Re: Freq flop com 1 button

Adam O'Connor of Michigan Avionics was kind enough to provide the following in direct response to my question: The source of ground for the switch does not matter. The other side of the switch must go to the "Ax" input pin. The "G" pins exist as a ground reference in case there isn't an easy way to ...

Re: Freq flop com 1 button

Just checking over my work (over a year later :oops: ) and I find I need to clarify just one thing from this old post: I followed the hand drawn diagram linked by Matt above. Rainier also says "Your switch would go from that input to ground. All you now need to do is select the input as "active low"...

OAT wiring - testing?

I have grafted on the wires of the supplied OAT sensor to the relevant wires of the iBox PWR connector. As I understand it, OAT green goes to iBox black on pin 4 and OAT red goes to iBox green (TMP) on pin 9. I have used solder sleeves, which are new to me But how to test my work? Should there be co...

CAN harness:- Continuous Vs Daisychain, Shielded Vs Twisted pair

I am planning to make my own custom CAN harness. I have a fairly full suite of MGL devices so I will have 6 devices on CAN 1 and 5 on CAN 2. I had been planning on a daisychain of individual 'links' using twisted pair, connected with small 2way Molex connectors and stubs to each device coming off th...

Re: Freq flop com 1 button

However what you can do very easily is connect say a 4K7 resistor (Value not hugely critical - anything from 2K2 to 10K should work) from the iBOX input to 12V. Your switch would go from that input to ground. All you now need to do is select the input as "active low" in the setup. The resistor will...

ECB D9

I am installing a string of 3 ECBs. I believe I am clear on most things except the wiring of the PWR+ pins on the D9 connectors The manual says "Note: Supply current for ECB will be taken either from the breaker input terminal or the supply pin 4 on the D9 connector depending on which voltage is the...

The manual says " Note: Supply current for the ECB will be taken either from the breaker input terminal or the supply pin 4 on the D9 connector depending on which voltage is the higher." Thi...
