Brief Description: VPX, I've found your weakness!
|
|
Yep, so I replaced the pins and wires in the VPX and hit the Speed Brake switch and....nothing. GAH! I tried every programable option there was and No joy. I called em up and they said that "At this time we DO NOT support actuators with internal limit switches." In other words, We're not going to be liable for people who program their crap to power something until it explodes. Stupid. Vertical power could SOOOOO easily have a selectable box that allows "Risky" users to provide constant power to their flap systems. We are a big crowd using these things.
Either way, this meant that I had to order a "reversing" switch, pull out 2 DB9 Pins, Run a separate power wire and RE-ZIP TIE THE WHOLE THING. Wow Vertical Power, get it together.
All the wires are now run and terminated at the new switch location and are ready for terminal ends when the switch arrives. The only good news in this was the discovery that my actuator only draws 3.8 amps and FULL LOAD! Awesome. I set the breaker down to 7amps for a buffer and that means I can Keep the original 20awg ground wire intact. Thanks GOD because my ground Buss is DONE and does not want to be disturbed :)
On another note, I heat shrunk and tucked away the landing light wire in the nose. Eventually, I'd like to use all this open space to carry an emergency kit, tire tubes, ect, but not until that battery and those wires are more protected. That will have to wait.
