There is no requirement to fly for one hour before testing and in fact the manual states that 4 hours of flying time are required to fully charge a fully depleted backup battery, although 11.36V is healthy and not depleted. After you fly, does that battery's voltage increase? It should. If not...

Both displays say that the test passed. Standby is almost the same as charged, with the only difference being that battery voltage is less than 12V at the moment. By the way, I want to emphasize that Ray is talking about the aircraft's lead-acid battery and NOT Dynon's backup battery. Never...

Com radio setup: microphone gain. See if that does it.

You are not allowed to fly by instruments unless you are instrument rated. If you can't safely fly visually without instruments then you must not fly in those conditions. That said, wouldn't synthetic vision help you when near the airport a lot more than trying to see the runway diagram on the...

Oh are you using some kind of Dynon-made dimmer? I am using a generic $35 dimmer. Maybe Dynon's is different.

I think your dimmer is wired incorrectly. Mine works as expected, where full clockwise is full brightness, because at that position it reads system power, and at full counter-clockwise it reads 0V. On the Brightness Setup page you can see the current voltage of your dimmer. I suspect your dimmer...

Perfect, that is what I needed to know. Thanks.

For clarification, the 912's rpm sensor is on pin 32. So I guess that means we should use pin 35 for the rotor rpm? I'm assuming we can't use both 32 and 34...? Not that it matters but it's good to know for sure. The rotor rpm sensor pulses 10 times when one revolution has been completed; I...

I have a Rotax 912 and a rotor RPM sensor that is 5V. I am trying to figure out which EMS pin to use for the rotor RPM so I could display both values. Its voltage seems too low for 33 so should I use 35?

Can you take a photo of the screen? In my request I had envisioned it being added to the navigation ribbon (which indicates distance to next waypoint, ETE, etc.) but it sounds like perhaps they implemented it differently? This was my original request. Is the new feature sort of like this or is...

Did they? That's awesome. I actually requested a feature like that a while ago. I'll finally get to start playing with my HDX in a couple of weeks.

It's not installed yet but I'll be using the HDX in an open-cockpit aircraft. I saw a video recently that mentioned an upcoming matte screen overlay. Can you give us more details on it?

Well there's a navigation sidebar which is a 20% page.

I think we should be able to configure a maximum range for this feature, relative to the aircraft. So e.g. it could be configured to only display runway signs for airports within 20 miles.

Thanks, that's exactly what I would have expected.

Interestingly, even the screenshots in the manual show them reversed.

Page 4-20 of the HDX user manual states that the winds aloft calculation will not be displayed if the SV-MAG-236 (optional remote magnetometer) is not functional. Does that mean the remote magnetometer is required for winds aloft (as opposed to the integrated one) or is it a mistake in the...

So, as I mentioned in my previous reply, if the feature is only enabled when in level flight (or even straight-and-level flight) then might you consider it?

It doesn't need to predict the pilot's future movements, just extrapolate his current ones. However I think it's reasonable to ignore ascent/descent and just use current GPS altitude (and pressure altitude for any airspace's flight-level boundaries). If the pilot is significantly climbing or...

I don't have my HDX yet but I was perusing the manual which is now online. I expect to usually use the PFD fullscreen with the map info column and EMS band. I notice the map info column shows lat/lon (as shown in first attachment) but that seems pretty useless. How about replacing it with...
