I have installed the AHRS / Baro module on my Stratux which is using PINs 1 to 12.
Now i try to attach a FlyFYX WAAS module for better GPS signal.
The FlyFYX is sending on COM1 TX (RS232 Out) GPS signal with NMEA and 115200 bps 81N.
I understand, the TX should be connected to PIN 10 on the raspberry, but as there is already the AHRS moduke, i need support, how to connect the FlyFYX to my Stratux.
Atteached pictures of the current configuration and the information about the FlyFYX.

The RPi can not do native rs232. Only UART. In fact, I am surprised that the 12v RS232 has not fried your PI yet...

So there is no chance to use the FlyFYX as GPS source for the RPi?

Not without modification, no.
Would require an RS232-to-USB converter, as well as probably an udev rule that makes sure that the converter is identified as /dev/serialin.
