preparing order…

is the video in feature available or what do I have to take care of to get it?

thanks for the hint to the radio manual, was looking for the can protocol document only.
But it does not work. Sending ID 0x440 messages 0, 1 and 2 with some status data, but the radio on the screen stays crossed out in red.

The same as transponder, can't get this to work either.

I am setting up some CAN interfaces for all devices in my plane. A connector for Rotax 914 TCU data is working just fine for a while now. Now there is an interface for my transponder in the making, which will be connecting to an air control display, controlling a VT01 Transponder and an Aircom Radio...

don't forget the terminating resistors at both ends of the bus.

120 Ohm from CAN+ to CAN-

Stubs no longer than 30cm/1ft

it absolutely is.

Especially when you see the Discovery light was just working perfect in all those things the MX1 is troublesome.

There is a calibration for the VSI in the "Internal sensor setup menu". It should be quite accurate if this is set to 100%. If you set it to 50% for example it will halve the rate shown. This still does not have any impact to the VSI. VSI is about factor 2 to high. VSI in TE or not, factor changed ...

I have an MX1 in my WT9 dynamic. The Horizon is not really stable. Setting bank angle to zero does not give a really horizontal horizon. Additionally sometimes ist changes over time so I have to reset the bank angle. In general there should be no setting of the bank angle necessary, the device is mo...

good it worked.
i had both on the same card. With the first reboot it updated the bootloader.
The second boot then detected the bootloader is the same and flashed the firmware.
I do it with just holding the button until the firmware is flashing.

anyways, good it works.

you have to do two cycles of firmware upgrades. With the first boot, the bootloader is renewed. With the second the firmware.

Good to know. Could not find anything like that for vector maps in the manual.

If I would have known that, I may have decided different for the selection of the EFIS.
