Hello All
Hoping that you guys might be able to answer some queries I have around certain things not working well in my new G3X installation on my RV7 build:
ould you please assist me with a few questions relating to my G3X system installation:
- What is the best way to test the health of the Canbus network? When I view my system status under normal operations I am showing 0% loss across all the connected LRUs, however when I pushed out the latest 8.6 update to the system as each LRU was upgrading it was intermittently spiking up to 40-50% loss for a split second before dropping back to 0%. Some LRU updates failed and retried several times and in the end to get the GTR200 update applied I had to power off several other LRUs. Does this represent any issues?
- I am currently still working on my RV7 build and haven't yet attached the wings. As such I haven't connected my Roll servo into the G3X system. Currently the Pitch servo connected is being identified in the G3X as the Roll servo. How do I reassign this to the Pitch Servo? This is important as I have my Elevator Trim Servo connected via the Pitch Servo to the Vertical Power VP-X Sport and want to test the pitch servo functionality before I remove the tail for painting but cannot get this to operate as I assume the G3X thinks its the Roll servo with no trim servo attached.
- With the GTR200 powered on I have found that it is stuck constantly in RX mode with loud static noise in the headset. I have found that as soon as the antenna cable is removed from the aerial it stops RX and returns to normal, then as soon as the Aerial Cable is connected to the Antenna it starts RX again. Does this indicate an issue with the aerial cable?
- With the GA35 GPS antenna visible to the sky and connected to my GPS-20A module, I have checked the GPS Satellite screen on the G3X 460 and found that it can see approx 3 Satellites but only appears to get a solid signal from 1 of them and doesn't establish a GPS signal. What does this indiciate?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Jonathan
