I wouldn't think this is just the issue or if it is, it’s a real fault in the design intention or coding. Just to make clear, at the time I am manually flying not on AP on Nav Steering mode so it’s not relying on a slow Nav turn. The start point of the magenta line is up to about 3 or 4 miles...

Have had my sky view HDX with knob panel and Auto Pilot panel installed for maybe 18 months or so. Till now I have had the AP set up in simple mode and no problems. Yesterday decided to step it up to Expert mode. Did that OK. Now notice a couple of things: 1. When I press direct to command...

Thanks djones. yep always a cross wind from the right.

Thanks David. The cables are dynon Cables but as best I recall they only come with one plug on them And installer to attach the other to allow for variation in size requirements. I can’t remember exactly how much if any that ADHARS Cable needed chopping off To fit. but I can probably re-rout...

Hi All. I have noticed a few issues and need some advice on them. I have a Skyview HDX with autopilot, knob panel and autopilot panel, a network hub in a Jabiru. Installed it all a year ago and some issues have been present whole time and other have started more recently. Most are intermittent...

Hi russp Thanks for that. That looks like it will do the trick. I could only find one for the original skyview not the HDX but I am presuming it will be pretty much the same. Should be able to work it out from there. Cheers

I need to delete some of the widgets on the bottom engine bar. I have the downloaded Jabiru 3300 engine file installed on my HDX but I don't have some of the things that are shown and I need the space and would like to delete their widgets. Eg. I don't have electronic fuel gauges (I have glass...

Ok that explains a few things but leaves another to be addressed ( that I was going to chase later) My system thinks it's travelling a 17 knots. The ADAHRS unit is sitting on the window sill with the test cable ( Dynon supplied one) connecting it to the display. ( Also has the oat probe...

Sorry I thought I had outlined the events better. Battery will and does charge on big enough bench power supply - which I have (20 amp output). Battery test sequence followed and worked/entered correctly first. But aborted because ( as only becomes obvious during a test) it showed...

As a follow on to the above. I let the HDX run on backup battery and checked it intermittently. It ran for about an hour before stopping. I assume that means the battery is OK despite the inability to test it. The surprising thing is that I repeated the attempt to do the initial test and...

I have my new HDX setup on the bench. I have connected up the battery and got the messages that a battery test was needed. I got into the battery status page which said that a battery was detected, previous shutdown was normal, a test had not been done and was needed and that the battery was...

Step 1. Prove it’s not positioning and reading true temp.   Unscrew the probe from skin of aircraft & pull it inside and run again. If the new temp doesn’t change to 64 then the problem is it’s getting engine heat and you need to change probe location. If it still changes to 64, it’s a dynon...

After posting the above I rechecked the autopilot. It seems to be working ( on the ground at least - makes all the right noises and joystick moves as usual) So looks like it may be just the screen has died.

Need advice about a problem. Essentially my D180 flicked into a grey screen while flying today and that's all I get. Background- was flying and engaged autopilot ( all Dynon components AP74, servos etc) - oil temp became erratic. Turned off autopilot and temp stablized. Did a few rechecks...

Hi DS Thanks for that. It's been a few weeks since I have had a chance to do anything with the aircraft or the Dynon. Ok on sending it back. The issue I guess is that it's a 12 year old device and I am reluctant to go spending much on it if at the end of the day it remains a 12 year old device...

Hi Dynon Support I've gone through the AP74 brightness controller and disabled it as well as enabled and changed the numbers. They can be changed from if I recall a low number right up to about 999 ( forget exactly what but somewhere about that. But doesn't make any difference to the brightness...

Hi Jake. With regards the dark screen. The issue seems to be evolving. Today when I turned it on in the dark hangar it was quite dark and gradually over about two minutes brightened up. Never took it out into the daylight at all. WRT earthing through an alternate earth. It runs constantly...

My apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but my search turned up a blank. I have a D180 attached to an AP74 and two AP servos. I have just reinstalled them after a cabin refurbish and now the screen is really dark. All attempts to make it brighter ( less dim) using the on screen...

Thanks Found it.

I tried resetting the data logs. It deleted the previous files. But the new files carried the same error pattern. I've read somewhere in the manual that I can change the data recording rate but now can't find it again. I recall it was somewhere a bit tangential. I found it by chance. As...
