[CA] [CA11] Integrating VHF and AIS to Classic E MFDs

[folkmeister]

Chuck,

Trying again with the attachment, I was not clicking "Add Attachment"! - this is a new diagram showing my whole network.

The SeaTalk NG components on the upper left side are the new proposed items.

I went ahead and tried it this weekend (Coverters are not yet permanently installed), and it seems to be working, even though it is receiving power over the SeaTalk 1 bus (maybe due to low power demands connected to the backbone?).

Yes - VHF is getting NMEA 0183 GPS data via the E70196 converter
Yes - Vesper AIS is getting boat data via NMEA 2000 connection to the E22185

It would be simple for me to add a ST-NG power spur, if recommended -- if I do that, are any steps necessary to prevent the converter from receiving 12v over the SeaTalk1 connection?

Thank you.
