    Uncommanded Autopilot Engagement

    Well, sticking my nose in here, "RTM" would certainly have been more appropriate than including the "F", which definitely is somewhat condescending. On the other hand, many people do NOT "RTM" before asking simple, obvious questions, and for those folks who take the time to try to help those...

    a couple questions re IFR approaches

    As @airguy says, with dual screens, it's fairly simple to maintain attitude, location, weather and traffic situational awareness. On the left screen (pilot side) I have PFD and approach plate, along with bottom engine band. On the right screen, I have map and engine, 1/2 and 1/2. So I get...

    D120 Pin 14 only reading 4 volts (should be 5 volts)

    If you have disconnected the FT-60 from the EMS and you're measuring voltage on pin 14 on the EMS, then you're just measuring some internal floating voltage that doesn't mean or represent anything in particular (although you could call Dynon's support line and ask them what it might mean - can't...

    D120 Pin 14 only reading 4 volts (should be 5 volts)

    I'm sorry, but I don't think you are understanding (or someone isn't) what's going on here with the "red cube". The red wire, from pin 15 on the D120, is 12V/14V power TO the red cube. The black wire from pin 13 is the ground wire TO the red cube. The yellow/white wire from pin 14 on the D120 is...

    Screen Size of HDX1200

    The panel cutout is the same size as the HDX-1100. The screen size is larger. The attachment screws are in a different place. Look a the PDF's of the two here: https://www.dynonavionics.com/drawings-cad-models.php for dimensions.

    SkyView Autopilot Control Panel buttons getting slow/sticky

    Nope - bought mine in 2020 - as I said, it's 4 years old.

    SkyView Autopilot Control Panel buttons getting slow/sticky

    Interesting. I've started having the same issues - about the same age, too. Works great, but never know if a button press it going to take or not...

    Altitude Bug

    RTM. It's where all the other bug settings are. Not in setup. See BUGS under PFD tools.

    Altitude Bug

    Set the "MIN" bug for that. 10' increments, IIRC.

    What shop time for Classic to HDX upgrade are people seeing?

    Garmin does exactly this for their G5 and G3X screens (maybe more, but I've used those). Works great - very simple.

    Request to Restore EMS Lean Mode Function for Rotax Engines

    Once you know your engine and have it tuned correctly, you're absolutely right - Lean Mode is not particularly useful. But if you have fuel injection and the ability to change cylinder EGTs individually by swapping injectors, Lean Mode can be VERY useful for determining which cylinder needs what...

    Info button doesn’t show current destination

    Look at the flight plan on the SV - highlight the destination, and then hit "INFO".

    SV-Net Protocol and Data Rate

    Umm Ummm, Appendix E is "Serial Data Output". The serial line outputs information only - nothing goes in. It doesn't "communicate" with any of the other devices on the Dynon bus, which is what was being asked. If @hedley wants to make believe he's a servo and communicate with the EFIS over the...

    Edo-Aire/Century servo motors with D-10A?

    Assuming you're talking about using them for an autopilot servo, then the answer is absolutely not. If you're talking about trim motors, then maybe, if they're just DC motors.

    Alternator display on engine management page

    Yeah, see, that would have been really useful information to have up front that would have saved me a lot of typing. Assuming that both alternators are hooked up to the PPS correctly, and that they're hooked up to the VPX per pages 30/31 of the install manual, and if they're configured per page...

    Alternator display on engine management page

    You don't say which alternator is on a shunt and which is on an induction coil, or which way you WANT the current reading to read, or what the ammeter is measuring. There are three possible measurements: Alternator output Bus Load Battery current in/out Personally, I like (3) as I find it the...

    Skyview Wish List

    The UG is up to Rev. L now. Referencing a chapter and page # within that chapter would be more useful, as different PDF readers label pages differently. And I don't think that you're correct - I don't believe there's any way to overlay the plate on top of the map (which is what I believe @AndiK...

    SA does it again.

    Because, sad as it is, it costs Dynon nothing to watch you complain about this POS, which is certainly what it is. There's no incentive for them to do it themselves. Making you (and me) happy isn't their goal - maklng $$$ is. Making us happy is an accidental side effect of making $$$. Capitalism...
