Chris, Good idea, and nice design. Any chance you can post the STL file to save time trying to reinvent the wheel?

Rhino, it does not push the databases, but will load the frequencies from the SkyView database to the radios. Under the nearest button, you can push the VOR tab, pick a VOR, and it will load that frequency into the NAV standby side. You can also do it with the COMM frequencies under the...

Well, I installed 17.4 on a friends HDX system with a SL30. A NAV Radio button appeared in the Menu page and works just like the COMM Radio button. One main difference is, once you type the new frequency in, it will automatically load it in the Standby side on both the COMM and NAV, and you...

If you did a little research in the Trig Install Manual, you will find that the RS232 format that the Trig TX56/57 units use is the Garmin SL-30 protocol, which is also the GNC215 protocol, so they should be compatible with the Trig input/output. Below is cut from the Trig TX56/57 install...

Connect it to the main bus. That way when you turn on the master, you can read the battery voltage. You also want the screen connected to the main bus, not the avionics bus. Do not connect it to the avionics bus. As soon as you turn on the master switch, the screen will boot up, and you will...

Trig, who makes the Dynon transponder was doing upgrades from the 262 to a 261 for just over $1000 USD. Last year I sold one I acquired to someone who did the upgrade. They said they were running short of the upgrades, so give them a call and see if they can do yours...

I know when I got my equipment, I got 4 resistors with the EMS module. 2 were 30K ohms, but don’t remember the other ones. They might be 60K ohm ones to use with a 912 Rotax install in the RV12. They were 2 different value pairs to use if you were going to use the P leads input for RPM. Page...

What does the GPS FIX STATUS Page say? See picture below. If you want a temporary work around, it looks like you have some kind of Garmin GPS installed per the other GPS antenna. If you have it connected through the ARINC429 module, change serial port 5 to POS 2, and be sure the Garmin GPS is...

RB-RV9A, This is Brian who makes the interconnect board. If you want some more info on my board, email me at hr2plt@yahoo.com. To give you a basic idea, when they first came up with the ACM, you could not buy one unless you bought the pre made fully assembled panels. I was trying to help out...

Jared, If that didn’t work, you can try this SkyView setting. Set the SkyView settings for serial port 5, to POS 1, and the input device to NMEA basic, and the baud rate to 38,400. See if that works. The ADS-B GPS string might not be correct, and then nothing from the 355 will work. If it...

Jared, Let me know if that works. Brian

Yes, but will require a little bit of time and a few bucks. The easiest way is to get s simple step down 24v to 5v regulator. Something like this will work. https://www.pololu.com/product/2831 The five wire system normally is this. The two white wires are the flap motor. The remaining...

Jared, The simple answer is “YES” you should, but I never tried it. Since the GTX should have the GPS source for ADS-B out, you will need to get a GPS position for the SkyView. The easiest is just find a used GPS-250 for around $75 and install it on port 5 per SkyView’s install manual, and be...

The Dynon Video adapter does work. SkyView uses Linux as the basic operating system, so for any adapter to work, it has to have its drivers installed in the Linux operating software. Just like the WiFi adapters, not every type out there will work. I have the video adapter attached to one of...

Version 15.4.7 does not show lighting, yet. It is part of the next firmware version 16. It has been beta tested, and you will see it, along with pireps.
