| Subject: | SL-70 Install /Configuration issues -> Installation |
Manual
Working on an installation/configuration issue related to my SL-70.
The latest Installation Manual I have is dated October 1999 and does not reference
how to enable the EXTended mode or that it is available. It is available
in the software in my SL-70 and I have been provided instructions to successfully
enable the EXTended mode - but I would like to know if there are any other
differences outlined in a later manual. Software currently in the SL-70 is
MICR 015 and FPGA 1.1 from the set-up screen and offers the EXTended mode option
in the configuration. Does anyone out there have a later version of the SL-70
Installation Manual?
I want to make sure it is working properly while helping my ADSB equipment vendor!
The SL-70 Installation Manual references the Altitude message only. I have
the SL-70R manual dated September 2003 and there are enough
differences that I am confident it does NOT fully apply to the SL-70! The SL-70R
Installation Manual references the EXTended mode and "Mode" messages that are
transmitted when the EXTended mode is enabled...hopefully, this info is also
present in a later version of the SL-70 Installation Manual.
Does anyone out there know how to 'capture' the RS-232 data as it is transmitted
from the SL-70 in a readable format? I have a serial port on my computer connected
to the TX pin from the SL-70 and set to 1200, 8, 1, N in HYPERTERM (old
Windows software). It does capture the 'bursts' of data but the results are
unintelligible on the software screen. The SL-70 Install Manual gives me a good
idea about what I 'should' be seeing. Maybe I need special settings or
special software!
Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Ralph Capen

Rob,
It took awhile for me to get back to this thread but THANKS!!!
For posterity sake, I tried the 5 VDC power source from Skyview and that
did not work however the 12 VDC PIN 15 works great!!!
Now I can check fuel by just firing up the Skyview (press and hold button
#1) and do not need to have to connect the battery master!!!
Thanks,
Bill Hunter

First of all, I have to say I don't know anything about the SL-70. But I thought
I'd just mention one possibility - if you see bursts of unintelligible data,
that's often indicative of a non-matching baud rate. Do you know for sure that
the SL-70 transmits its data at 1200 bps? That's actually a fairly slow rate...
again, without knowing the specs of the SL-70, I'd expect higher - like
maybe around 9600. If you're not sure of the baud rate, try higher rates and
see if you find one that gives intelligible data.

Finally got the plane out to run the engine. I modified the circuit, adding the
100 uF capacitor and the 10 Ohm resistor per Bob's instruction.
Same behavior as before -- without engine running, the blades would change pitch
fairly consistently, with an occasional premature cut-off at the extremes when
trying to reverse the pitch; with the engine running, the pitch would change
slightly, but the power would be cut off rapidly.
I added my multi-meter in the loop to see what kind of current was flowing. Without
the engine running, cut-off would occur, as before, at around 9 Amps.
With the engine running, the meter indicated around 2 to 8 Amps before the circuit
was shut down, with most readings around 2 to 5 or so Amps before cut-off.
Not sure how reliable the meter readings are given the quick circuit shut-down.

Manual
Good question for verification Dan,
The SL-70 manual specifies it as an acceptable rate.
It is selected in the configuration of the SL-70.
The primary receiving device (MX-20) can only use 1200 Baud - and it is receiving
data properly and is displaying it without error messages.
Verified - and I have tried other rates without success...with and without reconfiguration!
