Ok folks need advice and guidance - I'm starting to get out of my depth.
Here is what has happened and where I am at:
Starting to reach wits end here and need to get this plane ready to fly.
Any help would be appreciated.

Here is what has happened and where I am at:
- New to me RV12 that displayed "ALTITUDE ENCODER FAILURE" during my transport home last month.
- The Stratus ESG had clearly seen better days - someone broke the locking mechanism - had that sent in and it was repaired, new display and new firmware.
- My D180 was giving me the EFIS NOT BUS MASTER and wasn't seeing any of the four devices in the plane (AP74, servos, etc.)
- Sent in to Dynon and the DSUB chip was replaced.
- Get everything back in and in the plane.
- Verified the Stratus has "Trim/Garmin 10" selected.
- Verified the D180 has Altitude Encoder set for "4" and "10"
- On boot the Stratus says "0 FEET" for a few seconds, goes away with dashes, and then throws "ALTITUDE INPUT ERROR"
- I call the Appareo folks who tell me "The Stratus cannot receive altitude from the D180." ??????
Starting to reach wits end here and need to get this plane ready to fly.
Any help would be appreciated.
