Cheap Transport 72 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I'm sure it's been asked multiple times but I'm looking for the above, preferably sourced locally. Fairly simple set up of B&G Vulcan and DST Triton package - I'm simply wanting to link my older Navico 300c tiller pilot (same as earlier TP32) to steer to a preset waypoint. I sailed on a R930 with this exact set up so I know it can be done, just need a converter. Would this do the trick? https://www.lusty-blundell.co.nz/product-group/13392-actisense-ngw-1-nmea-2000-0183/category/1755-converters If not, recommendations please.

I have one of those if you want it ? Funnily enough I got it off the owner before you of meanstreak . It was free with a furler so happy to pay it forward ….minus the furler 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ballystick 76 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I have that converter for my B&G Vulcan with a Precision 9 compass, the converter works well with the Nexus NMEA0183 depth, speed, wind and angles but one time I managed to get the Nexus compass info through for the AP and the slow reaction time was too much to hold a smooth course. Waypoints might be OK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,278 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 To get really good AP responses, really you want a 10hz heading, preferred corrected for roll, pitch and yaw. Nmea0183 can't do that, it's not fast enough. However, that is a good converter. For best results, use the minimum number of nmea 0183 sentences possible to control the pilot. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
