| Subject: | Need latest Navworx UAT Console |
I have the Navworx unit that will work with the AMOC given a certified
GPS source. But I don't have a copy of the UAT console that will run,
looking for help.
I tried running the UAT console software I obtained back in 2012 but get
an error on loading, "Nonshared DATA segment required", then if fails to
open. Anyone have experience with this?
A secondary concern I have is that I recall the UAT console loads a
version of the Navworx software. If so, this is backlevel for my box
(my box had been sent in since then for a maintenance upgrade).
Does anyone have a copy of the UAT console that they can share or
otherwise advise? Thanks.
(I'll be posting on the VAF board as well)

Power may be the hardest part about the BR-355. I can't remember for
sure but I think it runs on 5V. So I had to throw together a simple
5V regulator that I mounted nearby and ran 12V into that.
That's one thing about the Garmin GPS 18...I'm not sure if it reduces
the 12V in the lighter plug, or if it's 12V all the way to the puck,
but it may eliminate one step of getting something that works.

For the BR-355, I cut the connector right off, wired it to a DB9,
and hooked up my own power module to power it.

I have version 4.1.0 if you need. You're right that if you run
the app, it will upgrade your firmware. Mine is far newer
than 2012, but not the 5.0 that Bob talks about.
I have seen one person who couldn't get it to load on their
system, due to an issue with the system, but I was able to load
it on 3 of them.

I have a Garmin puck feeding my ELT running off of a 5V DC-DC converter: Recom
Power R-78W5.0-0.5
Mouser has it for under $8.40.
The puck comes with a cigarette lighter adapter, but the 5V converter is much smaller.

If you need 4.1.0 and the manual, let me know.
I haven't been able to locate anyone that has 5.0 yet.

Exactly. If you get a puck, plan to just chop the cable up anyway. In the end
you can make it smaller and lighter and not have to deal with anyones special
plug.

The Mauledriver email is just for posting.
My email is BillisinDurham - gmail (without the 'is').
I have the current manual from the Dallas folks.
Thanks all!

OK, I found a 5V power supply on ebay for $8+ but looking at the listings for the
BR-355 shows also a BR-355S4 which is much cheaper. What is the difference
between the units? Listing for the BR-355 are over $200. (I did find a listing
for a BR-355 from China for $15 + $13 shipping!!!).

I don't know with 100% certainty but I think the biggest difference is
likely that the S4 model uses the SiRF IV chipset whereas the regular
BR355 may use an older or different chipset.
They are both cheap: BR-355-S4 for $27.00
https://www.amazon.com/GlobalSat-BR-355S4-GPS-Receiver-Black/dp/B00AMAJFUO
BR-355 for $33.95
https://www.amazon.com/GlobalSat-BR-355-Serial-GPS-Receiver/dp/B000VUFGF8
I don't see the ability on their website to directly compare the
BR-355 with no suffix, but when I compare the -W with the -S4,
the difference is SiRF III vs SiRF IV, and SiRF III does 20
channels wheras the SiRF IV does 48, and boots up a little quicker.
I can tell you that when I had them sell me the ones that
defaulted to 9600 baud, I got the BR-355-S4 version. I paid
around $50 for that. If I didn't have the baud rate fixed, it
would lose it's baud setting on power-off. I bought mine
for APRS tracking and wanted to be able to use 9600 baud for
that. I also feed my TruTrak as a secondary GPS.
Hot tip: There's a magnet in the case that you can pull the
sticker off and then use a screwdriver to pry the magnet out
of it. I didn't want a magnet anywhere near my plane.
Once the magnet is out, the puck weighs almost nothing and you
can secure it with velcro somewhere. I have one in a wingtip
and one under the VS fairing and both work perfectly.
Something like that DC-DC converter you found will work well.
I think I have that on one of them, and on the other I used
an LM7805 5V regulator similar to this, along with a couple
other components:
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/107
cheap to do either way.
Lenny's DC-DC converter I think is this one:
https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/RECOM/R-78W50-05/?qs=T0XSgvH75d6ym%2FmhBy%252boCA%3D%3D&gclid=CjwKCAjwhOvPBRBxEiwAx2nhLm6kZTNFsk-7LUrrI2uK_jNuTKkH5mIPGaB6Xfr_sIi4wxc-4RUORRoClb4QAvD_BwE
It's also cheap and simple. You don't need a lot of wattage
to drive this GPS. His can use source voltages of 6.5 to 32V,
so may be a real nice option. Your GPS would be one of the
last things in the panel to die if you lose power, and would
be one of the better power-spike survivors at 32V.

Yes the BR-355 5 V. On the Advanced Flight system, I used the sensor +5
output to drive the BR-355. There are also three terminal TO-220 case
regulators that are ideal for powering this. They will take up to 35V input
and are current and temperature regulated.
