    Excellent news Eddie, especially after all the phaffing around you've had with your harness manufacturer.

    As for photo shrinking, are you using a Mac?

    On a Mac, the easiest way I've found to adjust the size is:

    1. Double click on the photo and it will open it in Preview
    2. Go to tools at the top of the screen
    3. Click on Adjust Size....and adjust the size (normally just click on a pre-loaded size rather than Custom but that's up to you)
    4. Save it in File, Save. It probably would do that anyway if you just closed Preview but this way it makes sure
    5. Upload as you always did

    Wow Eddie, you've had a very busy and productive few days. Congratulations on firing up the panel and having the smoke stay on the inside of the boxes where it belongs. Good job persevering through the electrical connections of the Garmin avionics.

    Excellent work Eddie - it is no mean feat to get all that wired up successfully!

    Hey Carl, looks like this App you gave me is about to succeed at posting a Pic.
    So, everyone else, here is the Panel all lit up without smoke. Ive got one switch to label, and add the N- number to the center top. Now to the Engine wiring to the EFIS.

    Very nice Eddie

    After all that other stuff the engine to EFIS, with a CAN bus, should be a walk in the park.
