[CA11] Axiom 7 & X-5 Wheelpilot conflict
I have installed the Axiom 7 and have it working what appears to be correctly, with all of the current software updates to unit and Navionics chart card.
When I introduced my Raymarine X-5 wheel pilot to the new network I get a conflict difference in heading displayed on the X-5 control head. It is approximately 65 degrees out from the ship's compass. I get that it will be a little out, but not to this degree. Curiously, this position is echoed on the Axiom screen showing the ship icon skewed at approximately the same angle.
The collective system will not follow a route, but will follow to a single waypoint.
I went through the set up again and re-set the X-5, and again it has gone to the same angle offset.
My best guess is the Axiom 7 and the X-5 don't understand each other.
could be 0183 vs 2000 (though they are connected thru a SeaTalk port)

I am tempted to chuck the old Autopilot X-5 and replace it with a new one, but I am not going to do this without a clear understanding of what's going on. The two products are from the same manufacturer so it should work. Curious also that the old Standard Horizon chart plotter never had a problem with the X-5
