[CA] Axiom Pro Heading Data from Autopilot

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Kevin,

Per our conversation yesterday, I was successful in having a PC transmit NMEA 0183 sentence $APHDG,213.7,,,,*5FR (which you had captured from the third party autopilot) to an Axiom Pro MFD running LightHouse 3 v3.4.x beta software . The MFD was then able to display the corresponding heading value (214 degrees) as a data overlay within the MFD's Chart application. I then disconnected the PC serial data cable from the MFD's Power/NMEA 0183/Video input cable and then connected the leads of this cable to an Actisense NGW-1-STNG. After doing so, the MFD again displayed the corresponding heading value (214 degrees) as a data overlay within the MFD's Chart application. As the release of the LightHouse 3 v3.4.x software update is imminent, it is recommended that you wait for the release of this software before performing any additional troubleshooting.
