Hi
Just wondering if anyone has installed CAN-based switches such as https://www.ecumaster.com/products/can-keyboards/ to talk to the MGL ECB rather than control via MGL EFIS?
cheers

Re: CAN-based switches
These keyboards do not understand the CAN protocol used by the ECB. They seem to be made for some other purpose.
CAN protocol is like an alphabet. You have several different kinds but even if you can agree two devices on using the same alphabet they will speak different languages. So the ECB talkes a language specifically made for it.
