Integration av enheter

Follow these simple steps to connect your PilotAware FX to a compatible device over RS232. This allows the FX to send and receive data (such as traffic information) from devices like FLARM, enhancing your situational awareness.

Steg-för-steg

1. ‍Identify the FX Output Port:
   ‍‍
   • Locate the Output Port on the FX device. This is where you will connect your RS232-compatible cable, such as an RJ12 or RJ45 cable.
   • This port uses an RJ45 connector with specific pin assignments for power, data transmission, and ground. Familiarize yourself with the pinout to ensure correct connections.

‍

1. Review the Pinout:
   ‍‍
   • Pin 1 and Pin 2 (+9 to +26 VDC from FLARM): These pins accept power from a connected FLARM device, supplying power to the FX.
   • Pin 3 (3V DC from FX): Provides a 3V output from the FX device.
   • Pin 4 (Ground): Main ground pin to stabilize the connection.
   • Pin 5 (TX - Transmit Data): Transmits data from the FX device to the connected device.
   • Pin 6 (RX - Receive Data): Receives data from the connected device to the FX device.
   • Pin 7 and Pin 8 (Ground): Additional grounding pins to ensure a stable connection.
2. Connect the Cable:
   ‍
   • Insert an RS232-compatible RJ12 or RJ45 cable into the FX’s output port.
   • Make sure that the cable’s pin configuration matches the FX pinout for proper alignment with power, TX, RX, and ground pins.
3. Configure RS232 Settings on FX:
   ‍
   • Connect your display device (e.g., tablet) to the FX WiFi network and access the FX Dashboard at 192.168.1.1.
   • Navigate to the Settings Page to configure RS232 settings.
   • Choose the protocol that matches your connected device:
     ‍
     • FLARM: If you’re using a FLARM device.
     • TRIG: For specific transponder compatibility.
     • Automatic: General setting for most RS232-compatible devices.
   • Set the Baud Rate (if necessary)
     ‍‍
     • The default baud rate is Automatic, but if your connected device requires a specific baud rate, select it in the settings.

För att komma åt funktioner eller inställningar på din PilotAware FX-enhet måste du först ansluta din displayenhet (t.ex. en iPad) till FX WiFi-nätverk. Så här gör du:

1. ‍ Slåpå din FX-enhet: Kontrollera att PilotAware FX är påslagen och att lysdioderna på framsidan lyser.
   ‍
2. Anslut till FX WiFi:

• Gå till WiFi-inställningar på din displayenhet.
  ‍
• Välj FX WiFi-nätverk. Ange lösenordet om du uppmanas att göra det (standard: 12345678).
  ‍
• När du är ansluten öppnar du en webbläsare och skriver 192.168.1.1 för att komma till FX Dashboard.

Tips: När du har anslutit rekommenderar vi att du uppdaterar lösenordet för Wi-Fi-åtkomst på sidan Inställningar. Om du har glömt ditt lösenord kan du återställa det genom att följa den här guiden. FX tillåter maximalt 4 klienter åt gången.

När en anslutning till FX har upprättats via WIFi kan FX överföra trafikdata, GPS-data och webbsidor till den anslutna enheten.

Step 1: Prepare the FX Pinout
‍

Refer to the FX pinout diagram:

1. Ground Pin: Choose any of the ground pins (4, 7, or 8).
2. Data Transmit Pin: Use pin 5, which transmits the serial data to the Dynon SkyView.

Step 2: Solder Ground Wire

Solder the ground wire from the FX device to any ground pin on the D37 connector block of the Dynon SkyView. Possible options include:

• Pin 17: USB Ground (Black)
• Pin 21: Ground (Black)
• Pin 22: Ground (Black)
• Pin 23: Ground (Black)
• Pin 24: Ground (Black)

Pin options have been taken from the "Skyview System Installation Guide - Revision AQ.

Step 3: Solder Data Transmit Wire

Solder the data transmit wire from the FX device to any spare Serial RX pin on the D37 connector block of the Dynon SkyView. Possible options include:

• Pin 3: Serial Port 1 RX (Brown with Violet stripe)
• Pin 7: Serial Port 3 RX (Green with Violet stripe)
• Pin 9: Serial Port 4 RX (Blue with Violet stripe)

For this example, let’s choose Serial Port 3 RX (Pin 7).

Step 4: Configure FX Settings

1. Power on the FX device.
2. Connect to the FX device via Wi-Fi and navigate to the FX interface at 192.168.1.1.
3. Go to the Settings page.
4. Under Advanced Settings, set the RS232 protocol to “Automatic”.
5. Select an appropriate baud rate for the Dynon SkyView. The highest rate, 115200, is recommended for maximum data throughput.

‍

Step 5: Configure Dynon SkyView Settings

1. On the Dynon SkyView display, navigate to its settings.
2. Configure the selected serial input (in this example, Serial Port 3) to receive FLARM traffic.
3. Set the baud rate to match the FX device setting (115200).

Step 6: Verify Data Transmission

1. Ensure the FX device has a GPS lock.
2. Once locked, the FX device will start streaming NMEA data to the Dynon SkyView serial port.
3. Verify that the valid messages are being received on the Dynon SkyView.
4. The traffic data from the FX device should overlay on the Dynon SkyView map.

Slutsats

By following these steps, you will successfully connect your FX device to the Dynon SkyView system, allowing seamless data transmission and traffic overlay on your display.
