Hi there,
I have purchased and installed a PG700 to act as a compass for my NavPilot 511. I could not get my hands on a PG500 and the manual seems to indicate that its not mandatory to use the PG500. I have converted the N2K messages from the PG700 to NMEA0183 HCHDG messages at the appropriate Baud rate and fed them to the NMEA input of the AP. I have changed the COMPASS selection to be "OTHER" (rather than PG500).
When I check the incoming port activity, the HDG message from the PG700 does not appear. I know the wiring and Baud rate are correct as there are other messages coming in the same port, and these show up on the port monitor.
What do I need to do to make the 511 recognise this HDG input message.
Does it only accept this message on the compass port?
Thanks for any suggestions.
