Hi all. Hoping someone can help me. I have an FCV585 and have recently installed an Onwa KP1299-A chartplotter with built in AIS. The specs for the Onwa say it receives TLL nmea sentences. My hope is that I can connect the 2 units together to a. Have Onwa feed GPS data to Furuno and then have Furuno feed water temp / depth and, when I press the Mark button on the Furuno, that a waypoint will show up on the Onwa. But here is my dilemma and question. The Furuno is obviously rs422 nmea0183 with TX- & TX+, and RX- & RX+ whereas the Onwa is rs232 with TX+ and RX+ and GND. Can someone advise me how to wire these up? Do I have to get converters? I’ve read you can wire them without converters if ‘you know what you are doing’!
Appreciate any help / advise people are able to provide.
