| Began today with yet another run to the electronics store. The Antenna that comes with the AHRS from CrossBow is not |
|
| powered and OP recommends (AND Includes) one that they believe works much better which is powered. So I needed an SMA |
|
| connector to attach it to the AHRS. I works sporadically, I believe the problem is that I'm indoors and under a tile roof that |
|
| inpeeds reception. I can get GPS signals but can't get the lock on to the 3 stations to verify. That's why you see the Big X across |
|
| some of the windows. I checked out the Audio panel /intercom with pilot and co-pilot headsets, AOK. Also The SL30 |
|
| (NAV1/COM1) and the SL40 (COM2). they checked out just fine. I hooked up an antenna to COM1 and was able to receove |
|
| transmissions from inbound a/c to APC. Also verified the RS 232 interface between NAV/Com's and the EFIS's. Able to display |
|
| and change freq's from either the radios or the EFIS's. I haven't got the Engine Monitor to communicate. I don't know if it's |
|
| because I haven'e hooked up any probs yet or not. Sent a note off to OP for some clarification. I also don't know how to validate |
|
| the Autopilot RS 232 connect at this point. I've got a lot of little things to do with the panel, at this point I believe I'm going to turn |
|
| this back into a 'background'/'filler' set of tasks and try to move back to completing the airframe. It's cooled somewhat from the |
|
| Sumer high temps and I can get back into the garage now. |
