Thinking about a GNS-480/SL70R/Navworx 600B installation?. Trying to plan the data connections. Not getting as much help as I hoped from the installation manuals.
I know others have been here?.What am I missing?
It looks to me that if I implement the two RS-232 lines, one in each direction between the SL-70R and the ?480, on the specified IO 6 I will be almost finished.
Reading the documentation further, it looks like if I connect a parallel gray code altitude input to the transponder, it will make its way to the ?480 meeting that box?s requirement for altitude in.
Is it further true that if instead of the parallel altitude input, I connect RS-232 altitude to input 8 on the 480 that somehow ALT will get to the SL-70R? That would be the only altitude input to the ?480 or the SL70R tpx and would be very convenient.
Relative to the 600B, I have had success in one installation connecting the 429 output set for 743A to the 600B for ADS-B position. (I will be using the other 429 output for GPSS). And of course I'll connect the clock.
What about altitude and squak for the 600B? That same installation got the squak from a transmon and altitude from another source (?). Is there some place in RS-232 land with the other boxes that I can get altitude and/or squak for the 600B directly?
I had thought of using the SSD-120 nano encoder with the parallel output hooked directly to the SL70 and the serial output connected to the 600B; then transon for squak.
Hoping this is an easy Q for you experts. Thanks in advance, Bill Hale
