[CA] [CA11] Seatalk AutoPilot and SeatalkNG AutoPilot

[Dhacker@craworld.com]

I have installed the EV-1, ACU150 and P70Rs. All have power indications, and there appears to be network connectivity as I see the degrees change on the P70Rs, and when I had to take the boat for a spin, 'Detecting magnetics' was displayed on the P70Rs, (even thought the dockside wizard had not run).

Problem: There is no Rudder Reference displayed on the P70Rs.

I tested the Rudder Reference Transducer using http://forum.raymarine.com/showthread.php?tid=95. All resistance measurements seemed normal:

red-green: 4.73 kohms continuous, stop to stop
red-blue (in my case black): port=2.11; midships=2.48; stbd=2.81
blue-green: port=2.84; midships=2.45; stbd=2.13

I can't figure out why the rudder reference is not displayed. Is there another wire that is needed? Or some configuration setting somewhere to turn it on?

I have attached a couple of pix. One shows the P70Rs display with no rudder reference indicated. The second shows the wiring after I reconnected the rudder reference transducer cable.

thanks,

Dave
