I'm wrapping up my upgrade from a C120 to E120. My connections are as follows:
SeatalkHS - HS switch - SR100 & DSM300 - SRA 50/Transducer
Radar - analog radar
Seatalk 2 - NMEA2k backbone (via Mare-005) - Engines/trim tabs - power
That leaves the NMEA 0183 and Seatalk/Alarm Out ports open.
The last two pieces of equipment to hook up are:
1. Raystar 125
2. S2 Course computer (hooked up to fluxgate compass, rudder sensor, ST 8002, and power)
As I understand it, both are able to be hooked up to both ports. I'm currently thinking I will run the GPS to NMEA and the S2 to Seatalk. I believe this will allow direct connections and avoid any converters.
Q1 - will this configuration work and is it optimal?
Q2 - will I be able to control the autopilot from the display or simply use the track feature to goto waypoints?
