| Subject: | PLEASE READ - Matronics Email List 2017 Fund Raiser During |
November!
Dear Listers,
Each November I hold a PBS-like fund raiser to support the continued operation
and upgrade of the Email List and Fourm Services at Matronics. It's solely through
the Contributions of List members (you) that these Matronics Lists are possible.
You have probably noticed that there are no banner ads or pop-up windows on any of the Matronics Lists or related web sites such as the Forums site http://forums.matronics.com , Wiki site http://wiki.matronics.com , or other related pages such as the List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search , List Browse http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse , etc. This is because I believe in a List experience that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - namely Airplanes and not about annoying advertisements.
During the month of November I will be sending out List messages every couple of
days reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. I ask for your patience
and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout these regular messages.
The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism I have to pay all
of the bills associated with running these lists. YOUR personal Contribution
counts!
This year we have a really HUGE and TERRIFIC line up of free gifts to go along
with the various Contribution levels. In fact, there are 9 great gifts to choose
from! There's something for everyone, to be sure.
Please make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods including
using a Credit Card, PayPal, or by Personal Check. All three methods afford
you the opportunity to select one of this year's free gifts with a qualifying
Contribution amount!!
To make your Contribution, please visit the secure web site:
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
I would like to thank everyone in advance for their generous financial AND moral
support over the years!
Thank you!

I installed a Garmin 496 and a AirGizmo mount in my panel to provide a GPS
signal to my TruTrak autopilot and it worked very well until recently when
it seems to have failed. New battery didn't help. Since I had recently
started using an ipad on a RAM mount I'm think I would not replace the
Garmin but use the ipad instead. Question is though-how do I get a GPS
steering signal out of the ipad to the TruTrak?

Looking on ebay for info about the price of Garmin gps units I ran across a
listing for a repair service (out of Russia of all places).

Anybody ever had one repaired or used a Russian repair service before?

If you are just looking to get GPS to your TruTrak, I would look at just a simple
GPS puck If you dont have another suitable GPS in the plane already.. You can
buy something like the Garman GPS 18 for very cheap. The TruTrak is pretty
easy to integrate with a GPS, even a simple sirf GPS.

I have 2 of the BR-355's as well.
I only mentioned the GPS18 because it's one that may be
more familiar to some people, and can do 9600 baud.
That said, my advice for you is this if you go the BR-355 route:
Contact GlobalSat...they will sell you a 9600 baud version of
the BR-355. I bought 2 of them from them last year. I have one
of them in my RV-14, in fact, set up with a switch to be the backup
GPS for my TruTrak. They're a good little GPS that you can
buy for under $50. I don't think you NEED 9600 baud for the
TruTrak, but I'd go that route if at all possible.

It keeps track of ground track and position.
The ARINC lines do the steering.

When in stand alone mode, it provides the GPS Ground track for the heading
information, plus it provides altitude information for standalone altitude
hold.

This from TruTraks Installation Information: The Garmin 496 was wired to
Pin 7.
Pin 7 is Primary Serial Input. Baud rate selectable 1200, 2400, 4800 or
9600 baud. Automatically decodes NMEA-0183, Garmin Aviation Format, or
Apollo/UPSAT MovingMap or GPSS format. Provides directional reference to
the autopilot.
How does the Global Sat BR-355 get power and how does the GPS signal
come out of it? The picture looks like it has a USB connector. Does it
have a serial connector also? I'm very interested because it looks like
that might be all that I need.

I found this on the internet doing a search for BR-355 pin-out.
You can get the connector at digikey or mouser electronics.
This DIN connector is the same as that used on the OLD PS-2 Mouse /
Keyboard (Pre - USB)
