Hello inancantil,

The module seems fine.
Does it work in test mode?
Have a great day!

I choose Autopilot-heading in fsuipc section and then click use. Under display section , i click test and all leds are turned on. I click stop then click test again. All leds are turned off. I dont know what it should do so i dont know is it normal or not .

If the module is connected and set up correctly during test mode the digits shall show different numbers and should not light up all of them segments.
Have a great day!
