Some time ago I sent a post about interfacing a B&G 390 system with current
electronics, specifically the Zeus Touch series. For those interested, it
works! The Zeus can take a 0183 input and NMEA 2000. The system interfaces
both using the 0183 port directly without any conversion from the 0183 v.1.5 of
the 390 and allows readings of AWS, AWD, TWS, TWD, BS, Heading and Log to come
thru even though the Zeus is 0183 v. 4.0 . Also tried the NMEA 2000 route with
an Actisense NGW-1 gateway and it works. Depth seems to be a problem since the
Zeus has an internal ecosounder and I can't figure how to get the 390 depth
reading yet. I have also taken the GPS/NAV data from the Zeus thru a NGW-1
gateway which converts 2000 to 0183 and sent it to the 390 input to get cross
track, VMG, etc. info from the 390. My Raymarine autopilot also works either
off the 390's output or directly from the Zeus NMEA 2000 buss.
