Have a GPS175 and a Mini GA, can the GA get the course and glide from the 175 and drive the flight director?

The glideslope is only available from an ARINC 429 connection. You can connect one of our GRT ARINC 429 modules to a Mini-GA serial port to get the GPS175 ARINC-429 GPS localizer and glideslope data into the Mini-GA, and that will drive the flight director. The basic lateral course and cross track deviation is available on the serial connection, and that will drive the flight director roll indication, but there is no vertical/pitch guidance in the serial connection.
