Got the plane out of the garage. A lot of people were looking in a very strange way when driving by.

Some posts back, I connected the GPS wiring to serial input 5 of the Dynon HDX D37 connector. I got the display visible but no location was detected as I was inside. Now I moved the plane in the open on my driveway.

When firing up the Dynon, after some moments, my location got shown on the moving map ! Very cool !

Next I connected the SV-NET cable from the ADAHRS which is located on the F707 rear bulkhead to the SV-NET-HUB block on F728A bellcranck channel. Went into the network configuration in the setup menu of HDX and detected devices.

Eh voila... in the network configuration setup screen I see my knob panel, ap-panel, the display itself and... yes, the ADAHRS module...

 When coming back to the main screen, we now have a PFD. ADAHRS is working.

 

It's always a nice view when the plane is outside of the garage. It also gives a better impression of the size of it.

I checked the satellite reception and being surrounded by a house behind it and a big wall on the left, the reception turns out rather ok. There will be more green bars when it's standing in the open on an airport.
In the image you can clearly see that the satellites with poor reception are behind the plane.
