Hi

I have a Sailmon E4 Silver-processor connected to Expedition over wifi, using UDP. The sensors are a mix of B&G H2000 and NMEA2000, all integrated through the Sailmon processor. For all standard data (wind, speed, heading, targets, marks etc) it works like a dream.

Just before our last race we installed an Garmin 800 AIS transmitter/receiver (NMEA 2000). The AIS-data showed up on the Vulcan display in the cockpit, but we did not get any AIS data in Expedition. In the instruments page for the Sailmon system I didn't find any options to tell Expedition that it's supposed to receive AIS data.

We didn't have the opportunity for a lengthy debug, but before I go back the coming weekend I wonder if this is supposed to work out of the box or if I have to add some more components to the network? (I have an Actisense NGT-1 which I used to connect the Vulcan to Expedition before we installed the Sailmon processor)

Thanks,

Andreas

Hi

I have a mixed instrument setup with H2000 (Hydra) and NMEA 2000. H2000 has sensors for boat speed, depth and compass (Halycon Gyro), while Wind and GPS is served through NMEA2000 (B&G Vulcan + Triton + H5000 GFD). The H2000 fastnet network is connected to the H5000 network using a H5000 Fastnet Interface.

I have connected Expedition to the NMEA network using Actisense NGT-1. When reading AWA and AWS from the NMEA network it seems that in addition to the NMEA wind sensor, the H5000 Fastnet Interface provides wind data (AWA=0, AWS=0.5). Hence, Expedition alternates between the values, mixing up any calculations and display of the wind data. 

I have tried to go into the configuration of the Actisense connection in Expedition, selecting Wind sensor as source for apparent wind, but with no effect. Is there any way of configuring Expedition or Actisense to disregard the wind data from the Fastnet Interface?

Best regards,

Andreas
