NMEA 0183 devices can receive AIS data when connected to the M1 I/O (Sensors GPIO / NMEA 0183) expansion port.
- The NMEA sentences supported
The NMEA Baud rate can be changed via the Cortex Onboard App or from the H1 handset.
Cortex Onboard App:
> Menu (
) > Settings > Device Settings
> Networks > NMEA 0183... > Baud rate (select)
Cortex handset:
> Main Menu (). Touch on the wrench icon (

HINT - AIS output requires a minimum of 38400 Baud rate.
Note - When connecting the M1 to NMEA 0183 devices, connect 0183 Common (Black) to the vessel's negative bus. This is to ensure a satisfactory grounding as the NMEA 0183 network of the M1 is isolated.
