If so, then I imagine it would be done in the same way PAW can be connected and configured on the more modern kit RS I think trying to see them would be akin to an eyesight test on every flight. Likewise there was one on the MGL Forum but this was lost when they migrated to a new Internet platform and didn't import the old posts. A lot of good info lost when they did that Another edit to add a diagram of how mine was going to be set up through the Extender. It's as simple as one wire.
Yes, had a quick look through, the protocol selection is on page 82 of the document Lee linked to. The serial to USB adaptor will need to be the one supported by Rosetta So what about the operating system then?
Linux was a candidate, I must admit. In the end I wrote a system completely from scratch. Now, as everybody including Bill Gates will tell you, that is stupid.
But it has some merits. Being able to write the development system compiler AND the operating system allows me to optimize the system tightly around the hardware, i. This allows another advantage: I need less memory and can even run right out of Flash. Static is expensive but good. So, there you have the basics: hardware in all respects, operating system and the actual application programs all done by a single person.
That is good. Everything fits together in a way that is impossible to achieve when many people are involved. Here we do not have the traditional costly and time consuming conflict between the hardware department which does not know a lot about software and the software department that knows nothing about the hardware. However, the continued support and development of the product is handled by a growing team of capable and qualified persons].
Displays are a story on their own. Some are good at something, but bad at other things. Some are good but difficult to get or have unreliable supply.
Many display manufacturers make to order. That means you have to buy a serious quantity perhaps or That is a lot of money. But displays are one of the most important items in our instruments. So we solved this problem nicely. We found a display manufacturer that can listen and that understands us. We tweaked and modified displays until they were right. What is the big issue you may ask?
The issue is simple: We need a display that you can view with direct sunlight falling onto the display and I am talking about the very bright sunlight you get here in South Africa — not the mushy glaze in London! At the same time the display must not require a huge amount of power to achieve this.
Power consumption is a major issue for me. It has a direct effect on overall system reliability and lifetime. Enigma has the lowest power consumption of any EFIS. That is no accident. OK, so now we know a bit about Enigma. SW Avionics. Midwest Panel Builders. MGL Avionics. Electronics International. Centroid Products. Blue Sea Systems. My account. Shopping cart close.
