QK-A032-AIS – no AIS data?—-solved by changing baud rate

Hi,

Recently purchased a QK-A032-AIS and installed it yesterday. The device is working: using Navionics and OpenCPN app I see it connects properly (right IP etc.) However I don’t get the AIS data from my EasyAIS device.

Some facts:

– The EasyAIS is blinking, apparently receiving both Channel A and B data. So I must assume this is ok and it sends the data down the line.

– The A032 is sending data through WiFi and the mobile is properly receiving it, because I can use the NMEA 2000 GPS data on OpenCPN.

– The A032 blinks with two leds: the red one and the next green one. So this indicates that no 0183 data is received (from the EasyAIS).

– The connection with the Easy AIS is as follows:

Easy AIS <> A032

green (NMEA-out (-), AIS-Data) <> black (NMEA in-)

white (NMEA-out (+), AIS-Data) <> grey (NMEA in+)

– I had to extend the black and grey lines (used a soldering sleeve). So cannot imagine this connection is the problem. But will test next time I get to the boat this to exclude it – i hope

– The Navionics app shows a correct connection (IP 192.168.1.100, port 2000, TCP) However, it shows the Quark-elec as a A026, with sonar data but without the expected AIS data.

– I used the default configuration of the A032.

Please advise…
