    RV-12 EMS fail after Van’s update version 16.0.2 install

    Stan have you tried reconfiguring the network? Not sure but this may be the same issue that some have experienced with network devices dropping offline after the update. The fix is to physically remove the device affected from the network reboot and reconfigure the network. Then power down...

    Unmutable alarms and EGT curiosities

    The unusual values when you disconnect an egt probe are interesting. I was fault finding an egt probe problem the other day. When we disconnected the faulty probe we had a red X on that egt display. We decided to swap with the #1 egt and found when we disconnected that one the temperature...

    I need help understanding/troubleshooting fuel level sensor.

    i had exactly the same issue. All working well one day then the next fuel level zero. After experimenting with a bent stick in the filler hole I found the sender had developed a dead spot mid range so no amount of re calibrating would have fixed it. Replaced the sender with a new one and all well.

    V16 Autopilot - Flight Director <> HSI XTE mismatch - GPS approaches

    Don’t have an answer but reading the manual it seems the system calculates guidance for the flight director and the autopilot follows the flight director. So I would have thought it should not matter for alignment on the runway as the flight director should be guiding you to the centre of the...

    Wind Direction and Speed Indication on HDX

    A quick look at the figures shown and a couple of minutes with a E6B shows that there is a wind correction angle of 23 degrees and a ground speed of 132kts. I suspect the information shown is correct.

    System Event 11

    A bit more info on my system fix. The re-imageing worked well and everything seemed to be going well. I realised when I went for the first flight that I had not loaded the hi-res pacific database. I did 4 error free flights and decided to update the database. It failed each time I tried it with...

    System Event 11

    No idea that was what I was wondering as well. The approach I have been told to take is to reimage the drive. I would be interested to know if a fdisk , chkdisk or the Linux equivalent type utility is run on the drive before the new image is laid down on it. However I will follow the...

    System Event 11

    i have had great contact from Don at Dynon and he thinks there may be an issue with my hard drive that may have caused data corruption. I have been given some links to software to have a go at reloading the software to see if that will provide a solution. Ultimately I suspect it will have to go...

    System Event 11

    Hi all Anybody any idea what causes a system event 11. I was attempting to update to the latest software 16.0.04 when it produced a Event 11 message and told me to contact Dynon with a diagnostic file which I have done. The problem now is the Screen will not boot up at all and stops on the Dynon...

    Adding additional sensor displays to Skyview

    Yes you can and you can move things around if you prefer sensors displayed in a different layout. Download a copy of the installation manual and it explains it all in there. Look for the EMS section.

    Skyview corrupting file system on USB drives

    Hi I have just noticed the same problem. I downloaded the data files onto the USB I have my chart files on. after looking at the data files I went to load the new chart files on the drive and it said it would take 3 hours. I discovered the drive thought it had something like 13k new files on it...

    Airspeed vs Groundspeed

    As mentioned previously check the static ports are clear and you are not using static air from inside the aircraft. I discovered to my horror after an avionics check that a T fitting was broken by the engineer and once airborne discovered the pressure inside the cockpit reduces and causes a...

    Where to mount the ADHRS unit

    Hi my ADHRS is mounted a little further forward on my RV6. The original builder had used 3/4 x 3/4 angle and when I taxied on grass I found I had ADHRS vibration errors. I upgraded the cross struts to 32mm x 25mm x 1.5mm with the long side vertical. I also tied the two struts together to...

    ADAHRS cross check errors?

    Check the aircraft battery voltage is ok. I had a problem when I first powered up with these sort of errors. Your backup battery voltage is low so I suspect all power is coming from aircraft battery

    Ems fail after V16 update.

    Here’s my reply to previous post. Just to add to the previous post. If a network device is not coming online Dynon suggests unplugging that device from the network. Power up and run the configuration again. Power down and plug the device in again. Power up and rerun the configuration again and...

    Look back at previous instances of a network devices not coming online. The fix works for most.

    CFG?

    Hi just guessing here without seeing the screen shot. I suspect it’s saying that pin 2 on the c37 connector is not configured. That pin is one of the two voltage measuring inputs to the EMS. Perhaps look at the EMS setup page and see what is connected to pin #2.
