Is there anyone out there displaying their Stratux ADS-B IN on their Garmin 660 or 560 that can give me some advice regarding baud rates, programming, pins connections, etc?
On another forum there was an old thread about someone feeding their Avidyne display with ADS-B IN info from the Stratux via rs232. Someone replied they were displaying the same info on the Garmin portables via rs232. The threads are very old so no further info but I'm sure someone here is doing it.
Looks like Tankerpilot and Edclee are doing something similar but you can see there are issues with Windows. I use a Mac but have an old Window 7 laptop I could use for this, with a little guidance.
I have this cable for the 660 and I'm going to buy the Stratux Serial Adapter.

I use the Stratux for Adsb in and power it through a usb plugged into my panel outlet. The Stratus also is hardwired to my two GRT EFIS’. Works great! Price was right.
Not mentioned is that the serial adapter sold on Amazon from the Stratux store https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N7RNFRJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 must be configured to work properly and the switches on the the unit must be set correctly. In order to do this, the configuration program must be used. The adapter is installed in a USB port on your computer and if using Windows, it must be windows 10. Fine print on the Sillabs.com site points one in the right direction.

and find instructions, but they only apply to windows 10 if you use windows.7 or older then you have to have other drivers other than the package mentioned in the post. You must download older drivers for the configuration program to run. I did that, configured the Amazon adapter properly and I now have ADSb going to my GRT EFIS at 115200 baud.
