Thanks, Jonathan. Unfortunate but as expected. Appreciate your reply.

Thanks, Jonathan. Unfortunate but as expected. Appreciate your reply.
I was able to verify airborne recently that the GTN is not showing any wind data, quite probably due to the lack of TAS input. Is there an official means, beyond this forum, to request added...
Just installed a GTN650Xi into my dual-4500s system, it works swimmingly in initial ground & flight testing.
What messages are supported in the FADC1 output format? Specifically I'm wondering if...
No; the GTX345 (unless something's changed recently) does not have the option to output the GDL90 format that the 4500 accepts. I installed a GTX335 (1090ES Out-only), giving me the option to choose...
Bob, Rob, or others -- can anyone post their working EFIS and AP gain settings for use as a starting point? I recall there being another post in this thread with settings & suggestions when I last...
I've recently installed the ARINC module to allow the 4500s screen to command the autopilot (Vizion 385). I do not have an IFR navigator, so I just use the 4500 internal flightplan. I'm learning...
Will (or, can) the 4500s generate "traffic!" audio alerts from ADS-B targets?
Success! I fed the 4500 a generated GPS signal, and once it had a position, it is displaying traffic as expected. Thanks for your help testing the files and getting me going. I generated some...
Sitting on my desk it doesn't have a GPS signal connected, so it has the aircraft located at KRGK but annunciates "no gps". I can hook up a gps tonight and see if that allows it to display.
Shawn, thanks for testing those files. The traffic is appearing where it should on those screens. I'm also on S8.8.35-MV16, updated last week from the website -- I had been on 8.8.28 prior.
I...
I believe you can program the operation of the input in the setup menu. From the manual, for active = ungrounded, you'll want to pick "Normally Closed" as the input logic on whichever switched input...
If it helps, the attached is a log of serial data sent from the RS232 port of the Stratux. Serial comms aren't my area, but it appears to be formatted according to the GDL-90 spec when viewed with a...
I'm trying to feed ADS-B data to my 4500s as described on port 3, 115.2k. The source is a Stratux receiver, whose output format is supposed to be GDL-90 compliant. I get the green ADS-B tower count...
Are there any plans for an ADS-B receiver module that supports dual-band receive capability?
I've just learned that TIS-B and ADS-R services are not provided unless the aircraft is in radar...
Dynon recently announced a SW update that supports pushing received ADS-B traffic & wx via WiFi to Foreflight -- any plans to port that feature over into the AF-5xxx software with the Wifi dongle? ...
Aha, I had forgot that the CO Guardian had a relay output for the CO alarm. Nothing for the SpO2 sensor, but the CO is the important one ... I think this'll work, and gets basically everything into...
Shawn, sorry I missed your reply earlier. Thanks for taking a look.
My current setup -- I have a single AF-4500s with EFIS, Engine, and AOA boards.
Serial port setup as follows...
1 - VPX Pro...
Thanks Shawn. I just wasn't certain if the ADS-B data stream included position data or not. It's looking like the Navworx may be the easiest/most economical path for a 4500s system, but I'm out of...
Does the Navworx box (specifically the 600-EXP but I assume the data stream is the same as the 600-B) feed GPS data to the system via the serial port, or does it only send weather and traffic data? ...
In case anyone else is watching this space for additional info; I received today a note from Garmin support confirming that the GDL-90 protocol as it's been used in the past is NOT available from the...
Thanks, Shawn. Is the GDL 90 protocol expected to work with the AF4500 screens? It's been awhile since I was in the port setup menus.
I was able to get an install manual from Garmin and they...
Is anyone successfully using one of the new GTX 345 transponders as an ADS-B traffic/weather source with AFS displays (particularly the 4500 series)? I've asked the Garmin folks for an install...
I installed 8.8.23 this weekend, and all is well. Thanks!
Bob, I wonder if the problem with your VPX display could be related to the one I reported in late 2012 (AFS forum thread with link to my website w/screenshots). For me, the status indicators always...
I prewired my panel for the AF Pilot a couple years back, with the serial input to the AP head fed from the AF-GPS signal, according to the wiring plan I had at the time. (I have no IFR navigator,...
