Stratux wired connection - I must be doing something wrong...
Posted: Sun Oct 11, 2020 2:54 pm
I have an HXR running the latest software.
I have a STRATUX with GPS (no ADHRS) and a wired serial output board. The STRATUX is also updated to the latest software version. It recognizes the serial output board. Set at 38400. The board is this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Stratux-Serial-A ... B01N7RNFRJ
Note that this output board has output pins for the connecting wires, NOT a usb port for output. The USB port you see in the pic is plugged into the Stratux motherboard.
The Stratux seems to be is functioning fine. I have screenshots available of all the connection pages and all looks well.
The serial output board has pin connectors for Serial IN, out, and signal ground.
I read the info sheet that came with the serial out adapter. I also read this: https://grtavionics.com/media/StratuxSupplement.pdf
I took wires from those pin connectors. Stratux serial OUT to HXR port 7 serial IN. (at 38400 also)
Stratux serial IN connected to HXR port 7 serial OUT.
Srtatux OUT board Ground pin to the Stratux power ground.
I did not use a "serial to USB adapter cable" - because I could connect those Stratux serial OUT board wires directly into HXR serial port 7.
Now, per section 2.1 of StratuxSupplement.pdf, I configured HXR port 7 serial IN as ADS-B. That choice exists.
By just doing that, I get data counts into the HXR serial port 7 IN.
However, in the Set Menu > Display Unit Maintenance > ADS-B Status I get zero valid frames received. (multiple tries.)
Per "StratuxSupplement.pdf" I can't set the HXR port 7 serial OUT to "STRATUX" - the choice does not exist. "ADS-600B" exists but does not help.
So for now HXR port 7 serial OUT is set to "off."
Per "StratuxSupplement.pdf" I can't set "USB ADS-B" to ON because the HXR reports a conflict with Serial Port 7!
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks, Bill H.
