Garmin 18 5hz GPS receiver
evening all
I have bought a Garmin 18 5hz GPS receiver for a bit cheaper than ETB can supply one for...
I want to use it with my digidash pro
only problem is it doesnt have a DB-9 connector on it....
can anyone tell me what colour goes to what pin, I have downloaded the manual, but it seems to contradict itself.
in the table is says
1 yellow measurement pulse output
2 red v in
3 black ground
4 white transmit data
5 black ground
6 green recieve data
but in the diagram for a male DB-9 it seems to show
1 yellow measurement pulse output
2 red v in
3 black ground
4 white transmit data
5 black ground
6 green recieve data 1
pin 1 nothing terminated
pin 2 data out - green
pin 3 data in - white
pin 4 nothing terminated
pin 5 ground
can anyone help please
thanks Gavin

Have a look on the sailing forums. People integrate all their stuff all the time, which needs info like this.
Kindest Regards,

I did it to connect to a logger which only required the data out and ground connected.
As a caution most garmins can handle up to 30 volts in but not all if you are using the car to power it

ok.. maybe I am trying to over complicate it....
the digidash has a DB9 connector on it that must power the GPS receiver
if anyone has an ETB bought garmin GPS that they can open the DB9 connector and let me know the pin outs..

I contacted ETB direct...
and this is the reply I got
"You'll need to send it back because unfortunately it is not just the connector we add, we also re-program them.
For what its worth:-
Pin 2 - Green
Pin 3 - White
Pin5 - Black (Combined)
Pin 9 - Red
(Yellow not used)"
so looks like I will have to send it to ETB

Let us know how you get on. I've an ETB & would be interested with the outcome.
Just curious - why are you running a receiver rather than a speed sensor?

I am using the gps for data logging on track rather than for the speedo
I have dropped the antenna into ETB so will let you know......
