I have the IFly 740B and a Trutrak 385 Vizion autopilot. TheA/P does not detect the GPS signsl from the IFly 740B. Nor does the D10A see a GPS sigal from the IFly. The A/P head has been sent back t the factory and was bench tested to see if it was working correctly. It was but still and is still not able to get any GPS information form the 740B.

Has anyone got the 740 to talk to the Trutrak A/P?

Thanks for the reply. I have check both the NMEA,Baud rate and adjusted to try all different combinations. Still no luck . Of course I

checked all pin outs to ensure they were correct as well. Also I double checked the breakout board as well.

Have you tried entering a flight plan into 740b tablet, loading the flight plan and then see if any data is being sent to the auto-pilot?????

My $.02 worth.

No I have not actually. I thought once he 740 was turned on the NMEA data would start broadcasting so th D10A could use it. Does it need movement or a flight plan to make it work?
