Anyone have a wiring diagram for where they installed with a Dynon 180...



2 RAC trim servos, 1 RAC Flap Sensor, 1 five button RAC grip?

Gig,



Do you have the Dynon D-180 install guide?  Trim and flap instructions are on page 3-16 of the latest version.  It says to send the RAC orange wire to Dynon's 5VDC excitation, pin 18.  The RAC blue wire to ground and the RAC green wire to the general purpose input of your choice.  It works fine in my installation.  



What you cannot do is use the RAC indicator AND send the same indication to the Dynon.  The RAC indicator puts out a 6VDC signal, so it over saturates the Dynon.  The general purpose inputs coughs at over 5VDC of incoming voltage.  Believe me, I tried it and found out first hand!



Good Luck,

I found that and understand it but where my confusion really kicks in is the wiring that goes through the RAC grip.

I may be confused about what you are asking for but the wiring between the

RAC grip and RAC trim actuators is in the RAC docs and doesn't go through

the Dynon. The position indication does but the two systems are electrically

isolated even though linked mechanically.

The grip is really what is bothering me. Because the way the buttons, including the PTT button share a ground and a DC power supply.



I asked for a diagram of the whole thing to deal with that issue and then to check that I was reading the Dynon manual correctly.

Gig,



Sharing a ground with the other switches in the grip is not a problem, your PTT will work just fine.  The ground you share with the PTT is always ground and never sees voltage.
