WXStar - Avionics Interconnect

WXStar Avionics Interconnect

WXStar provides three parallel output paths. All three work simultaneously, so you can use any combination that fits your cockpit setup.

Output Path 1: Wireless FIS-B

The primary interface for panel-mounted avionics. WXStar broadcasts weather data using the standard FIS-B protocol that avionics expect from US ground stations.

This requires a FIS-B capable receiver in your aircraft:

Garmin Transponders
  • GTX345 / GTX345R
  • GTX45R
  • GNX375

  • Certified Displays »
    Garmin Receivers
  • GDL88
  • GDL39 / GDL39R / GDL39 3D
  • GDL50 / GDL52

  • Experimental/Portable »
    Dynon
  • SV-ADSB-472
  • SV-ADSB-470 (obsolete)

  • Dynon Details »
    Avidyne / Other
  • Lynx NGT-9000
  • SkyTrax 200

  • Avidyne Details »
    These will NOT work for FIS-B:
    GTX330, GTX330ES, GTX327, GTX335, GTX33R, GTX35R

    Output Path 2: WiFi (GDL90 Broadcast)

    In parallel to the wireless FIS-B interface, WXStar broadcasts all weather data in GDL90 format on the Starlink Mini WiFi network.

    Compatible apps and devices:

  • ForeFlight
  • SkyDemon
  • Garmin Pilot
  • Avidyne IFD440/540 (via WiFi connection)
  • Other GDL90-compatible apps

  • Output Path 3: RS232 Wired

    The WXStar 4-pin connector provides an RS232 serial output for wired connections. This works completely in parallel with the FIS-B and WiFi interfaces.

    Compatible devices:

  • Avidyne IFD440/540
  • Avidyne EX5000 (requires software 8.2.2 or later)

  • All Interconnect Documentation
