    display broken?

    I can barely read my af-pilot lcd display. It's been that way since I got the thing last year. If I look closely, I can see the letters and numbers, but it looks like it's in "night mode" or some...

    So a reasonable config with a switch would be to wire the ap->afs line directly and to use a 3pdt switch to flip between the 430 gps+arinc lines and the afs gps+arinc lines?

    Btw, I do find this...

    Hmm. I'm curious about the change from prior drawings with the use of both rx/tx on the serial line. I have a 3-pole switch that allows me to select either a 430W or AF5000 as the ap source. ...

    gps out to autopilot?

    All the A/P wiring diagrams show 430W pin 56 going to trutrak/afpilot. I have a gps puck connected to my af5000. It would be nice if the AF5000 could send the serial GPS signal to the autopilot...

    1) Picked up a small, cigarette-pack sized 5-port switch from Fry's for $20. The power supply was rated at 5V, 1A output.
    2) Also from Fry's, I picked up this mini USB charger for $7. It is...

    I used a byonic puck on my secondary af3500 as the only gps input to that device. I did not have synthetic vision. It worked great.

    I need an ethernet switch because of 2 EFIS and WX. The power supply that comes with the switch is rated output at 5v, 1a.

    Beeps!

    There are not many things to knock about my AF3500. I love the darn thing and have over 200 hours on it now. One big mystery to me is the fact that it likes to beep periodically without anything...

    My oil temp probe is in the usual spot on the oil filter adapter. The oil filter adapter is grounded via the bolts that attach it to the case, so the gasket is irrelevant. Despite that fact, I...

    I have a 60A plane power alt on the shunt as ALT1.
    I have a 8A B&C SD-8 on the hall effect as ALT2.

    I never calibrated these. The ALT1 has always seemed to display a reasonable value.

    Please 'splain what causes "AHRS OFFLINE" message across my display, and what makes it go away.

    I saw this while running the panel this evening in a cold hangar (~35F). Engine not running.

    The problem was my wiring. Had SER1 GND and SER1 TX swapped on the EFIS Main. The GNS430W is no longer complaining about no data on SER1 in. Interesting that it passed the SER1 diag test.
  21. No dice

    Nothing has fixed my problem. Everything is properly grounded at this point - double and triple checked. I guess I need to try a two-wire probe. Starting to suspect a flawed design of the AF3500...

    AFAIK, you don't pick GPSS or GPSV. You just pick nav mode (versus HDG mode) on the AP itself. Whether it is GPSS or GPSV is something the AP and 430W work out.

    So it goes something like this:...
