Wow, John, that's the best solution I've seen yet. And very simple. That's the way I'm gonna do mine for both the D-180 and the D-100.

Question GEE

From what I can discern, I'll have to learn a LOT about computers, etc., in order to be able to keep up to date, never mind just get my Dynon running!! This appears to be an 'educational process' that I don't look forward to. This is disappointing to me - I don't have the skills to even begin to understand most of the 'Dynon talk'.

Default Why have the middleman?

That is a such a sensible idea, John. But you got me thinking. Why not elininate the D sub plug and attach the data wires from the dynon direct to a USB panel mounted socket? I reckon the socket would not be out of place on the front of the panel, below the intercom buttons

Rod - I considered that idea, but went for the simpler approach because:

The connector on the front panel would be more obvious - might have a problem at certification time.

The serial to USB converter would have to be permanently installed behind the panel.

I would have to find and order a USB pass-through panel-mount connector, while the original 9 pin D-sub was adaptable to use as a panel mount.

John, thanks for your thoughts. I didnt know there was a converter circuit in the adaptor plug. You probably have reached the best compromise
