Had an incident yesterday when I engaged the AP GNSS/VS mode the AC immediately rolled into a right turn despite already being on course (AC over the magenta line). I was climbing through 5,000 for the altitude bug of 6,500 on a course of 184 with a BTW of 184 and xtrk error of 0.08 nm. The only...

The link indicates the survey is closed. I did a complete custom EMS layout for my Viking Honda 110 in an RV-12 that included adding a custom AFR sensor definition if Victor is interested in that experience.

You could check with Maker Plane for the AMX-4A 5-channel audio mixer that was once offered by VX Aviation. You can find the installation manual here: http://54.92.159.85/redmine/documents/20 You could also check with the designer, Vern Little at http://www.huvver.tech/open-source-hardware/...

A pdf wiring diagram can be found at the following link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YyRWC6Kt6gHTPgncep-O1S4Jae9i4eOJ/view?usp=sharing You do not need an audio panel to hear annunciators or music, my PM3000 intercom as two separate music input jacks and my Dynon SV-1000 audio is wired to...

A simple COM-NAV switch will work fine to select the radio audio source feeding the intercom unit. I have two comm radios and a nav radio that are switched using a 3-position (COM1, COM2, NAV), 4 pole switch with a PS Engineering PM-3000 intercom. Radio 2 is a COM/NAV unit, so the MIC input...

Could you expand on the last comment about multiple devices on SV WiFi not necessarily talking to each other? I presume if Foreflight can talk to the IDF540 over the Avidyne WiFi network, there should be no change in capability by switching it to the SV WiFi network. For unknown reasons...

Correction to this post, the IFD100 runs on the WiFi, not the BT for the IFD540, BT is only for the external IFD keyboard. I was looking at the "Devices" page of FF earlier today while connected to the SV and IFD 540 and noted the capabilities listed under the 540 included sending FF FPs to the...

I agree with the frustration trying to synch up the IFD, Skyview, and Foreflight, especially for any Instrument Procedure changes during flight. I was shooting some RNAVs today and basically used FF for looking at the approach plate in order to keep SV Map, SV AP, and the 540 synched for any...

The DATA 2 pair, pins 4 and 8 are SV-Network D-9 pin numbers. You need to look at the RV-12 Electrical diagram for your version of the electronics to trace the wiring for those pins through the AV5000. Typically labeled as EFIS DATA G (SV-Net, pin 8) and EFIS DATA H (SV-Net, pin 4) are signal...

I just added a Stratux receiver to play around with and to see how it works as a backup GPS/ADS-B/ADAHRS with Foreflight. I had thought about the Stratus 3, however it costs as much as the D3, so the Stratux is an inexpensive experiment. I was already running a Dual WAAS GPS with the Foreflight...

I like the Skyview system with an IFD540 and Foreflight for IFR capability in my RV. Coupled AP capability for approaches is nice. Plan flights off-aircraft with ForeFlight and upload the FP to the panel when you get to the aircraft (Skyview WiFi). I would think something like dual HDX1110s...

I ran the annual SV Backup Battery test today, no problems running for an hour with no power input. I let the battery recharge and shut off the Avionics bus switch to kill power to the SV1000. Normal power lost messages, so I pressed Power Off and the SV1000 shut down. The SV rebooted and came...

Happy to report my IDF540 is now talking to the -261 xpndr for ADS-B compliant GPS input. ARINC-429 interface with SV-D1000 also looks to be fully functional. SV manual fixed with a redline. John Salak

Just looking at SV Installation Guide Rev W for v14 and it appears the IFD540/440 serial port setting is still set at 19,200. It looks like you did a lot of work in the transponder area for ADS-B, did the change to 9,600 baud get implemented for the IDF 540/440 selection? It will be the weekend...

Follow-up to the previous post: I received an email today from Avidyne technical support stating the ADS-B(Avi) serial output from the 540 is set at 9600 baud. They stated it works fine with the Avidyne AXP340 transponder, which is actually a Trig transponder. Sounds like 9600 is the place to...

When I set the IFD540 RS232 channel output to ADS-B(Avi) the serial data analyzer would not show any data until I selected the 38400 baud rate for input. For the IFD540 Aviation output mode, it looks like it is running at 9600 baud. I have attached two files of data I captured, the Aviation...

Got my SV-D1000 back from repair and finally upgraded the IDF540 SW to 10.1, however I am having no luck on getting the -261 transponder to see the ADS-B(Avi) serial data from the IDF540. I note in the -261 installation data the serial port speed is 19200 and from my previous testing using a...

Great news on why the -261 is not seeing the data from the IDF540 and that I will eventually have compliant solution with a SW upgrade. I was a bit surprised that a 'plug-in' replacement for a GNS530W does not have a Garmin ADS-B+ output format. The aviation data I am seeing has 'l' and 'w'...

The IFD540 is a plug-in replacement for a Gamin GNS530, same rack and connector pin assignments. The IFD540 has five configurable RS232 channels, I am trying to use channel 1 out in Aviation format for the SV-ARINC-429 GPS input and channel 2 out in ADS-B format for the SV-XPNDR-261 certified...

Have a SV1000 system with SV-XPNDR-261, GPS-250, ARINC-429, Avidyne IFD540 GPS NAV/COM and a Garmin GTR200 Comm. I am having a problem with the -261 seeing the RS232 IN on pin 3 from the IDF540 in either the aviation format or the ADS-B format. The GPS-250 input selection works fine and I see...
