Seatalk1 to Seatalkng

[David Fletcher]

I am in the process of updating ST60 instruments to I70 seatalkng. I have an existing ST60 Wind and a S1G course computer which I wish to use in the new system.

My plan is to build a Seatalkng back bone connecting the new Ray260 radio, E95 MFD, I70 and P70 to seatalk ng bus. Connect the Wind to a wind pod and the pod to the seatalk ng, in the ng bus. I would install a seatalkng to seatalk1 converter with a connector ( yellow plug ) to the S1G. Will this converter allow bi directional data from the seatalk 1 to the seatalk ng? My concern is that all of the data from the S1G be available for the ng system data from the flux gate compass and the rudder reference.

It seems simple enough however am I missing anything. Can I daisy chain the St6o wind directly to the I70 and receive the wind date via sealtalk ng, if so do you set the St60 as a master or a repeater?

Thanks
