We have a standard RS232 level converter inside the Blaze instrument. +-12V levels meet specification.

You need all the gp messages listed in the manual if you want the satellite position in the skyview and signal quality to be displayed on the GPS page. The GPRMC and GPGGA will be fine if you just want fuel range.

Just make sure you are using com port 2 to connect to your gps data source.

Please make sure that the baud rate in the EMS-1 comm menu is set to 57600.

You can connect the Blaze EMS-2 CAN directly to the Rotax912IS CAN. The 912is CAN interface can be connected to both the GEA24 and to the EMS-2.

Hi Steve, I had a look at the photos. Just a few things to check. 1) Please upgrade to the latest firmware (Version 2.16) 2) You are still transmitting the GPGSV message as the skyview and signal quality is still shown. 3) You can change the baud rate of the GPS receiver under the GPS setup. 4) I do...
