Will the Skyview system remote Arinc 429 module have more I/O channels than the current 2 available via the HS34 in current systems?
The reason I ask is that the information available on the wiki and other forum posts seems to limit the current 429 input uses to just the Garmin range of 429 capable GPS units. Will Skyview be supporting other 429 labels and appropriate EHSI display fields for such things as DME and ADF (example labels could include 001, 002, 012, 251, 252 & 312 for DME and 162G & 032 for ADF). No WAAS for Australia!
Also what if a second 429 capable Garmin GPS/NAV/COM unit were selected for install over a separate serial GPS and say an SL30 as GPS2 and NAV/COM2.
If you haven't commited to the number of 429 channels yet, I think it would be useful and future proofing for more than just the two. Maybe your ethernet network could allow multiple 429 modules for expansion.
