  Sep 06, 2021     Started wiring the Avionics - (16 hours)       Category: Avionics

For this log entry, I started wiring the avionics in the Cruzer. I mainly wanted to get the EFIS connections with the G175 Garmin, and the the Trig 22 Mode S transponder. I did run into 2 issues. I accidentally connected the Serial out of the ARINC to the EFIS to the In and vise versa. I found the mistake by using a multi meter and checking the pins. I also forgot to wire the Remote on ground wire on the trig 22 transponder. I corrected this issue and all is now correctly working. I continued and installed the RF Cabling for the following antennas, Com radio, Transponder, and GPS Antenna. Attached is my wiring diagram i drew out for future reference.
