Default Astronics PPS with Garmin G3X

Has anyone successfully connected the PPS and G3X? What I?m really looking for is if anyone has connected the SHUNT1 and SHUNT2 from the GEA to the PPS pins for BAT AMPS and ALT AMPS.

I?m striking out with getting help from anyone. The readings I?m getting dont seem right. There is a scale factor in the G3X configurator screens, but no one seems to know what values are supposed to be used.

I?m really regretting my decision to use this device. Should have just gone old school and put the shunts in.

Thanks
Charlie

Charlie, Have you tried reaching out to Chad at VP?

I have, Marc. Seems like they were talking with the Garmin folks yesterday. Still not resolved though. What?s being read from the PPS as far as current draw goes for my main battery is roughly double what the VPX is seeing. Either the scaling factor for the G3X is incorrect, or what the PPS is putting out is wrong.
