We're well along in the installation of a second G3X touch screen and autopilot, but the interesting phenomenon is that the system doesn't see the pitch servo and has errors talking to the roll servo. The CAN bus is okay, voltage and ground are okay at the pitch servo, CWS is disabled on the configuration page and the wire to the pitch servo is not grounded. When the pitch servo is unplugged and replaced by the appropriate plug, everything works. Hypothesis: the pitch servo is bad.
Plan A, and it's really ugly, is to physically swap the two servos and see if the problem follows the servo.
Plan B, in case anybody needs an excuse to fly to Savannah, is to plug in a different Garmin servo (not connect it to the elevator linkage and not install it, just plug it in electrically) and see if the rest of the system works with that servo.
And of course, we're trying to get this done for a mid-week departure to Oshkosh.
Anybody want to fly to Savannah?
thanks
