Been there. Almost certainly you have some unplanned resistance or intermittence in the measurement circuit.

The manual suggests it’s a good idea to create ground loops. Is the SV transponder not quite connected to the ground pin? I installed mine without a separate tray ground because i tested case continuity to ground via the pin.

Mine did the exact same about a dozen times over the last 100 or so flight hours (maybe 9 months). I haven't seen it since just before OSH. I should tolerate a week or two of down time to get it fixed.

Traffic position is inherently wrong unless it's stationary. :D

Given the ADS-B traffic info has a timestamp and velocity vector, can SkyView please update the traffic's position accordingly? Presumably it's a 3D vector, but even 2D would be helpful. On the edges of reception, it might be 10-20 seconds between updates. ::) :o

Desire is to dim it with just the SV PWM output. First-class support.  Thanks!

Thanks. I first hooked up mine the same this evening, and didn't see that. I'll watch for it. Maybe you're a hair under 3.2v?

Don't those inputs all have 5v pull-ups? You need to pull them down (to ground) not try to measure if they go above 5v.

Can someone recommend a simple transistor solution?

I was thinking a signal relay connecting the main bus (w/resistor) to an LED anode and cathode direct to SkyView dim output. But, that's kludgy. Is there an option to pwm the ems light output?

Thanks! Found this even more convenient. https://www.widgeneering.com/mpx5010dp_freescale_pressure_sensor_with_carrier.html This over an ASI because I want it in the data log. :)

Thanks!!

Hi. I'd like to add a cowl differential pressure (top vs bottom) sensor. Lycoming says I should have about 6" water difference. Would this sensor do the trick? And, if it's not too much to ask, an SFG file entry? Thx...

Autopilot -- stick nudge Ryanallen, No. What Garmin has is an option to automatically engage the autopilot if you totally lose it. Rather than an emergency-only device, I was thinking of something more potentially involved in casual maneuvering.

Re: autopilot -- stick nudge? (was shaker..) Sorry, I didn't mean just to shake the stick, but to nudge/pulse it forward to help avoid a stall, like some cars now do to keep your lane.
