Hi,
I saw the day coming and thought I'd be able to configure my way out of this, but I realize now that I'm out of serial ports.
1 - SL30 Nav/Com
2 - SV-ADSB-470
3 - SV-XPNDR-261
4 - Garmin 300XL (pressure altitude data)
5 - SV-GPS-2020
I want one more so I can make use of the wonderful data stream SV puts out. I've been contemplating an arduino device to display some additional info using this. But, looks like I'm out of luck.
Dynon - any ideas for adding serial outputs? Here's a couple I've had:
Write a driver for a USB-to-serial device like this one: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/dynex-1...ffcode=pg199014&ksdevice=c&lsft=ref:212,loc:2.
Looks like you have a few pins available on the SV port, turn a few of those into software TTL-level serial outputs. Clever folks can either use these to directly couple to arduino-like devices or put on a RS-232 level shifter.
Make a network device that has additional serial ports.
To be honest, you guys have painted yourselves into this corner by relying on RS-232 connections instead of network ones for the devices you make (GPS, ADSB, XPNDR), those should be network connections and leave RS-232 for third-party stuff.
Any, I'd love to see a solution to allow a few more ports.
Thanks.
Geoff
