Gooday All,
I have installed a snap action micro switch to a custom bracket attached to my MATCO parking brake. I was wondering if anyone knew what what the pin out would be from the switch to whichever Garmin LRU pin to display a "parking brake" msg on the GDU460/PFD when the switch is depressed?

I have a similar switch for the canopy latch, however that one required a custom file from vans be uploaded to the EFIS.

Please see the referenced drawing and let me know if this is possible: https://ibb.co/8bxQzRr

Thanks much
 
Any unused discrete would be fine. Just label it as Parking Brake.

I assume that the file for the canopy setup is to customize the alert to be active only over 1700 RPM.

This would be a handy feature to have configurable in the G3X in general.

Without hijacking this thread… Is there any other way of suppressing my door alerts for the RV10 below a certain RPM? I’ve set them all up as discretes with relays etc so they fail safe but I can’t see this as a discrete config option without using the specific “door open” config.

Cheers

Any of the discretes on GEA24 will work. Label anything you want. Not sure it's possible to make them RPM sensitive. Would love to hear if possible. I really have not found that needed since on the ground taxiing messages I can ignore. Before departure they need to be out. Not sure a custom file is needed. I did not have one.
