    OAT across units

    Will this software release cover the OAT from the EDC-10A via the EFIS 10A and allow the % power feature to function? regards Tom

    % Power

    I'm very pleased with the firmware updates to the EFIS D10A and EMS D10 but I'd be grateful if you would clarify respnse #3.  I assume that this means that if we've got the an OAT connected to an EDC 10A then the % power function will be updated at a later date. best regards Tom

    Internal Data Logging

    I've purchased one of these Spark Fun Logomatic loggers.  I have managed to get it to record files from the EFIS10A and EMS but the data is bad.  As I know absolutely nothing about electronics I don't know why this is but the product data.pdf sheet does seem to indicate that the recording...

    compass fluctuations

    The socket faces fwd, the flang is on the bottom. It all worked fine for about 10hrs (also OK after software update). I had the aircraft painted and on the return flt it seemed OK intitially (hdg 170) but after about 30 mins when turning onto an easterly heading I noticed the tape moving...

    compass fluctuations

    Today I re-connected the 9 pin plug (did not change it as it seems the screws on the alternates are slightly magnetised as well when checking with a hand held compass) and then did MAGCAL a couple of times, well away from all buildings etc. Once I got a 'weak calibration message'. Whilst...

    compass fluctuations

    Although I have wires for strobes / nav lights I have not yet installed these. The aircraft has got about 11hrs now and I first noticed the fluctuations when returning from the paint shop on my last flight. I initially thought the EDC might have been left loose but all appears normal. The...

    compass fluctuations

    Using a handheld compass I've determined that the screws and the metal part of the 9 pin connector (it has a plastic shroud) to the EDC have become magenetised. Presumably this has occured because my screw driver has become magnetised. Could this be part of the problem or can the EDC cope with...

    compass fluctuations

    I've performed the magnet test and the signals are definitely coming from the EDC. The magnet has no effect when waved at the EFIS. Maybe the canopy closing (its an RV tip up) symptom is just part of the spurious fluctuations. When the EDC is disconnected and the internal compass is...

    compass fluctuations

    I've got EFIS D10A (v2.17.00) and EDC-10A (v1.05.00) in my RV9.  The EDC is in the wing tip.  The set up originally worked fine and was steady but now I seem to have some fluctuating compass readings.  I've re-calibrated twice but with no real improvement.  After re-calibration the headings are...

    On the EFIS D10A is the AOA aural test feature in this release?

    MAP Sensor connection

    I had MAP fluctuations on my EMS D10 when using the standard Vans firewall forward MAP connections on my TMX 0-320 installation. I inserted two 'roll your own' cicarette filters in the flexible pipe immediatly downstream of the AN connector in the #3 cylinder and this has cured the problem. I...
