RE: [CA] i60 True wind not working
True wind is now displaying correctly on my i60 ... at least I haven't been able to make it fail. At Chuck's suggestion I replaced my ST-STng converter that had been located under the pedestal with an STng 5-way connector, and extended the STng backbone to the NavPod where my i50 tridata, i60 wind, and ST4000+ autopilot live. I terminated the backbone in the NavPod on the ST-STng converter, ran STng spurs to the i50 and i60, and ST1 to the ST4000+ (only signal and field connected to the AP ... no power).
I tried for half a day to pull the backbone cable with the connector up the chase to the NavPod, but no luck. I wound up having to cut the cable and re-splice it about 1 ft from the end in the NavPod. While not the ideal situation, each connection was soldered and spliced, the shielding was preserved and re-wrapped as well as possible, and a large heatshrink installed over the whole bundle. I've attached PDFs of the before and after schematics. - Mick |
