NEED, OR NOT, ARINC 429

[N125YX]

With the skyview system, gps 250 and Dynon servos, and the SV-270 Nav software will I have GPS steering, or do I still need a 429 interface?

The Dynon 429 Arinc converter is just that, a converter to enable the Dynon to use Arinc  however if you just want Gps 'tracking' ie Direct To or following a flight plan (overfly waypoint and then turns to next track) then use the serial data. If turn anticipation (GPSS) is wanted you will need Arinc out of the 250.

Since you are using Dynon's autopilot, the autopilot will fly-by the turns based on your flight plan in the SV-MAP-270 navigation software (SkyView's own mapping capability), even without GPSS from an external ARINC-connected device. You don't need the converter.

The ARINC-429 converter is ONLY used when you are connecting the SkyView to an external, certified GPS like a Garmin 430 or the new GTN navigators. GPSS, which is a set of commands that those units can send over ARINC to have much the same effect as SkyView's built-in capability, is one of the things that the SV-ARINC-429 module enables. But more generally , the SV-ARINC-429 enables complete communication with the Garmin GTN and 430/530 series products. If you have one of those, you want the ARINC module. If you don't, as you've described in your configuration, you won't need the ARINC module.
