Thanks Al: Very timely for me. I’ll have a GTN 650, a second big screen with AHARS and 1 G5, but otherwise looks about the same. Would you be agreeable to a couple questions via email? Thanks.

Default Rs232 to roll servo

I was wondering if the rs232 Needs to connected to the roll servo in addition to the canbus connection?

If you are using the GMC 305 or GMC 307 you must use the GSA 28 RS 232 (pins 7 & 8) as those two GMC 30X controllers only operate via RS 232. The GMC 507's main difference from the GMC 30X controllers is the addition of CAN Bus. So the G3X Touch installation manual specifies only the GMC 30X use the RS232 channels and strictly on the roll servo only. For the GMC 507 it specifies use the CAN Bus interface, and not the RS 232. To the pilot there are no control or feature differences between the CMC 307 and GMC 507, bu the 507 simplifies installation, especially when using a G5-centric system.

Could be a basic start for any RV..

I only had room for one GDU...

But its easy to wire in a second... For whats its worth (I agree with you here)

Full wiring details as well.. (Hate to waste the effort on just one RV)

May take me a few try to get the links right..

Al, you showed a very creative way to use this software for laying out your diagram. And thanks for sharing your work. I have reached this point in my build and if you don't mind, I'd use your's as a basis to design mine.
