N2K PGNs from Victron Cerbo GX in Expedition

Interestingly, I'm not seeing any posts on Victron integration.  So maybe I'm the first trying to do what I describe below (or maybe just the first to have problems doing it).

So after a couple of lightning strikes over the years, I removed the expensive B&G Zeus display from my setup.  I have no MFDs--just two Panasonic laptops and an integrated Beetronics display.  I feed all B&G Hercules data into my laptop through Ethernet and all other N2K data using the latest Actisense (NGX-1). 

For power and charging, I have 2x 200 Ah Victron Lithium smart batteries (controlled by a Lynx BMS), and 4 110W solar panels attached to individual MPPTs.  The BMS and MPPTs are connected to a Victron Cerbo GX communication hub.  The data ingested by the hub are then output to N2K.

In Expedition, I'm easily able to add the Charge% output by the Lynx BMS into number boxes.  But is there a a way to get other N2K data relating to my batteries and charging in Expedition?  Based on information from the Actisense NMEA reader software, all data coming from the Cerbo is part of the 127508 N2K PGN, which I know Expedition reads.

What I can't figure out is how to get custom data into number boxes (maybe using user channels?).  Other than Charge%, I'd love to get data on how many amps are being pumped into the system from each MPPT.

Thanks!

Josh

I would need to add it.

Maybe email me the details.

Copy that.  Thx, Nick.  I'll compile the information and email you.
