How do I load the NAV Data Base in a NZ2000?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

USB STICK MUST BE LESS THAN 2 GIG

Get the usb drive from the Grey Box……If you elect to use any other stick, it must be already formatted….FAT 

use SHOW HIDDEN FILES to be sure there is no other files

try not to connect the onboard maintenance computer directly to the internet for two reasons:

1. It is XP, and thus virtually a magnet  for viruses.

2. it is set to HARD IP for various reasons, that means you will go grey fooling with the DHCP blah blah blah blah.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

delete all existing files on the stick

less one each digit

Download NAV db, WORLD

you end up with a EXE somewhere on your laptop.

Run the EXE and set the “extract to” path to go directly to the USB stick.

let it extract.

go to the airplane.

USB loader on the left.  Be sure to POWER and SELECT correctly

Todd,
See dataloader code related 85. Once the other items are confirmed you may have a DL hardware issue or connection problem.When the CDU displays a message of CHECK DATA LOAD (XX) after
an attempted disk operation, the numeric value in the XX position is
interpreted using the data loader fault codes listed

85
NO ASYNC DATA RCVD
See 01 (this error number will be seen instead of 01 if the FMS has
the new synchronous download mode)

01
OPEN CMD NO RESPONSE
Check electrical connections.  Either the FMS cannot talk to the dataloader (the red drive activity
light does not  go on) or the FMS does not hear the response from the dataloader (the
drive light turns on).

HOW DO YOU GO FROM A BITMAPPED IMAGE TO USEABLE GCODE?

http://www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum/31-cad-cam/20632-routing-bitmap-contour

 

 

1. Make image as black face (B/W image) in Gimp or similar
2. Import to Inkscape
3. Trace bitmap
4. Delete bitmap – leave traced image
5. Zoom to border and set grid or guide to cutter radius
6. Do multiple Outset (need step small enougth) and observe vhere is enougth.
7. Use GcodeTools Inkscape extension – Path_to_Gcode
That’s all….

Step 6 is little tricky. I can’t set proper step to do it in one Outset operation. So I set that step to small value and observe result when is right amount. It’s easy if the grid is set to the cutter radius and image aligned to grid. Just apply Outset to reach next grid line.
I got good result with that.

 

Here is a FRITZING to GCODE solution
