Integrating expedition with B&G electronics using Yacht td usb device
I am trying to get expedition integrated into the NMEA2000 electronics system on my boat through a YDNU-02 NMEA 2000 USB Gateway and I am having an issue. At the risk of providing too much information...
Most of the equipment (listed figure 1) in the network is B&G using a Zues 3S9, a NAC 3 autopilot computer, and triton 2 repeaters and controllers,
and
The PC, running windows 10, is picking up the device as com4.
At the command prompt (following my username) in terminal I have sent the command
echo YDNU MODE RAW > COM4
Using Yacht Devices CanLog Viewer I can open the datasteam and view the NMEA 2000 Navigation and Environmental Data
Closing the CANLOG viewer and opening expedition I can connect to the instruments in com4.
When I view the raw data many lines just have text.
Some have numbers (Fig 2).
If I go to charts in expedition I can see my vessel location as well as vessel locations from the Digital Yacht AIS. In the number boxes I can also see data from a YDBC-05
Barometer in the system but nothing else from the networked sensors.
Under Yacht device settings I have N2K PGNs set to defaults for Rx and Send.
The screenshots show the NK2 system (Fig 3),
Sources,
I have left everything else as is
What am I doing wrong here?
Nick White was quite helpful with this.
The main issue with connecting expedition with the instruments was solved by allowing Expedition to calculate true wind and direction by selecting Twa, tws and twd in the Instruments sub-menu from the menu at the top left of Expedition. This might not be the case if I had a B&G H5000 system on the boat but I don't.
