Im getting tx incrmenting but not the rx....
I have an issue i am hoping to get some feedback or a little help on.
I have a dynon 7" sv hooked to a vp-x sport. I am having an issue getting them to communicate. Specifically the tx rx function.
There are 5 sets of serial wires each with a tx and rx. The tx from one device hooks to the rx of the other device, pretty simple. I have dedicate the serial set 1 to the vp-x skipped sets 2 & 3 for now and used 4 for the xsponder and 5 for the gps.
In the dynon local display setup screen i have assigned the serial ports as outlined above. The gps is incrementing on the rx line and establishes a fix. The transponder (no antenna hooked up yet) is incrementing the tx line only, nothing on the rx. Im not sure if thats normal without an antenna, but most troubling is the vp-x. Using serial wire set "1" with tx hooked to rx and rx to tx. The setup page for the vpx serial connection only shows tx incrementing. Rx stays at zero.
I figured i had made a mistake and wired them up tx to tx and verified the wiring, ports and double checked both manuals as well as checking the ground and found it to be correct. I removed the wires from the connecters and reinserted them verifying they were seated correctly.
I contacted Vertical Power and they suggested i "ring out my wiring". So i repeated all of the above verifications again with the same results.
I thought that maybe it was that set of serial lines for whatever reason so i wired up the tx and rx for serial lines "2" and of course verified that all the pins were right and tx was to rx and so on with exactly the same results.
At this point im pretty sure that either the Dynon or vpx hardware or software may be the issue. Im very willing to try anything that can be tried to identify the exact issue.
All updates and lic keys have been applied with exception to the Dynon 5.0 release. In the network auto-detect feature all attached modules have been found with the exception of the servos. The servos have to be powered to be updated and found on the network but are wired to receive power and be switched through the vpx.
I had considered that maybe i was having issue getting any/all devices to increment on the rx side but the gps on serial set "5" is incrementing and providing a fix on the map. So far everything works as it should with the exception of the communication between the Dynon and vpx (huge part of the total picture) evidenced by the big red x over the vpx page on the engine page and the lack of incrementation on the rx side of the serial lines.
Any help from Dynon, Vertical Power or the VAF member base os appreciated greatly.
