Skyview Autopilot System Electrical Installation Overview
Broken Line Detect resistor (4.7-5.3k Ohm)

My plan is to combine the grounds and switch them to control pilot or co-pilot.
The grounds will be combined for Hat (Skyview trim control), Trigger (PTT Skyiew), Thumb (Skyview Com Flip/Flop), SW3 (AP Disconnect), SW4 (Level).
Question
Since many if not all the control column grip switches share a common ground, what if any effect does the resistor have on the other switches and functions?

 

[Dynon]

The resistor goes between the terminals on your ap disconnect switch, not in series with the ground wire. Properly installed it won't mess with anything else.

I think I understand. Only the servo AP disconnect will sense the resistance.

Dynon,I plan on running all my co-pilot grounds from the co-pilot stick to a panel switch. With the switch open the controls on the co-pilot stick will be disabled. If I install a resistor on each switch how will the Skyview (alerts) respond if this switch is open and there is continuity to ground on the pilot's stick?
