My RV7A currently has the Dynon D100/120, TruTrak Vizion 385 Autopilot, and Garmin 296 GPSMAP (feeds Dynon and TruTrak via Serial interface). I’m adding the Dynon HS34 and Garmin GNS420W (GPSW and Comm only). Plan is to Run ARINC 429 from GNS420W to both V385 Autopilot and Dynon HS34. I could use some help with of a couple other features.
1. Can the HS34 also be connected to V385 Autopilot via “ARINC 429 A/B Out” to provide D100 Course and heading bug steering (similar to V385 with G5/Aspen EFIS)? If it does, then I’d use a DPDT switch to select between GNS420W and Dynon EFIS for my input into the V385 Autopilot.
2. Will I be able to use the Dynon D100 EFIS to select between the new GNC420W (ARINC) and my current Garmin 296 (Serial into D100)? Garmin 296 Serial fed would be backup if GNS420W is lost (as currently used).
3. Out of curiosity, Down the road I’m considering an upgrade to Skyview. Are my current TruTrak Servos compatible with Dynon Autopilot?
