SP-6 Power

Post by royerm »

I'm at home and before installing the SP-6 in the aircraft I wanted to check the calibration interface program.
I've connected the +12 to pin 6 and ground to pin 1.

Should the LED comes ON???? Mine isn't.

Yes, the LED should start flashing if you only connect power. It needs about 7V minimum.
Make sure it's DC.

Leave the CAN bus unconnected as an invalid signal level may prevent the SP-6 from starting up as it is waiting for an opportunity to join the bus which may never come...

Thx for response...

I'm using DB9 with PCB board to connect wire instead of the welded pin type,
Long story short the numbers order number on the board were wrongly identified.
As Soon that I used the right order and applied the voltage I got the blinking LED. :oops:
