There have been many questions as to how to get a Stratux working with serial output. Its hard to provide the support necessary for such a system but I hope this will get everyone on the same track.
BUY THIS ONE with programmed Product Description: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7RNFRJ/
If you aren't at least a novice tinkerer you many want to think twice.
Buy a CP2102 module with switches like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CNW061U/
I got one from eBay for $2 shipped from China.
431
Now we need to configure the USB devices description
On the Stratux:
I've successfully built github.com/DiUS/cp210x-cfg (http://github.com/DiUS/cp210x-cfg) on the Stratux itself via SSH
Then run sudo ./cp210x-cfg -N "Stratux Serialout"
Otherwise in Windows:
Download: https://www.silabs.com/documents/public/software/CP210x_Universal_Windows_Driver.zip
Disconnect the USB adapter from the Stratux and plug it into your PC
Then run the CP210xVCPInstaller_x**.exe that matches the type of your computer.
Download: http://advanced-flight-systems.com/user-files/CP21xxCustomizationUtility.zip
Extract this file then locate and run:
CP21xxCustomizationUtility.zip\CP21xxCustomization Utility\CP21xxCustomizationUtility.exe
Change Product Description to exactly Stratux Serialout
Press Program Device
432
Now to connect the EFIS to the module:
Solder wires to GND and 232T <--- CHECK THE LABEL CAREFULLY don't use 'TXD' as its TTL levels
433
Connect these to the EFIS's Serial RX and the Serial GND. (Use serial 1 or 3 for s processors and 4500)
Configure switches on module to:
434
Setup the Stratux:
Plug CP2102 to Stratux and power up.
Connect to 192.168.10.1/#/settings
Set Serial Output Baudrate to 115200
435
Reboot Stratux
As we don't directly support this setup please post questions or other support for others to find.
