Serial Connections for Dummies

[N316RV]

I have searched the forum and found part of my answer here and some there, but I'm still unsure of exactly how to connect my serial connections. Below is my equipment list followed by serial connections and what I understand that the connection will do. I would appreciate a review by someone familiar with this.
Two 7” Skyviews - serial connections to both panels
Dynon SV-GPS-250
Garmin 430W Com/ GPS
Garmin SL40 Comm
Garmin 240 Audio Panel
Garmin 327 Transponder
Garmin 496
ACK 406 ELT
Zaon XRX

Skyview Serial Connections
Serial #1 Tx – connect to GTX327 pin 19, Rx #1 (alt encoder information)
Serial #1 Rx– connect to GTX327 pin 20, Tx #1 and 430W Rx1 – pin 57 (transponder status on Skyview screen, alt encoder info to 430W)
Serial #2 Tx - connect to ACK ELT Rx (GPS location information to ELT)
Serial #2 Rx – connect to Zaon Tx and 496 Rx (Zaon traffic info to Skyview screen and display on 496)
Serial #3 Tx -
Serial #3 Rx –
Serial #4 Tx –
Serial #4 Rx –
Serial #5 Tx – connect to SV-GPS-250 Rx (not sure what it does, but manual says to connect)
Serial #5 Rx – connect to SV-GPS-250 Tx (GPS location info and status info to Skyview screen)
Serial connection – NOT connected to Skyview
Connect SL40 Rx to 496 Tx (496 transfers SL-40 frequencies)
Connect 430W Tx1 (pin 56) to SV-ARINC-429 Rx (pin 3) – (provides remaining 430W data to Skyview)

Have I missed any beneficial connections? Please feel free to correct any errors.

Thanks
Alan

may I suggest you join the Yahoo Experimental Avionics forum - it's better suited to a 'how to' situation

You could also connect the GPS496 TX to Skyview RX for a third GPS device. It will transmit VHF to the SL40 and NMEA to Skyview on the same TX wire.
