Joshua's RV-9A Project

Today I installed the real VP CU in place of the blank shell that was used for mounting and wiring, after testing the power to everything that’s installed.  (There is a lot of gear that gets power but doesn’t yet exist–ELT, APRS, EFIS’s, 430, and so on…as well as things in the wings that aren’t connected at the moment.)  Of course, I discovered that I had stupidly reversed the gender of the DB connectors; I had read the sheet as indicating the cable gender, where it was really indicating the gender on the CU.  So, all those pins were cut off and recrimped.

With the connectors sorted, I was able to power up the box and hooked the computer to it to begin programming and testing.  Had time to program just a few pins before it was time to go to work.
