What Is It?
The huVVer-AVI TBX is a general-purpose aircraft instrument built on ESP32-based hardware. With the TBX firmware installed, it serves as a compact and cost-effective controller for the uAvionix tailBeaconX™ diversity Mode-S/ES transponder.
It supports Squawk code entry, transponder mode control, and configuration monitoring—designed specifically for experimental and light sport aircraft builders.
Now with Touchscreen Option
With the release of TBX Version 5.10, builders can now choose between two interface types:
- Standard (non-touch) variant with four-button operation
- Touchscreen variant with an on-screen keypad for direct Squawk code entry
Note: The touchscreen version is a separate hardware model. Be sure to select the correct variant when ordering.
Both versions offer the same core functionality and specifications. Choose the interface that best fits your panel design and workflow.
Key Features
- Interfaces with tailBeaconX™ via SL70 control protocol
- Forwards altitude data from EFIS, altitude encoders, or encoding altimeters
- Sends configuration commands to the transponder

New in Version 5.10:
