So it went for me this past week. I thought I was finished with my panel upgr ade and took the plane up for a test flight. Keep in mind all the component s were working prior to the final install in the panel. I enter the flight plan in the 175 and it comes across to the Dynon, great. I take off and note that the magenta line isn=99t being displayed on m y moving map, nor is the HSI working properly. I am also getting an error on the G5 for loss of ARINC429. I get back down and check the setting they se em good. What=99s going on? It was all working fine before the final i nstall. I check the Dynon diagnostics and see ARINC labels coming across, y et no HSI, odd. I email Dynon, they scratch their head and can=99t fi gure it out, settings look good. Maybe the Dynon doesn=99t like to pl ay with the G5, and they suggest disconnecting it from the system, even thou gh I told them it was working previously. Frustrated, I head out to the plane and remove the center panel to gain acce ss to the G5 and GAD29 which required that I remove the com radio and GPS. I go to reinstall the GPS in its tray and something doesn=99t feel righ t. I pull it back out and peer inside the tray and that do I find, a bent p in in the tray connector. Ugh. I confirm the bent pin is for ARINC out. T hat makes sense. Optimistic as ever I think I can straighten the pin while in the tray. Who w as I kidding. I had to remove the trays and wiring harness from the plane. What a PITA it was. I replaced the pin which was no small feat. Then I re connected the harness and did a quick functional check without the trays and everything worked. I then move on to reinstalling everything into the pane l. As I was installing the trays I found myself pushing against the pins i n the connector. Fortunately, I realized what I was doing and stopped befor e bending any more pins. Mystery solved. Those HD pins are tiny and very, v ery fragile. Here's a picture of the panel upgrade which is complete for the most part.
