    Software Update v16

    Well, look at that! I pulled the plug, burned the files and then Dynon posts the update. Unfortunately for me, I had posted my own software release on my web site last night*, and it does not support the Dynon WiFi streaming, which is the key new feature I was waiting for. In the spirit of an...

    Software Update v16

    Unfortunately, My deadline has passed and I have to look elsewhere for my next panels to meet my schedule. Right now I am designing one for another aircraft at the same time for my S-21. I've been more than patient. It's been a long relationship, but it looks like it's over... Brand 'G' will...

    Software Update v16

    Oh boy. I need to make a panel decision this month for my third build. I have been (more than) a loyal customer for 16+ years, including developing several custom avionics modules for the SkyView system and assisting many other builders. I've been looking at Advanced Panels to do a turnkey...

    Skyview Wish List

    Not likely. OnSpeed provides a more complex and precise AOA computation and calibration. I doubt Dynon would support this right now, because development is still underway to optimize the algorithms. V

    Skyview Wish List

    A request that I made several years ago: Background: I build avionics devices that work with Dynon EFISs. My first was an AOA display for D1X systems, followed by a flaps overspeed alarm. I also developed wiring hubs, one of which was copied by Dynon for the Skyview. I developed the first...

    Skyview Wish List

    You mean OnSpeed? See www.flyonspeed.org. Yours truly developed the visual display, based on work I did 15 years ago on the D10A. I can see the OnSpeed function being subsumed into EFIS systems one day.

    912ULS Erratic RPM indication above 4500 RPM

    In my experience, you have a problem with your ignition system.

    Space based ADSB

    You can follow the progress on http://www.ransclan.com/forums Aerosport has committed to building a custom VS fairing for the S21. The tailBeaconX already fits the RV-4 rudder with taillight fairing. Unfortunately, it does not provide a strobe function, which I am discussing with uAvionix. A...

    Space based ADSB

    I will install a diversity transponder or equivalent in my S-21. If Dynon doesn't license one soon, I will use the tailBeaconX. I have already started the ball rolling to standardize an installation on the VS. This includes a custom fairing that will be made available from a third party. This...

    Dynon Skyview Airspeed Stream from WiFi

    Which year? If you meant 2019, it seems like you've either changed plans or underestimated your workload. Vern

    SkyView ADAHRS serial data version 2.

    Well, I just figured it out. After the original specification for the ADAHRS sentence (version 1), Dynon revised it, yet left it at version 1. I brokered this spec between Dynon and Garmin so that devices that used the serial stream could work from either supplier (called 'FIX'). Apparently...

    SkyView ADAHRS serial data version 2.

    I swear I saw a version 2 of the SkyView ADAHRS sentence. In fact, I documented in an Excel spreadsheet and coded it into the OnSpeed display and a test pattern generator. Now, I can't find the Dynon source document for this anywhere! Please direct me in the right direction. Vern

    EMS multiple +5V outputs (Pin 18)

    I used a 25 pin d-sub (solder cup version) to distribute the 5V bias supply in my rocket. FMI http://www.vx-aviation.com/sprocket/photos/panel_elec/schematics-2/EMS.pdf You also use a 15 or 9-pin d-sub or split one into a ground bus and a 5V bus. Vern. Jeesh it's been almost 14 years since I...

    Space based ADSB

    I am involved in a field trial of a low-cost diversity transponder that will be a good choice for new installs, likely by the end of the year. Economical to boot. Dynon is aware.

    AP auto trim aileron

    My proprietary autotrim system does exactly the same thing. As far as the autopilot knows when holding a course, a cross-wind looks like a roll trim error so the integral of the servo corrections is used to adjust the trim. A heading hold would not produce this, but won't take you where you...

    Space based ADSB

    It's a bit of a misnomer to say that antenna diversity will be required in Canada. We are lobbying Transport Canada to make an exception for light aircraft below xxxx feet. Even if that's not possible, the equivalent of diversity can be achieved with a proper dipole antenna on the wingtip or...

    Dynon Skyview Airspeed Stream from WiFi

    In the SkyView documents, the serial stream formats are documented. They can be interpreted with another device (I've used PIC processors, ATMega 328p's, Teensy and ESP-32 devices. Having said that, I see Dynon is planning on releasing the UDP protocol over WiFi. This is perfect for my ESP32...

    Dynon Skyview Airspeed Stream from WiFi

    Piece of cake, if you want a wired (RS-232) connection. For WiFi, a bit more effort is required using an ESP-8266 or ESP-32 as a serial to wireless bridge. Of course, that assumes that you have a serial port available. If not, the only solution is for Dynon to open up the WiFi protocol.

    Erroneous Thermocouple Readings

    It's important that you do not mix crimp connector brands or types on an individual probe. Also, get rid of any fast-on terminals and use quality barrel splices. Any oxidation in the fast-ons (such as sitting too long) will cause large errors in temperature readings. Until I did this on my...
