Thanks, Jake. I will try this.  I may have to rewire a bit, but its a simple experiment. I have one SkyView with battery on the master bus and one on the avionics bus with the Aera.  I will force the Aera and/or the Sl-40 Off until the SkyView systems are online.  Right now the sequence is...

Touche!

I eliminated steam gauges entirely on my second build, confident in the reliability of the SkyView system. However, I knew every wire and every puff of smoke kept therein. This is not typical. A lot of very competent homebuilders are not comfortable sheparding electrons, so this critical...

More info: Powered up today, no joy on the passthrough. Manually powered down one screen and shazam, it worked! Powered up the second screen and pass-through still worked. Tried to recreate the problem by shutting the system down and up again, pass-through worked. It looks like I am getting a...

-Apparently, the main battery was fully charged. -See previous post about confirmation bias. -Pilot was more than capable of flying a blank panel and did so safely.  He has several thousand hours flight experience and a great deal of formation time. He has built two RVs. Vern

There are a number of contributing factors at play here, but the one that is related to the SkyView is documented here.  The Dynon procedure for charging the battery on the ground may not work for everyone. In my HR-II case, the original main battery charging port on my aircraft was limited to...

Well, the plot thickens. After probing the Aera serial input into the SkyView system and sending it into Dynon, the next flight worked fine. The flight after that didn't. Very frustrating. I can check the diagnostics in the serial port setup and everything is fine, the SkyView is just not...

It's well documented that the Dynon SkyView battery is difficult to charge on the ground and needs several flight hours to bring to full charge.. I worked around this by installing a ground power port for running the SkyView and charging its battery. Today I learned of an inflight emergency on...

I agree. The font size for the D700 is inadequate. I am considering removing my D700 and putting a good legible GPS its place. Once the SV trial map licence runs out I will make the decision. Just to be fair, the Garmin Aera display is even worse, so it will get punted as well. If the D700...

The small aircraft that most of us fly are in constant need of trim adjustments, with or without an autopilot. Ideally, you'd engage the AP once the aircraft is fully stabilized and you would only ocassionally be asked for trim adjustments. However, i'm just not that patient. I usually snap...

Some kind of 5% strip (or two) would be very useful when using the 6-pack PFD. I have a 10 inch with PFD/engine and a 7 inch with map. I would like the option of the 6 pack for acro. While you are at it, allow for larger fonts on the engine and map displays. The 7 inch is legible only during...

Uploaded again with a .zip file this time. Thanks for digging into this... where I fly, frequency selection is a full time job. Vern

Any update from Dynon support?

I uploaded the log file. One correction, it's SW 11.0. Vern

Here's some more info. I powered up only the EFIS with the map license and PFMS data and the Aera operating. The SL40 would respond to frequency pushes from either the Aera or SV. It would not, however group load into the SL40 memory. Switching the S40 to the Aera and I can get the group...

I can push single freq from either source.  To get the automatic group push to memory, I have to switch my SL40 input to the GPS and leave it there.  Kind of defeats the whole purpose of having map software in the SV if I have to depend the GPS for this.  The SV is somehow blocking the group...

I'll send a diagnostics log. In the meantime, here's the problem with the SV implementation...I have to click the Info tab, select the airport, select Comms, select a frequency and push the button. Leave the window open and obscure the map in order to select other frequencies as I approach the...

Well. the plot thickens.  I can preload standby frequencies either from my Aera or the SV (pass through). Unfortunately, the very handy and useful preload of the 'recall' list on the SL40 does not work with the SV.  I am used to the Aera pushing all the frequencies for the nearest (or...

I did have one cable with a pair of pins reversed.  Found it during the build, not an issue.  I've screwed up more often than I care to admit, so it's hard to be too critical of Dynon. My post was an 'attaboy' to Dynon for having the software smarts to localize the probem.  It took about 50...

Sorry to say it was yours, it was an SV-net-15cp on the factory terminated end.  No big deal. Vern
