[TG] [TG11] integration AIS and Raymarine autopilot ST6000 with AXIOM

Hello flammpz,

Quote:How do I have to connect the autopilot to make the autopilot follow routes?

It should already do so. The Autopilot Control option will not be available for a pilot of this age (as in, switching the pilot's mode from the Axiom or doing calibration), but you should still be able to engage pilot Track mode. If you press Track and you get a 'No Data' alarm on the pilot, that's probably the lack of magnetic variation (the pilot needs to know how to convert True bearing-to-waypoint to a magnetic course-to-steer.) You can solve this by setting a manual magnetic variation in the pilot's setup.

Quote:Can I connect the Axiom to the Easy TRX2 via wifi to receive the AIS data? I can do that in phone and tablets but require of an app. Is there something similar for the Raymarine?

Our displays support either of the industry-standard interfaces for AIS data, NMEA0183 or NMEA2000 (not all displays support both - Axiom only supports NMEA2000/SeatalkNG.) There's no NMEA standard defined for AIS or other navigation data over wireless networks at this stage, and since we build our own AIS devices (which connect over either NMEA standard) we obviously haven't implemented apps to specifically support third-party devices over non-standard interfaces.
Does your AIS only have NMEA0183? If so, yes, you would need a 3rd-party AIS-capable NMEA0183-NMEA2000 convertor connected to the Axiom's STNG/NMEA2000 network. The Actisense NGW-1 would be one option.
