I want to know what data I can get from a Volvo Penta D2-55 engine from its J1939 interface. I have a J1939 to NMEA2K gateway and my electrician said he didn't see any NMEA2K packets coming from the gateway once it was connected to the engine.
I have dual Garmin GPSMAP 1x42 vsx MFDs and would like to display all possible data on the MFD, but don't know what I should expect.
has anyone done this? if so:
1. What did you get?
2. What did you use to get the J1939 data to your NMEA2K network?
thank you very much in advance.
