Fuel data *to* 430W?

[swatson999]

Is there any way, or any plans to provide the capbility, to send fuel data to a Garmin 430W?  Right now, those pages on the 430 are essentially devoid of info...might be nice to have them (but not really required, since it's all on the SV).  Similarly with air data (so the DA and Winds Aloft functions would work)?

Again...it's all on the SV, but I really like having systems that are as complete as possible .

(alternatively, the ability to turn OFF those screens would be nice, but Garmin doesn't provide that option).

If you use ARINC, we already send air data and the 430W can calculate winds. It's not possible to send this data over RS-232.

No plans on sending fuel data, which would use up an additional RS-232 serial port on both the Dynon and the 430, and would require you to enter fuel data in the 430W every time you filled up with fuel. The SkyView is a far superior fuel computer.

Ah, gotcha...will check the air data stuff next time I fly! Understand about the fuel data, and yes, the SV is *much* better than the 430 when it comes to fuel management!

Thanks...and why are you answering questions on a weekend?
