Seatalk to Nmea

[João Nunes]

Hello all. Im a bit confused with all the info around, so I have a question.
I would like to send my wind data (raymarine st50+) from a Seatalk cable, to a Nmea to wifi bridge (so I can access that info on my ipad). Does signalk have the capacity to recieve Seatalk, and convert and send as Nmea?
Regards

There is some work done to read Seatalk (I think), but you'd probably be better off using a hardware Seatalk to NMEA 0183 converter like this one: http://www.gadgetpool.de/bestellen/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/21/products_id/54?osCsid=4dlhimri3rsalqv86p7h3ldsl0

Then you can use a Signal K server to read the NMEA and send it to your iPad as SK data. But if you have a NMEA-WiFi bridge and aren't actually interested in the Signal K data format or apps which consume it, then you don't need SK at all. Just connect one of the Seatalk to NMEA bridges from gadgetpool between your Seatalk network and your NMEA-WiFi bridge. This one should work: http://www.gadgetpool.de/bestellen/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/21/products_id/29

Agree with Tim in terms of a hardware bridge. The vYacht takes a Seatalk input and supports signalk

an alternate  method would be to bridge Seatalk to SeatalkNG using the $100 conversion kit -- SeatalkNG is N2k but with different cables.  This does assume you already have the N2K side of your request below.

From my research the gadgetpool i sthe best, because the others I have seen on nmea multiplexers and the like, are read only. With the gadgetpool device, you can write bask to the seatalk bus, either with nmea or $STALK encapped sentences with pure seatalk inside
