Been meaning to blog about it, but not got around to it yet. Essentially it's just a (bunch of) USB-serial converters and the Seatalk data is converted by a Raymarine E85001. If you have N2k, you need a different converter, e.g. Actisense or better yet, a translator to NMEA0183, which is the de-facto standard for NMEA over TCP/IP.



Yup, I've got an ActiSense NGT-1 that outputs NMEA 2000 PGNs on USB Serial that I can decode with CanBoat: https://github.com/chrismetcalf/canboat-ansible

You can tell by the age of the repo that I got a bit distracted... the distraction just turned two years old.
