Hi, I have a blink marine keypad setup and functioning correctly in the PMU software in relation to the PMU functions. I want to use a button of this keypad to control an ADU aux output. The Keypad is on CAN 2 which is of course connected to PMU and ADU. Do I simply recreate the keypad in the ADU software exactly as I did in the PMU software and assign the button as the activation channel for the ADU Aux out? Thanks, I appreciate this is very simple for most here. ---

No, you need to configure a CAN export on the PMU for the specific button states you want to manage on the ADU, and then set up a CANBus input on the ADU to receive this data. Avoid creating a “CANBus Keyboard” element to control the same physical keyboard separately on different devices. ---

Excellent, this makes more sense to me so thank you. I already some PMU CAN data being sent to the ADU for PMU overall status and output statuses, so I assume this won’t be much trouble. Thanks again!
