The trim sensor is just a potentiometer. It has three wires (not counting the trim motor wires). One side of the pot gets grounded (the Blue one), the other side of the pot (the Orange one) gets the +5 volt sensor power out of the D180 and the wiper of the pot (the Green one) goes to the GP input of the Dynon. You then need to calibrate the D180 to the pot and thats all there is too it.
Either you have a bad sensor or the wiring is wrong.
To test the sensor, connect an OHM meter across the Blue and Orange Wires with nothing else connected to the sensor. You should read the full resistance of the pot inside (I think it is 1K ohms but I can't remember, it will either be 1K, 5K or 10K)
If this test good, take the ohm meter and connect one side to the Green wire and one side to the Blue wire.
Then take a 9 volt battery and use it to cycle the trim motor back and forth by connecting it to the two White wires. You can flip the polarity to get the trim motor to reverse.
As you cycle the trim motor back and forth, you should see the resistance between the Blue and Green wires change from max (whatever you got for the resistance above...either 1K, 5K or 10K) to zero.
If these ohm test work out, then the problem is in the wiring. If they don't, it is a bad sensor.
There is a remote chance that your Dynon is either not putting out 5 volts or the GP input you are using is bad. I doubt this is the case since the 5 volt supply is current limited and the GP inputs are pretty robust.
Make sure that if all the wiring and ohm test check out that you have the correct GP input selected for your trim indication and that you have properly calibrated the input.
