Digital Yacht SeaTalk1 to NMEA Interface ZDIGSTN for Marine Data Conversion

SeaTalk1 to NMEA Interface

Digital Yacht's SeaTalk to NMEA (ISO) Converter is a small, but powerful interface that provides bi-directional conversion between a SeaTalk network and an NMEA 0183 network or device. Taking its power from the SeaTalk network, the ST-NMEA Converter features a full, multi-transistor SeaTalk 1 interface, an opto-isolated NMEA 0183 input and differential NMEA 0183 output that allows key navigational data to be reliably shared between the SeaTalk and NMEA0183 networks.

For developers and advanced users that want to access the raw SeaTalk data, the ST-NMEA converter can also be configured to work in a special raw data" mode ($STALK) which is gaining support in some Open Source projects.

The ST-NMEA (ISO) Converter is ideal for connection to one of Digital Yacht's wireless NMEA servers, allowing SeaTalk owners to go wireless and aUSB Version of the ST-NMEA Converteris also available for direct connection to a PC, Mac or even a Raspberry Pie embedded Linux system.

Features:

• Converts SeaTalk1 to NMEA data


• Powerful bi-directional converter also converts NMEA to SeaTalk for use with 3rdparty transducers and sensors


• Powered from the SeaTalk network easy red, black and yellow wire colour coding


• Features reliable multi-stage transistor SeaTalk interface


• Opto-isolated NMEA0183 input and differential NMEA0183 output


• Converts all of the key navigational data


• USB version (for PC MAC) also available


• USB variant can also be configured to operate in Raw Data mode ($STALK)

NMEA Version - Typical Connections:

• Connects direct to SeaTalk1 cabling using familiar red, black and yellow wiring


• Add the WLN10HS for wifiintegration to iPads and tablets


• Add the WLN20 (dual input NMEA to WiFi server) for AIS and SeaTalk to wifi systems

The Digital Yacht SeaTalk1 to NMEA Interface (Part Number: ZDIGSTN) is a compact yet highly capable device designed for seamless data exchange between SeaTalk and NMEA 0183 networks. This interface is essential for marine navigation systems, enabling reliable bidirectional communication of key navigational data. Powered directly from the SeaTalk network, the converter features a robust multi-transistor SeaTalk 1 interface, ensuring stable connections and data integrity. Its opto-isolated NMEA 0183 input and differential output provide protection against electrical noise, making it suitable for critical navigation applications. This versatility allows users to share data between legacy SeaTalk systems and modern NMEA 0183 devices, including transducers, sensors, and other marine electronics. The device can be configured to operate in a special raw data mode ($STALK), which is supported by several open source projects, providing advanced users and developers access to raw SeaTalk data streams. The ZDIGSTN also offers a USB version compatible with PCs, Macs, and embedded Linux systems like Raspberry Pi, broadening its application scope. It connects easily to existing SeaTalk cabling using familiar red, black, and yellow wiring, simplifying installation. Compatibility with Digital Yacht’s wireless NMEA servers like WLN10HS enables wireless integration with tablets and smartphones, while the WLN20 dual-input NMEA to WiFi server supports AIS and SeaTalk-to-WiFi configurations. This interface is ideal for marine enthusiasts, professional navigators, and developers seeking a reliable solution for integrating diverse navigation systems and expanding their vessel’s connectivity options.
