    Advice please?

    Terrain isn't a normal database. It won't go between two screens. It's too big. Our one suggestion is to plug the USB stick into the back of the screen directly, instead of using any extension cable, or the cable built into the D37 connector.

    Autopilot disconnect

    Only the Dynon Diagnostic file is compressed and password protected. The alert log is exported as part of "User Data Logs" and is not protected.

    Decision Logic Table

    If we're talking levels down to installation level things like adjusting the K factor, then there are near 1,000 settings in SkyView like this. This seems like a wall of text which would be equally hard to find anything in as the manual currently is. 1,000 lines is between 20 and 40 pages...

    Backup Battery Charging

    The system should charge when the aircraft voltage is above 12.25V. You need to look in "display hardware information". This shows the SkyView voltage. The one shown on the EMS page is  sourced from the EMS and may be hooked to a different point of the aircraft system which is at a higher...

    Do I have an AP Pitch tuning problem

    Any time we hear an AP has been working well and then stops, the first question is always if the shear screw has broken. Morgan, have you checked for this?

    Decision Logic Table

    Don, We'd love to have more easy to use manuals. Do you have an example of the kind of "decision logic table" you'd like to see?

    D180 fuel flow

    % power comes from fuel flow, so the fuel flow is the root issue. The best place to start with these issues is always the fuel flow sender. Check all your wiring to and from, and make sure there is no debris in the system blocking the rotor.

    Charging iPad

    The max power on this pin is 250mA. The iPad wants 2.1A. You won't be able to charge off this.

    "Sine Wave" output fuel flow sensor integration

    As an FYI, the fuel flow senders we sell use optical detection, so the magnetic drag/clocking he describes is not an issue. Bill is integrating with a turbine engine. Bill, the EI FT-180 handles over 250GPH, and easily integrates with SkyView. Any reason you can't use that?

    Next system software release

    SkyView has had animated ADS-B weather since 15.0.2 released 11/3/2016.

    Can Someone Please Help Me Design A Contact Widget

    The pin is pulled up internally to 5V. This means it's 5V when nothing is connected and some path to ground is needed to reduce the voltage below 5V. So you get 5V when nothing is connected and 0V when the pitot connects the wire to ground. This isn't "magic," it's just a 10K resistor to 5V.

    ADSB updates

    The AIM does an excellent job describing ADS-B services (FIS-B and TIS-B). Starts on page 4[ch8722]5[ch8722]7 of the latest AIM and is continued on 7-1-10. Covers all the topics such as where METARS can be received (Table 7-1-2)

    Why So Many CS-02 Choices

    That device is not compatible with any of our pre-defined sensor types. It's response depends on the exact size wire it's installed on. To make it work you need to know how to make your own sensor files, as well as doing some tests on the installation. Hence the reason we don't sell a sensor...

    ADSB updates

    How far away from the airport you were looking at were you? ADS-B does not update the METARS for all airports all over the USA. It only updates all the ones closest to you and then only bigger ones far away. The type of tower you are closest to defines how far away you get things. There are four...

    Auto Airport Diagram

    You can press and hold the MAP button when on the ground to switch to the airport diagram. It doesn't work in flight because it also works to alternate between the map and plates in flight. Zooming all the way in might snap you to hundreds of miles away if that's where your last airport is...

    912iS EMS Fuel Flow

    SkyView does work with capacitive senders that output voltage or resistance. Does yours output frequency? SkyView will show real time fuel flow and can calculate fuel remaining from this.

    Recent TFR Display error Skyview

    We have had reports that that Foreflight's software will receive ADS-B from SkyView even though it's not an officially supported source at this time. Until Foreflight announces that it's something they officially support, then you won't be able to get a statement from them or help in using it...

    Pitot static test mode

    It's a creative idea, but not one the FAA would support. They are already trying to get shops to put a cage around transponder antennas while testing them. With ADS-B now getting popular, sitting on a ramp with your transponder on while you cycle the altitude up and down creates a false target...

    Dynon 180 altitude error

    Sounds like you're hooked serially to the 321. If that's true, there's no way for that signal to be messed up if it's working at all. Unless your D180 is showing 20K feet on the altimeter now and then, it's not the D180 to 327 link. The Skyguard would only need to read one bit from the...
