Digital Yacht - SeaTalk to NMEA Converter

Seamless Integration for Legacy SeaTalk Systems

The Digital Yacht SeaTalk to NMEA Converter is a compact yet powerful solution designed for seamless bi-directional data conversion between legacy Autohelm or Raymarine SeaTalk networks and NMEA0183 devices. Whether upgrading your vessel’s navigation system or integrating with modern equipment, this converter ensures reliable data transmission while maintaining compatibility with existing SeaTalk 1 networks.

Many boats still operate on SeaTalk 1, and with Raymarine’s original E85001 converter discontinued, this device provides an essential bridge for smooth data communication. Its opto-isolated NMEA0183 input and differential NMEA0183 output allow for a secure and interference-free connection, ensuring critical navigational data flows efficiently between systems.

For developers and advanced users, the converter offers a unique "Raw Data" mode ($STALK), which is gaining traction in Open Source projects, providing an extra layer of customization for enhanced functionality.

Reliable and Efficient Data Conversion

This bi-directional converter is specifically designed to facilitate communication between legacy and modern marine electronics. Powered directly from the SeaTalk network, it features a multi-stage transistor SeaTalk interface, ensuring stable operation. Its opto-isolated input and differential output provide robust and interference-free data transfer, making it an essential tool for seamless marine navigation integration.
