I'd guess that you need the kit if you're not willing to drill holes in
your wooden wheel. Take a look at the belt wheel that comes with the
autopilot and check whether you can attach it readily to your wheel. It
should be easy. (But everything always turns out a litter harder when you
actually *attempt* it :-))

-< ST2000 interface for 1000? >-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have an Autohelm 1000 and would like to add the interface to talk
with my Loran via the 183 interface. The interface retails for $450
and I'm in no way interested in spending that amount of money. I've
noticed that the new Autohelm ST2000 (?) has an optional interface to a
Loran (or to "SeaTalk" devices) that sells for about $113. This amount
I would pay. So the question is will that interface work with the
older 1000?
Regards,
Ron

I just called Autohelm; no deal on what I'm trying to do. Their older
interface retails for $350 which is too much for getting cross-track
features (and destination features).
I wonder if there are any "used" interfaces around.

| 1878.6 | help adding laptop | OLDTMR::FRANCEY | M/L&CE SECG dtn 223-5427 pko3-1/d18 | Tue Jul 07 1992 16:18 | 25 |
| Autohelm told me that the ST2000 has much more intelligence than the AH
1000 and that the ST2000 interface ($113) won't work with the AH 1000
(when coupled to my Sea Ranger 2000 Loran.
Let's take this as a challenge. Both units (AH 1000 and Loran) use the
183 interface. The Loran supplies input to the AH via "sentences".
What is the exact protocol of the 183 interface? Can I get a laptop,
buy a card that has the interface, write or get a driver, supply a user
program to handle the interface and get what I want?
The laptop should be battery powered with a recharge from my 12 volt
battery, somehow. The "card" might be something I could get from Radio
Shack.
Does anybody have any suggestions on where to get the 183
specifications? This project could be a fun job for me to do (and
debug) during a sail (under light winds!).
Are there any publications that go intoi great depth on the "sentences"
exchanged among the instruments using 183?
Regards,
Ron
