    Power-on and -off operations changed

    OK, thanks. Still it seems too much of a coincidence; I started up Skyview before the update by flipping the switch on the battery an Skyview cane up as it used to, I plugged the USB stick and I uploaded the new version and the latest FAA databases. Then I updated the 472 firmware and the...

    Power-on and -off operations changed

    Still running my Skyview setup on the bench in the (wooden) garage, but installed the new 15.3 version software and updated the 472 firmware. I now saw my first plane reporting it's overhead position. Prior to the installation the Skyview system would come on when I switched the battery power on...

    Wiring an ACK-04 with all Serial ports used

    Yes, but not connecting the ACK E-04 to a gps location source pretty much defies the purpose of the ELT, I had an accident and was temporary incapacitated, so I was very happy (and it probably saved my butt) that they were able to pinpoint my location using the gps and a ambulance reached me...

    Send Freqs to ICOM radio problem

    I had the same issue, and since the Skyview didn't display the frequencies from the ICOM 210 (a red cross was displayed on the skyview top line), I switched off the ICOM 210 interface

    Working with data

    the .csv (comma separated value) files read into Excel without any problems. I would suggest experimenting with the import function you are using to get the .csv files into the MAC spreadsheet. Moving the sign of the numbers to a separate column would make the import process that is now trivial...

    Debugging missing GS

    Could you give a link to find this discussion on VAF, I can't seem to find the GS related discussion and neither can I find a search feature on the VAF site, Thanks,                 Maarten

    Oct 16 database update?

    I have a question about the data file that is now available, now I see a '.duc' file with the description that is is an aviation and obstacle database update. While in the past the there were two separate file for aviation and obstacles that had the extension '.dup'. Has the format for the...

    Yes and it also clearly states something about the customer service I prefer, thanks for the reply and taking the effort to find the proper Garmin statement  ::)

    Caution message after 7.0

    Hello Dynon, With regard to the Garmin 430W software, what is the exact software version for the Garmin 430W that I should be asking from a Garmin dealer to be compatible with the ADS-B requirement? Also any idea what the order of magnitude of the going price for such an upgrade is and can the...

    SkyView Interference (EMI) with Garmin 796 GPS

    Don, Please note that while lead is a good nuclear radiation shield, it doesn't do much with respect to electromagnetic fields. A magnetic soft metal (mu-metal) shield would do much more for magnetic fields, and any conductive shield stops electrical fields. But note that EMI radiation is not...

    ICOM A210E

    OK, yesterday I borrowed a memory scope to look at the serial signals from the A210. I connected the scope to the RX line of the A210 (SV pin 6 TX) and observed that whenever I pressed the TUNE COM button a little serial blurp appeared on the lines the signal went from idle at -4.3 Volt to +8.3...

    ICOM A210E

    Hello, I also am having issues with the ICOM A210. I installed wiring long ago, ICOM pin 1 to ser 2 RX (SV pin 5)and ICOM pin 2 to ser 2 TX (SV pin 6). The ICOM software version is OK (hold swap button when powering on the ICOM) and it shows version 1.53. I have set up SkyView ser 2 to 'Garmin...

    Layout editor - computer application

    Steve, But for normal setups this is basically a one time process, even with some fine-tuning by hand editing of the configuration file this is doable, I understand that Dynon only has a limited amount of manpower available and I would prefer if they used all of that to improve/test/verify their...

    Loading Jeppesen Flitestar routes

    Hello Gianni, Flight plans (GPX files) can be uploaded from a memory stick only, but you can have as many flight plans stored on the memory stick as you want and select from the list of flight plans. - Maarten

    Pressure sensor stopped working

    Jake, Yesterday evening I finally got around to testing the fuel pressure sensor again. Adding a ground from Dynon to the fuel pressure sensor didn't change anything (partly as expected since there are already two wires between the EMS and the pressure sensor: pin 8 the sense signal and pin 30...

    Pressure sensor stopped working

    Jake, There is one ground wire connected to the sensor (from pin 30) and the fuel pressure sense wire (from pin 8) at the 37-pin connector that normally goes into the EMS I measured the 5.4 ohm between these two pins, this is the configuration that indicated a zero pressure before. Would you...

    Pressure sensor stopped working

    Add: Pressure sensor stopped working The temperature in my garage has dropped, could it be that due to a change in the sensor temperature the resistance of the sensor changed and that the converted value now falls outside the valid range?

    Pressure sensor stopped working

    I have a legacy Dynon fuel pressure sensor (100411-000) and I installed it in my project, initially it worked fine, gave a zero pressure reading on the display (in my garage) but recently it stopped working (red cross). I tried to reinstall old configuration files but that didn't help. When I...

    simulator

    I agree with the previous poster, a simulator seems like an interesting idea but how much time do you really want to sit behind it and practice. I have the free simulator for the older Garmin, which may be of more useful as the sequences to enter flight plans are more confusing. As for the...
