There are USB 'sticks' that extend less than a quarter of an inch out of the panel, those are the drives I prevent, like for instance the ones shown here...
What was meant was flat as not protruding from the panel, you could call it short. The two url's point to USB sticks that extend a lot from the panel and might leave a nasty dent in the pilot if he/she ever got slammed against the panel
Fiberglass should not be any problem as it is non-conductive, but carbon fiber is a whole different issue, it is conductive and my create a certain level of shielding
The ethernet connection is only used to sync the obstacle and aviation databases between two Dynon displays, nothing else travels over this link. When the Dynon system reports a network system error it usually refers to the redundant Dynon network (8/9 wires and 9 pin D-connectors) that connects...
I agree, an electrical issue is much more likely for a common issue that happens to cause multiple ADAHRS units to fail in the same setup. Still strange that the new unit initially worked and then failed after just 4 hours. Either the person asking the question is very unlucky in getting two...
Are you describing a setup where you have static pressure, pitot pressure and AofA, meaning all three values measured by the ADAHRS mounted on a single "mast"? Meaning that you are not using the Dynon pitot and AofA probe? The standard Dynon setup is to have Pitot and AofA pressure mounted on a...
If I were to guess I would expect e few kohm resistance between the two wires, without the need to measure anything else but the resistance between the two wires on the small connector that goes into the ADAHRS. That also would mean that besides unplugging the small connector you wouldn't have...
The temperature sensor is just a temperature sensitive resistor, to there is no polarity involved in the sensing. If you are just getting dashes then that seems to indicate that the measurement is out of range. That could result if either the two wires are shorted at some point or if one of the...
The term "EFIS Format 2" and "GAMA Format 2" appear under the heading Garmin settings . So these you probably would have to search in the Garmin setup. Although I don't have a Garmin 6XX/7XX, a similar issue appears in the Garmin 430
I understand that the idea is redundancy, when one of the Dynon displays completely fails the other can perform all the functions of the 'primary' one including WiFi interactions
Looking at the FAST TRACK trays, it looks like a very nice and clean solution. I only have transponder and ADSB receiver (no Dynon COM) and I mounted these two in my plane under the seats, now the coax cable from each to the bottom mounted antennae are only a single coax loop of maybe a length...
The Dynon 800 & 1000 displays supports a fuel system where fuel run back into a talk using two red-cubes. If the 180 doesn't support a differential fuel measurements (I am not familiar) then you are out of luck the red-cubes just output a digital signal where the number of reported pulses is an...
Tach time measures the number engine revolutions normalized to the cruise RPM and reports time. Meaning: tach time will report one hour of tach time if you run the engine for one hour with an average rpm of the specified cruise RPM. I you do a one hour runup on the ground with a (presumably...
