    Loading a Photo or custom chart/plate

    They’re just PNGs. I drew a penis on a buddy’s airport diagram on one of his usb sticks to mark his parking spot for him. I’m sure this probably invalidates the charts...

    We need to talk about the dimming problem

    Don, is there a way we can remove the sensor influence when using an external control? That would easily solve the problem for me. Also I’m not 100% sure but I think I see a difference in behavior if I turn the display on with internal battery before I hit ship power. Changing the minimum...

    Loading a Photo or custom chart/plate

    The plates are just images if you look at the data in the usb stick. I’m sure this isn’t legal but I’ve made backups to charts and added notes using ms paint...

    We need to talk about the dimming problem

    I’ve been working with Don on this and I think we believe it’s a software bug with 2 HDX networked together. If you turn 1 display off does the other dim all the way? And the other way around? hopefully Don can chime in but the bug was repeatable and I believe they are going to be talking...

    We need to talk about the dimming problem

    I actually built a custom LED controller that fits into a Dynon button panel hole. I’m using a PWM with a low pass filter to drive the dimming function off an AVR, regulated at 5v, so the variation isn’t a factor for me. I’ve used the push button on the encoder to toggle between no duty cycle...

The replacement and the old one don’t seem to have different behaviors, I’m happy to help any way I can to get this resolved. the Everglades are very dark and...

    We need to talk about the dimming problem

    I can get my panel and entire airplane down to only the HDX and D10. The HDX is by far the brightest. I have been playing with the autodim settings for the last 3 or 4 months but have never been happy with as dim as it got me so I put in the dimmer. Do you have 2 displays?

    We need to talk about the dimming problem

    I have been complaining to Dynon about this for a while, but at this point I don't have a lot of confidence in the code behind the dimming functions, to the point where now I believe it's a safety issue. I routinely fly over the everglades at night. So far I have never been able to get the...

    Can someone tell me how to convert this raw tach time number?

    That looks about right, and that's what I came up with based on a couple of tests, Thanks!

    IFD440 Direct to - No HITS

    When I build a flight plan everything is fine and normal and hit's works as expected. When the IFD is set up with a Direct To, For about a half a second I get HITS then it dissapears. Anyone have any thoughts?
