Can I connect all this stuff together and if yes, how do you recommend ?
Where is Meindert selling his multiplexers when you need him....(c;
Meindert on the net is the manufacturer of a nice NMEA multiplexer. NMEA
is a very simply, and now archaic, serial data line that can only have ONE
talker talking to a bunch of listeners. Because the Yeoman is a talker,
sending out waypoint data for instance to the other chartplotters on the
network, you'll need a multiplexer with an input port for each talker,
separately. Yeoman, GPS, Compass Sensor, Depth Sounder, etc. Anything
that has data to contribute. Sometimes, you can get a group of same
manufacturer stuff to connect just to one port. Our Seatalk instruments
data all comes out one port on the Raymarine Radar, for instance.
But, on NMEA, you have to have a multiplexer to store the data coming in,
then spit it out, one statement at a time, to all the listeners hooked
together on its output.
Meindert has lots of information on NMEA and how to hook it up on:
