Re: hooking up laptop navigation program to Raymarine tillerpilot

Dennis, thanks for your reply.

The GPS data comes in via bluetooth com port 5. The Holux 231 sends
out the data, and it is received by a a bluetooth receiver in the card
slot. That has worked well, and shows up both in Capn and Fugawi with
no problem. I just can't figure out how to get Capn to talk to the
autopilot, evn though Fugawi works fine!

Folks:

I have a Panasonic Toughbook with both USB and a real serial port with
an installed copy of Capn ver8.0. Some months ago I purchased a
Rarmarine ST 2000+ tillerpilot, in part due to its ability to receive
naviagation data from the laptop.

Although the tillerpilot works great by itself, it does not want to
talk (or listen?) to the Capn.

To check the wiring of the serial cable, I also ran a copy of Fugawi
4.0, and it works great: the lcd window on the tillerpilot shows the
relevant navigation data being received, and will follow a route quite
well. The GPS is a Holux 231 that connects to a bluetooth receiver
mounted in the card bus--its on com port 5.

Both com ports 1 and 2 were set to 4800, and all the navigation data
is standard NEMA

Has anyone had any luck with a similar set up? Any way to check if
the Capn is sending data out via the serial port? I've got pins 3 and
5 hooked up to the supposed matching pins on the autopilot wiring
conector. and I'm assuming that is working correctly since Fugawi can
talk to it.

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Gary

Is your laptop/Capn software receiving data from the Holux (on pin 2)
?
