Trevor, is AFS planning to incorporate a way of displaying the Gretz heated pitot status indicators on the EFIS systems? (The are three LED indicators that come with the Gretz - Pitot On, Pitot Heater On, and Pitot Temperature Low.)

Thanks!

We hadn't considered it before and based on the circuitry required (no direct input capability) I doubt it would be feasible. But I will add it to our feature request list.

Check out this forum post (http://www.verticalpower.com/forums/showthread.php?t=255&highlight=Gretz+Pitot) on the Vertical Power forums. In particular Matt's posts. You may be able to adapt the info somehow.

I would also talk to Jake at Vertical Power. He developed a module that replaces the Gretz LED module. It's baiscally a logic invertor that could be used on any serial input to determine status. All the VP-200 is doing is basically just acting as annuciation for the control module.
