I am planning my panel electrical wiring and I am not clear on the wiring of serial devices to the Skyview system. I have dual skyview displays and have apparently run out of serial ports. I have the following allocated:
Port 1 Rx and Tx - Transponder SV-XPNDR-261
Port 2 Rx and Tx - SV-ADSB-470
Port 3 Rx and Tx - VP-X
Port 4 Rx and Tx - Garmin SL-40
Port 5 Rx and Tx - SV-GPS-250
Both displays are wired to these devices in parallel.
Unfortunately I also have a Trutrak Gemini PFD on order and it needs GPS input also. Is there a way to connect the Gemini to this system without adding another GPS? Can I use another standalone SV-GPS-250 with serial ports wired directly to the Gemini? Or should I be looking at something like an Aera or the new iFly 520 as an independent GPS source?
