Tonight, I had a little mess around with wiring for the SBC to the EFIS 1. I reconfigured the serial connection from the SL-30 Nav/Comm to go to Serial 2 to the EFIS. A long time ago, I had the serial port upgrade installed. Then I connected the RS422 ‘A’ wire to the input for Serial 1 on the EFIS. Nothing. Hmmm… Well, the notes do say use A or B. I tried ‘B’, and hey presto, it worked! Woo hoo! I threw some gauges onto the display to see if it was working as expected, and it sure was. I need to configure this display so it’s all a bit neater and logical.
