I recently installed a ST2000+ tiller pilot on my Catalina 30. I want to have this autopilot talk to my NMEA2000 network, so I can pilot using both wind data (from a Garmin Nexus Wind instrument) and my GPS (from a Garmin 740S). The instructions for the ST2000+ tiller pilot says that it can communicate with a NMEA 0183 interface.
I thought NMEA 2000 was backwards compatible, so that the ST 2000 would work with the NMEA 2000 network.
Anyhow I bought another NMEA 2000 T and a drop cable, added them to my network, and stripped the drop cable to review the white and green data wires, and wired these two wires into the ST 2000+ plug as instructed, and the auto pilot does not see the wind instrument.
Anybody out there in A4 land have and solved this issue? Any advice on where to go for more help?
