MGL Stratomaster Odyssey

Before we despatch an Odyssey (or an Enigma) we load it with European airspace, airfields and waypoints data. We also load European GPS mapping that includes towns, rivers, roads, railways etc plus a full set of terrain files for 3D horizon and collision warnings. We can also set up the engine instruments to suit your aircraft - that way it will work straight from the box.

Price Includes Delivery (UK and Ireland.)

FREE UPDATES

Software based additions and updates to functionality are made available to end users via FREE and unrestricted internet download, with the actual task of updating a system being a simple and quick process taking only a few seconds.

Odyssey Features continued

Features listed here are only some of the available functionality, Odyssey, like its smaller brother Enigma, is a dynamic and very flexible development. Odyssey includes all of the Enigma functionality and adds items related mainly to its additional interfaces (ARINC429 etc).

Odyssey is fully compatible with the Enigma database system and application programs, all of which are available free of charge via internet download. CLICK HERE.

RS232 port 1 - NAV/COM radio, FLARM, XAON XRX traffic systems, serial altitude encoder outputRS232 port 2 - NMEA autopilot output / external GPS inputARINC429 - 1 x TX, 3 x RX. Normal and high speed. TX->Autopilot messages, RX->NAV radios, traffic information systems (ARINC 735).USB Host - 2 x. Interconnect between multiple panels, MGL communications peripherals (Weather systems etc).USB Device - 1 x.Interconnect between multiple panels (slave connection).CAN (J1939). Automotive multidrop communications interface.Analogue - 4 x +/-150mV analogue differential inputs for connection to older generation NAV receivers (ILS, Glide slope and flags).Audio - high and low level outputs for audio voice prompts.Airtalk - 2 x multidrop communications bus (MGL propriety bus). Used to connect MGL attitude and compass sensors.Gillman altitude encoder output (standard parallel output bus).Input for Rotor speed sensor (Rotor craft usage only).GPS antenna input for active GPS antennas (SMA connector).

Power Supply

One input to 12V nominal supply. System operates from 6V to 28V.One input/output for optional rechargeable backup battery (recommended sealed lead acid, 2-5A/H capacity). Built in current limited charger.One secure 12V supply output for connection of vital equipment (AHRS, compass sensor, engine monitor(s)).

Sensors

Odyssey uses all the existing MGL & Floscan range of sensors. Fitting an RDAC module in the engine bay provides an interface for all engine mounted sensors, such as oil T & P, RPM, EGT, CHT, fuel flow etc. Rotax specific sensors are catered for, as are those fitted to other engines.
