    Plate info on primary and secondary displays

    For the US customers the monthly updated NAV and Obstacle databases are provided free by Dynon (and nowadays also included in the downloaded map and plates data that for a fee can be obtained from Seattle Avionics), I know that that is different for users in other countries, but was assuming...

    Plate info on primary and secondary displays

    This is the basis for your answer: So fo rthe NAV and Obstacle databases (the free one that you can et from Dynon, only a single drive is needed and the Ethernet cable distrbutes the insternally in the display stored databases to all the connected displays. The other maps and plates as you...

    ARINC-429 Offline

    You are referring to the cables as "RS232 DB-9 cables", but note that the Dynon network cables are NOT standard RS232 cables. The specification for the Dynon databus cables are found in the installation manual and involve specific signals and return lines from the DB-9 connector to be twisted...

    track and heading wander

    Besidesthe Dynon installation and user manuals which you should have at leased 'browsed' through as a user of the plane with Dynon displays (and hopeful full wiring diagrams), try to get a good understanding what exactly is installed in your plane and how it is configured for your specific...

    track and heading wander

    Please provide more information. Is this the first use of the autpilot, or did it work before. Autopilot operations have a large number of parameter to configure the autopilot operations to the specific platform (plane). There is a Dynon guideline for this process.

    VPX Data to D37 harnass

    Yes, and in this kind of setup you would want to connect the shield on one side to ground, a not-connected shield (electrically floating), does not provide the shielding that you are trying to achieve by using shielded cables. So in this setup using a 3-conductor cable with shielding is the...

    VPX Data to D37 harnass

    In the wiring example you see the different variants in the connection. If a ground is added as the thrid wire in the bundle then you can connect it either to 21 or 22. 23 can also be used as it it a direct ground connection on the Dynon Display, but is has a default assignment as backup battery...

    VPX Data to D37 harnass

    For the 37-pin connector both pins 1 and 2 go to the fuse of the 12V supply and both the pins 21 and 22 are connected to avionics ground, this takes care of the power supply to the Dynon display. You can connected the ground of the serial interface. Connecting the shield to the ground either add...

    Level feature pitching up

    A question, the pilot;s User Manual says: Press the LEVEL button to engage the autopilot in Level mode. For safety in emergency situations, subsequent presses of the LEVEL button do not disengage level mode (unlike other AP mode switches). The level button transitions to 'STRAIGHT' mode which...

    Fuel Pressure Transducer Location

    Some considerations: - On the engine - Getting all engine vibrations, pressure sensor might die early, - In front of the firewall (not on engine) - Vibrations reduced, still exposed to the hot environment, but the advantage is all pressurized full remains in front of the firewall, EMS wiring...

    HDX level soft key

    I think there is a note regarding using a single button for multiple displays, that states that there should be diodes in line for each of the displays so that if one display is powered off that the level button still works on the other display.

    Dual HDX maps don't match colors

    Could it be that the left display has the weather overlay selected?

    Monthly update not working

    Did you install any updated Dynon software or is all exactly the same as before the problem appeared?

    Video input setup (not available)???

    Maybe one idea: note that the video USB must be connected at startup to be recognized, it's not like normal USB that can be plugged in while the Dynon display is running.

    Skyview Classic restarts repeatedly.

    Shoudln't happen, unless there is some strange configuration defined in one of the units. TO get some more information just try to power up one of the sceens separately. Unplug one and see whether the other boots normally end then repeat with the other one unplugged.

    Stumped with ADAHRS Failures

    Your reporting on these issues is appreciated, you are certainly not just talking to yourself. I am very happy to share experiences of other pilots, I certainly don't want to have to experience all possible problems by myself

    Remote magnetometer drift

    Just a boyscout compass (you must still have one somewhere in a drawer or the attic) should do, you are not performing a high resolution measurment, you are just trying to prove that there are no magnetic fields near the installed parts.

    Splicing Serial Connections

    Getting two wires in a d-sub connector crimp pin is not always easy, it depends on the wire thickness. Adding 10 slices inside the connector also doesn't leave much room, but you don't want to do it outside the connector as that part of the cable probably needs to be flexible. Also the cable...

    Splicing Serial Connections

    I wired all serial connections onto a 37-pin D-connector and created a mating solder D-connector that connects the spliced pairs by soldeting very short bridge wires directly on the connector. This allows me toverify connections between the different unit by removing the plug, and gives the...
