Over a 3-hour flight yesterday my two-screen Dynon HDX and IFD440 stayed within 1 second of each other. I'm running 16.7.2 (certified) and 10.3.1.2 respectively.

Update: fixGDL now works on microcontroller USB dongles, standalone units dedicated to this task. fixGDL enables multiple ADS-B-In/GDL90 clients to use/depict weather/traffic, e.g. EFBs or as a good test case, the IFD series MFD/navigators, as shown below: These inexpensive devices ($5-$12...

The use case is for any EFB or client expecting a compliant GDL90 stream. My use case was for various EFBs like Fltplan Go or Avare[X] that do not work using the native Dynon GDL90 feed, as described throughout this thread. By compliant, I mean with your tax dollar funded Capstone-derived spec...

After about a year after installation, I experience this at takeoff and full power. No physical change in RPM. RPMs stabilize after a few minutes, although I still get a few erratic fluctuations in cruise. I've checked the wiring at the mag. I'm told this may be from my Slick mags wearing...

Please provide a visual depiction of winds aloft on the map screen with a knob selecting altitudes. The data is already present in the FIS-B received...just not visually depicted on the map with other FIS-B data. This is a typical feature and greatly aids in-flight selection/optimization of...

I've written an Android App called fixGDL that acts as a software-only shim that enriches the Dynon HDX GDL90 stream by adding the missing Heartbeat and Ownship messages, making the resulting stream usable for EFBs/clients expecting compliant GDL90. I've tested this using FltPlan Go, Avare...

Update since last spring: I've written a hacky little GDL90 over WiFi tester (Android) that can detect/decode the basic GDL90 messages (Heartbeat, Ownship, Traffic, Uplink), selected "extended" GDL90 messages (stratux Heartbeat, stratux AHRS), plus other "unknown" GDL90 messages. It also...

Please make the GDL90 over WiFi compliant with the specification. Currently, GDL90 HeartBeat and Ownship messages are not being broadcast, but TrafficReport and Uplinks are. The missing Heartbeat/Ownship confuses GDL90-compliant EFB software (unless using proprietary EFBs like FF with support...

It would be very helpful (and easy) for SA to make an announcement of the delay/status/ETA. Something on their blog at seattleavionics.com/blog/ or their email list would reassure their customers and reduce customer support inquiries so they can focus on restoring service. Blue Skies!

I contacted Dynon and was at SnF too, but they said "we don't have plans in SkyView for support for it. That's not to say that it won't change at some point with our system, but if and when that might happen, I just don't know. It's not something that we have deemed a great need to do up to this...

I can confirm (via packet sniffing and custom EFB reception code over the past few days) my new Dynon (16.7.2 certified) is not sending GDL90 Heartbeat or Ownship messages over WiFi, although I see Traffic_Report and Uplink messages. And I agree these are required per my reading of the GDL90...
