| Subject: | ControlVision Hookup |
--> RV9-List message posted by: "Albert Gardner" <spudnut@worldnet.att.net>
I'm using a ControlVision GPS setup to feed my Navaid. ControlVision used a
cigaret lighter plugin to power both the Garmin GPS receiver and the IPAQ
PDA. I wanted a more permanent setup so I ripped apart the cigaret lighter
plugin and made an interface box. Wiring up the Navaid autopilot to the
ControlVision setup wasn't difficult but took some time to find out the
appropriate wires. If anyone is going through the same puzzle, I'll share my
wiring diagram via email. My setup uses the external Smart Coupler rather
than the one built into the Navaid control unit but they are nearly the
same.

ControlVision uses a hand-held computer and a GPS receiver to make a GPS
setup for navigation. At Copperstate last year I say another company that
does about the same thing but I can't remember their name. Does this ring a
bell with anyone? I'm interested in using the EZ Pilot autopilot from Trio
but ControlVision doesn't supply the proper GPS signal for EZ Pilot and
apparently doesn't plan on doing so in the future.
