The last couple of months have been filled with studying schematics, and attempting to integrate the MGL harness into my electrical system. This is definitely my Achilles heel so I'm going very slow and deliberate here.
However, I did manage to get the MGL Xtreme to fire up on not burn up on my first attempt to turn it on. I still have to wire in the SP-6 mangetometer and the SP-7 AHARS, but I'm making progress. I'm also still debating about locations and mounting options for both of those components.
