[CA] T221 Wireless Mast Rotation sensor and wind calculations

[galacticair]

(second thread focusing on Mast Rotation and wind data)

I’m thinking of expanding an existing Raymarine/TackTick wireless system that has:
- Speed/depth transducers with hull transmitter (T121)
- Dual display (T111)
- Racemaster (T070)

Specifically, I’d like to add:
- Wireless wind transducer (T120)
- (Likely) Wireless mast rotation compass (T221) since we’re on a multihull with a rotating mast
- Axiom MFD on a NMEA 2000 backbone

(1) On which devices does the MicroNet network calculate the mast rotation angle and wind data (AWA, TWA, TWD)?

I might in the future replace parts of the Wireless system with NMEA 2000 components. So will MicroNet continue to calculate Mast Rotation/AWA/TWD/TWA if:
(1a) I remove the T121 hull transmitter and speed/depth transducers (replacing them with NMEA 2000 data via the Micro-Talk Gateway)?

(1b) I do not have a Analog Wind display (T112)? I plan to just use the current Dual Display (T111) for wind calibration, and NMEA 2000 displays / plotters after that.

My current thinking: so long as the T111 display does all the rotation and wind calculations, then I just need to keep the T111, the T120 wind transducer, and the T221 mast rotation compass, to still have functional mast rotation/wind data (so long as the other necessary input data like HDG, BSP comes in via the Micro-Talk Gateway)? Is that correct?


(2) Does the Axiom MFD recognize/display the mast rotation data from the Micro-Talk Gateway? (the Micro-Talk Gateway manual says that Mast Rotation is passed on to SeaTalk NG, but I'm not sure what for). What does the Axiom do with the mast rotation data, if anything?

Thank you! There's limited information for us sailors who'd like to use the Mast Rotation sensor in a mixed wireless-NMEA 2000 system, so I appreciate the help!
