Title: Help with ADS B out (Funke TRT 800) please
Post by: daviddurrans on September 09, 2016, 07:53:55 pm

Good Evening All,
I'd appreciate some practical help introducing my PAW to my TRT800 for ADB S out. I have the Funke document instructing that the serial data line is connected to pin 12, and that ground is pin 0 or 9. Software version is o.k.

I've been advised that the usb to serial converter cable required is FTDI  USB-RS232-WE-1800-BT-0.0  CABLE, USB A - RS232, SERIAL CONVERTOR from Farnell. This cable has 6 output wires, 4 more than required by the transponder.

My question is: If this is the correct cable, which wires are to be connected to pins 0 and 12 on the transponder? Looking at the cable tech data sheet it's black to 0 (ground) and orange to 12 (asynchronous data output), but I'd be grateful for supportive advice from a guru

Thanks

David D

Hi David

There is a thread on this on this forum 

ADSB out from Funke TRT 800H

The last post is


I recently enabled ADS-B on my Trig TT31 through PAW.
Trig recommended the Farnell USB-RS232-WE cable, costing about £12. The connections are, TXD (orange wire) to transponder serial input, Ground (black wire) to transponder ground.

This worked fin for me.

I know this is for Trig but it should give you a clue on the colour coding

Hope this helps

Keith
