MGL2T2- Ray Allen T2/T3 servo emulator

The MGL2T2 connects a Ray Allen trim servo to an MGL EFIS as if it were a standard MGL servo. For well-behaved aircraft this means you can fly the AP using trim rather than directly driving the control surface with servo. Still in the early days of testing as pitch control on a mate's Tecnam Bravo (...

Re: Connectors/cable management for RDAC XG

I favour using the screw terminal 'chocolate blocks'- RDAC cabling terminated on one side sensors terminated on the other crimp ferrules on each wire end P clips holding the cable bunches secure before fanning out into the terminal strips Document the layout and life is much easier when you have to ...

This is what you want> https://www.michiganavionics.com/produc ... i-gateway/

Re: Fuel pressure

Re your fuel pressure- make sure you have the fuel pressure pull-up and pull-down switches set correctly for your fuel sensor.
Older automotive 'can' style resistive sensors- PU ON, PD OFF.
Newer 912 4-20mA style sensors- PU OFF, PD ON.
UMA style 0-5V active sensors- PU OFF, PD OFF.

Re: IEFIS Simulatior

The designed/simuator RDAC fuel level sliders don't work, but the fuel level system works fine on real hardware.
Just go for it, set up the level calibration in real life- it all works!
