I was able to put the GX60 in the simulator mode and get it to drive the autopilot (sorta). I pressed the OBS button and entered in the course - nothing happened when I moved the bugs or the card and didn't know what to do after that so I tried a GPS flightplan course. The simulator mode moves the flight path so quickly that the roll signals were very short in duration. They were correct relative to the flight plan changes programmed, so I think that part is OK.
Then the GPSS interface unit quit completely.
Here's what I'm thinking:
I was able to get the unit to work with both the Century NSD1000 and the GX60 at different times through the GPSS box so I'm pretty confident that I don't have any major wiring issues.
I'll do continuity checks on the interfaces to make sure that the wiring is correct.
At a minimum, I need to send in the GPSS interface for a bench-check
Your opinions, please:
The OBS thing - how's that work? What's it used for? I'm not instrument rated (but am setting this plane up for the training) so forgive my lack of training based ignorance.
Thanks,
Ralph
