Data from EV-1

Keith,

Q1. If (per the docs) the EV-1 is not outputting 127251 (ROT) and 127257 (Attitude), is the ACU getting this via a Proprietary PGN?
A1. Contrary to what you may have read, the EV-1 Sensor Core is transmitting PGN 127251 ROT and PGN 127257 Attitude (roll, pitch, and yaw are being populated within this PGN). Should you have disconnected the weather station from the system and then used the NGT-1 with Actisense's NMEA Reader software, then your finding should be as have been stated within this response.

Q2: Since the ACU will only use the EV-1, I then need to make sure that my laptop nav program is also using that heading sensor. And the EV-1 (again, according to the docs) will make use of the 130306 (Wind Data) from the Airmar. Is that correct?
A2: It is recommended that a single data source be used with the system. As the autopilot will be using data from the EV-1, it is recommended that all devices, computer apps, etc. use data from the EV-1 as well.
