The iKonvert set to NMEA 2000, serial port set to Digital yacht raw, works well

Only issue I have noted so far is the need to calculate TWA

Hi,

I am looking to connect Exp to my B&G NMEA 2K network using the DY iKonvert USB device.

First connection was with the dip switches in standard Gateway Mode. Power LED lit green and N2K flashed amber steadily. No data was in Exp though...

After reading this thread I flipped the 4 dip switches it 'on' for Raw Mode and made the changes in Exp's network settings. When powering up now I get green power LED, but nothing on the N2K LED and still nothing in Exp.

I guess that no flashing on the N2K means nothing is being seen by the iKonvert, so naturally nothing in Exp.

Any ideas on what to do next would be gratefully received!

Thanks Nick. That's the configuration I have at the moment.

The 4 dip switches are now in the 'on' position which is 'Raw' mode according to the manual. In this arrangement I no longer have the N2K LED flashing amber...

Thanks again Nick. There is nothing appearing in the raw data window.

I was wondering if the N2K LED indicates the iKonvert is seeing the NMEA data - so the fact it's not flashing says that it isn't seeing any data in the raw mode? The yacht NMEA network looks to be working fine - all instruments, AIS, GPS etc. are displaying data as normal.

In the pop up box that appears after clicking on Instruments from the menu bar, top left it says 'Network 0, Open'. If I understand correctly that means the port status?
