I want to confirm the wiring details to connect my SCX20 to my Navpilot 500 autopilots, replacing the current PG500 heading sensors. Can you confirm or correct the following: Most of below is from a post I found re: connection to SC30 so I'm basically confirming the same applies to the SCX20.
1. Install IFNMEA2k2. Cut the orange wire to get 38,400 baud functionality.
2. Tie back unused wires so they don't touch each other.
3. Connect IFNMEA2k2 to NMEA 2000 bus once to activate the 38,400 connection.
4. Connect yellow wire from IFNMEA to TB8-1 in AP processor.
5. Connect green wire to TB8-2.
6. No other wire connections required? No bare wire connection?
7. Set processor to other and select 38,400 baud.
I have two autopilots, only one is ever turned on at any time. I assume i can run NMEA 0183 wires from the IFNMEA2k2 to a terminal block and split off to TB8-1 and TB8-2 on each of the two autopilots and whichever one is operating will see the SCX20 compass?
I would appreciate confirmation of above, or any corrections needed, and any other tips to get this installation working. Thanks.
