

regards
