When I disconnect the wire from the tank sensor, i.e. open circuit the fuel quantity goes to zero over about 5 minutes. If I short the wire to ground it goes to full over about 5 minutes. So I figured it was likely a poor connection so I recrimped the ring terminal and made sure the fastening...

Thanks for the tip on checking the fuel calibration. Here is a couple of data grabs from Savvy Analysis which shows the sudden drop around top of climb and then an increase in the descent or on landing. Do you think this looks like the float sensor going bad or the wiring to from the sensor to...

Flying back from Sun n Fun I had a couple of incidences where after topping off the tanks they both showed full after start. Then about 10 minutes into the flight the right fuel tank volume would slowly go to zero over about 5 minutes. Its not leaking. Then on descent or after landing the volume...

Flew today after updating to V15 software. I had ADS-B weather on my iPad running ForeFlight but no traffic. Is traffic sent to ForeFlight over the SkyView WiFi network? Is there a setting that has to be managed? Cheers Nigel

I have my starter wired through the normal start pin on the VPX. A while back I started to see the starter annunciator illuminate in flight and what it turned out to be was an early warning of the starter solenoid failing. Cheers Nige

Sorry I think the log has been overwritten, but if it happens again I will get one to you guys. It has been working fine the last 10 hours. cheers Nigel

Thanks for the reply Dynon, The Event 3 message was after the transponder came back online. I could not find an explanation of what 'Event 3' means in the install or operator manual. Does the '3' mean it is the third event, or is 'Event 3' a type of event? Cheers Nigel

I had my Skyview transponder fail in flight for about 30 seconds. I got a XPDR Fail warning, the code field on the top row went blank and there was some noise in the intercom. After about 30 seconds it came back to normal. I subsequently got a "Sys Event 3: see setup" caution. Not sure if they...

Thanks for the troubleshooting tip Dynon. Last night I disconnected the two sense lines from the EMS to each side of the shut, just by taking out the two automotive style inline fuses. With the alternator on the voltage showed 14.3 which is normal. The amps not surprisingly showed 0 the whole...

Hey Dynon, Is there a chance this is an EMS error? Any hints for troubleshooting? Cheers Nigel

Thanks for the tip Louis, I checked all the alternator connections including the shunt and battery ones as well and all were tight. Cheers Nigel

I have a Dynon Skyview system with EMS. The ammeter shunt is set up so it measures the alternator output. I also have a Vertical Power VPX Pro. The VPX measures the current flowing through it and then calculates the difference between VPX current used and Alt output and figures any difference...

Second graph

Hi Dynon, Here are the test results that prompted the questions. If I understand your explanation correctly at 16Hz I could have a time error of up to 1.3625 seconds when comparing the time stamp of the Skyview with another source (not counting the errors in the other source). If this is the...

Dynon, Thanks for your quick and full answer. What I was seeing in flight was very small across track error but an along track error that was equivalent to about 1 second of flight at my current ground speed. If I allow for a 1 second error in along track I also get very good accuracy here as...
