The software is sending a beep to the Raymarine devices (Seatalk alarm function). This helps to get a feedback regarding the recognition of of a pressed key. The LED on the PCB blinks in addition if keys are successfully recognised. This should also help with trouble shooting. It is also possible to connect an active 5 Volt buzzer to pin 20 (A2) and GND of the ProMicro.
Since version 1.1 it supports now also Auto and Standby remote control. You have to use a 6 button KeyFob or an additional 2 or 4 button remote for controling Auto/Standby function.
# Caution: Lighthouse III does not react on Seatalk Alarm
MFDs with Lighthose II will react on the Seatalk alarm function wit a short beep. Unfortunately Lighthouse III is ignoring this alarm. If you prefer to use Lighthouse III then please connect an additonal buzzer to pin 20 of the ProMicro.
Since version 1.1 it supports now also Auto and Standby remote control. You have to use a 6 button KeyFob or an additional 2 or 4 button remote for controling Auto/Standby function.
# Software
The Seatalk communication is a 9 bit serial protocol. This is not directly supported from Arduino. But I found a working 9 bit hardware serial implementation. For convenience, I have added the working source code here, because there are different versions available (in github and elsewhere).
