Don't like connections in aircraft wiring if they can be dispensed with.
Why do people try to make things more difficult than they need to be?
In my experience when wiring, components etc. are soldered in an aircraft environment they become dramatically less reliable.
Proper connectors and/or crimps every time - as far as possible!
Soldering a PA together does rather limit the scope for future upgrades too!
Just a quick note here.
There is ongoing work to hugely simplify the PilotAware construction to nothing more that a simple plug n play.
No soldering and no fiddling.
In addition, there is likely to be a prebuilt & preloaded version available.
It is early days and nothing to announce right now, but hopefully soon
This is not intended to circumvent the option to '
build your own' at your own time & expense,
and in no way opposes the 'open hardware and open interfaces' theme of PilotAware.
This is intended to provide a more expedient route for those wishing to get quicker access to the technology.
Watch this space for announcements !
Thx
