I'm just beginning to look at adding a certified WAAS GPS (e.g. GPS 400W, GTN 625) to my Skyview system so these will be some pretty basic questions. I'm just beginning the learning process.
Looking at it from a 10,000' level, it seems like it involves just adding the GPS unit, an appropriate GPS antenna (defined by the GPS unit), connecting the GPS to a Dynon ARINC 429 unit (I think that connection is just two shielded twisted pairs and one single wire serial), connecting the ARINC unit to Skyview with a Skyview network cable then configuring the Skyview ARINC, RS-232 and transponder pages?
Is that all there is? This seems to be pretty straight forward because Skyview and its network really handles the integration.
The GPS has outputs that can go to a transponder, OBS indicator, audio panel, etc. but I think those are not used with an EFIS and, in particular, Skyview has all the data it needs from the ARINC and will transmit the appropriate data to the SV-XPNDR-261 I currently have? Will that satisfy all the ADS-B 2020 requirements?
Some specific questions:
The Skyview ARINC Installation section indicates that SV-ARINC-429 pin 3 (Serial RX) should be connected to GTN pin 8 (RS-232 Out 1) but doesn't indicate what format that GTN RS-232 should be configured to?
The Skyview ARINC Installation section also contains info for integrating with the Garmin 430/530 with instructions "If Dynon’s SV-XPNDR-261 is being used for ADS-B Out capability: Another 430/530 serial output should be set to “ADS-B+ OUT” format". I don't see a GNS 430W RS-232 configuration that provides a “ADS-B+ OUT” format" choice?
