ForeFlight’s “send-to”) will be available allowing even easier transfers to the EFIS. In the future, native EFB integration (i.e. The WiFi Gateway enables flight plan transfers from a pilot’s phone or tablet using apps like ForeFlight that use the GPX, FPL or ERT export format.

Wireless connectivity to MGL iEFIS units is here! Thanks to the tremendous effort from MicroKit, MGL pilots are now able to wirelessly communicate with iEFIS Gen 3 and MX1 products allowing our first step of EFB integration! Flight Plan Transfers Our tuned GPS Antenna is included with every iBox (inside mount)Īn RG-174 EFIS LAN coax cable is included with each system Our aluminum OAT probe is included with every iBox The system devices can be split up in any way on each of the CAN buses. The iBox features 2 CAN buses (CAN 1 and CAN 2). The CAN Connector (pigtail harness included with every iBox): The Outside Air Temp sensor also connects to the Power connector. It also has a Keep Alive Power input that maintains date and time and some non-volatile memory items without using the CR2032 battery, which can result in up to 10 years of life on the CR2032 eliminating the need to change this battery every year. The iBox can be powered by 1 or 2 Power Sources (as in the case of a backup battery system). The Power Connector (pigtail harness included with every iBox): The 2nd iBox acts as a ‘hot standby’ and is ready to take over all iBox tasks automatically when necessary, or on command by the pilot.Ĭlick on the DB-25 connectors above to see more information on those connectors.

One iBox is necessary in every iEFIS system, and in cases where maximum redundancy is required, a 2nd iBox can be added to the system. The iBox is the hub of communication for all the system devices (AHRS, RDAC, Autopilot Servos) and is also the hub of communication with all third party devices (radios, transponders, ADS-B, VP-X) via its RS-232 and ARINC interfaces. The iBox contains the GPS engine (with antenna connection), the pitot/static sensors and Angle of Attack sensors. MicroKit MGL WiFi Gateway - Michigan Avionics The iBox is the heart of the iEFIS system, and the conductor in the symphony of communication between all system devices and the iEFIS screens.
