double check
I don't really understand the CAN bus wiring methods, perhaps I'm alone here.
Stein Air made my wiring diagram (thank goodness!) and the "ends"/"terminations" of the CAN bus are the GDU 460 (screen) and the GSA 28 (autopilot servo).
Update:The manual alludes to preferentially making the CAN terminations on the GAD 29, GSU 25,GEA 24, or the GSA 28. However the screen works just fine as a termination.
Anyway, I followed this thread and made a mock up. Here's the wiring diagram section:
Here's what the wiring looks like:
Obviously, I forgot to make a pin for the CAN bus termination (#48 pin), but is this the right idea? I used small solder sleeves for the node splices on the CAN bus, and big solder sleeves to carry the shield from the wire.
I'm not sure if I'm on the right track here, because I followed Derek's post and tied the two backbones together with a shield wire even though my diagram doesn't explicitly show that.
Anyway, is this the right way to do this? The point to point wiring was WAY easier!
Thanks
Chris
Update: Yup, thanks to Derek and Steve's earlier posts it is wired correctly. Except I should have used butt splices or heat shrink over a soldered joint to make the connection. Thanks for the help guys
