Originally, I was going to go with a pair of Grand Rapids HX screens with a traditional radio stack. But when the HXr came out that supported remote avionics and the ability to use a tablet as a secondary display, I decided to opt for that



But recently I discovered that a single screen wouldn't work because each device (EIS, 2 Coms, 1 Nav, Transponder, Audio Panel, GPS, VPX, 2 AHRS) requires a serial port and there are only 8 ports per screen.



I've been told that I need to add a second HXr to get more ports. 



Another builder has told me that I can use a 4-port RS-232 serial-to-USB adapter which would connect to the USB port on the HXr. 



I've got an email in to GRT on this but I was wondering if anyone knows if this is a workable solution.
