Hello!
I am all but convinced based on inferences from very sparse other online sources that the Seatalk 1 protocol allows for devices to be wired in parallel. Is this correct?
I am trying to wire up my Raymarine ST4000 (original black one, not the gray ST4000+), a Raymarine ST60+ TriData, and the Raymarine wireless SmartController. I have read that the ST4000 uses a pre-SeaTalk1 protocol but is still compatible with SeaTalk1, although you have to buy a SeaTalk1 cable, cut off the connector and crimp tab connectors on to use it. The SmartConnector has a wireless base station with a single SeaTalk1 cable and the Remote has a single SeaTalk1 cable to charge the internal battery. I bought a Raymarine Three-way splitter (D244), and plan to splice the ST4000 to the SmartController base station in parallel, then connect that cable, the smart connector charge cable, and the ST60 output cable to the D244 three-way splitter.
Am I crazy? Will this work?
Thanks!
