Re: Stratux wired connection - I must be doing something wrong...

That was it! As purchased i9t was set for the other type of serial output and was using the other wire connections, kind of per the sheet that came with the gadget.

Changed it all and - ADSB works and valid frames received!

Thanks.

Re: Stratux wired connection - I must be doing something wrong...

That is exactly where I am now. HXR 7 serial port IN - 38400 from STRATUX (matching baud) and it shows an increasing data count being received in the HXR. USB ADSB is OFF. HXR 7 serial port OUT is OFF. Diagnostics page shows zero valid frames. Stratux has no battery, wired to ships power through the...

Stratux wired connection - I must be doing something wrong...

I have an HXR running the latest software. I have a STRATUX with GPS (no ADHRS) and a wired serial output board. The STRATUX is also updated to the latest software version. It recognizes the serial output board. Set at 38400. The board is this one: https://www.amazon.com/Stratux-Serial-Adapter-RS-23...

Re: Garmin GDL-39 & Garmin 796 to HXR

Thanks for the clear response! I have an available (free) Stratus 2 receiver. Any way to get that data stream into the GRT HXR? Some wifi-to-serial conversion? Could be almost as expensive as building a Stratux, and/or more complicated, I don't really want to be a pioneer in using obsolete equipment...

The GDL 39 s...
