Connect the NMEA data talkers (i.e GPS, AIS, Instruments) to the Multiplexer.
Connect the RS-232 output of the Multiplexer to the Wi-SP.
This gives a Wi-Fi connection for iNavX and gives a Bluetooth connection for MacENC or any other marine navigation software that supports NMEA over a serial port.
Nice thing is that both these NMEA connection points (WiFi and Bluetooth) exist without the need for a PC or a Mac.
Rich,
How can you do this on the BT version of the Miniplex? The AIS has to connect to the RS-232 port since all the other listener ports are 4800, so how can you also connect the Digi-connect to the RS-232 ? Is there another listener port that will hear the AIS? Or can the Digi-Connect work on the Talker #1 port, which can work at 38000?
