    Help with custom sensor definition

    The pins you use depends on the type of transducer you are using and the output it provides.  My UMA pressure transducer outputs a voltage.  It is powered by the aircraft power buss, not SV.  The best choice for me was the "Type C" input.  You should be able to use the Type A for most pressure...

    Help with custom sensor definition

    Tim, It has been a while since I have added my pressure sensor but this is what I remember: Export your current USER files to usb stick and put them on your computer  The .SFG file is the sensor definition file.  Open this file with Windows notepad or any text editor. I added a hydraulic...

    EGT Probes burned through

    I have used the Electronics International EGT probes with excellent results. Over 1400 hours and no damaged probes on my Glasair w/ Lyc IO360. These are noticeably heaver / thicker than other companies. The only difference you may notice is they are slower to respond.

    Turbine N1 and N2

    Bill, I agree with you 100%.  If the SV tach inputs can be split into 2 independent measurements and can accept an Input of 12KHz (9897 Hz + 10% + margin for worst case of N2 ) will be the easiest to accomplish.  This will also be the most accurate hands down. It starts to get complicated if you...

    High RPM

    Check your setting of the PULS/REV R and L values as described in the Engine Information Section. Value depends on # of cyl's and type of ignition.

    Turbine N1 and N2

    I see a few issues that most likely only Dynon will be able to answer : What is the maximum input frequency to the Tach inputs? Manual say max RPM displayed is 9,999RPM but you can scale to % to get around this. What is the max Pulses per Rev you can input in SV? you need 115 (N1) and 297...

    Software update

    Has anyone with 15.3.3 tried to upload their flight log data to Savvy? I tried several times and got an error on the "USER_LOG" file.

    Protection for EMS220/221 contact GP input

    With the circuit you provided you want to install a diode.  With the door switch open you are basically feeding the EMS input with 12V through the relay coil.  The diode will provide isolation / very high impedance from this. With the diode installed the EMS signal will "Pull-up" to the 5 volts...

    FLY Q V 3.0 users and Skyview

    This is the reply I got from Seattle Avionics's Steve Podradchik: "Hi Kurt. Yes we just became aware of this and have already fixed it for the next release. We did test the Dynon support before release but a change was made after the test that, unexpectedly, caused the problem. Love to get you...

    FLY Q V 3.0 users and Skyview

    I normally would not use this forum for this problem but in case I am not the only Skyview driver that is using Seattle Fly-Q. I would recommend that you DO NOT UPDATE TO VERSION 3.0 I updated to FLY Q EFB 3.0 and flew with it for the 1st time. It will lock up or abort immediately when it...

    Android Apps that work with SV

    Has anyone had any luck with any Android App (Samsung tablet) that will connect and display traffic and weather from the SV? I am currently using the NAVIATOR app but I am unable to get any traffic or weather via wi-fi connection. I have e-mailed Naviator a couple times and they have never...

    While Flying a voice alert "Engine Monitor"

    Either have a VP-X fault or a Custom Engine parameter is out of range. You may be able to get more info from your alert log. Check the SV Pilot User Guide, last section.

    ILS Backcourse

    Select the "Front side" course with the CRS knob. This is one of the functions of the LH SV knob "CRS" . Select CRS with the LH knob and rotate until correct course is on the arrow head. You set the inbound course after you select and load the desired approach. Press the OBS button on 430 to...

    Transponder Warning Message

    I dont know for sure but I know that DPSK in a communication system means Differential Phase Shift Keying. This is a modulation technique that is used in digital transmitters / receivers. I suspect if you are getting this error you will have to contact DYNON and most likely send it back for...

    Fuel Pressure with Engine/fuel Pump Off

    It is possible to adjust the C0 term in the calibration to shift the offset but I would not recommend this. Unless you have the ability to perform a sensor calibration to check the other terms, this is a 3rd order polynomial you will be getting bad data. Is the sensor output repeatable. Bad...

    Fuel Pressure with Engine/fuel Pump Off

    The numbers you show "Raw" is the raw count 12 bit system = 0 to 4095 counts, Volts is the equivalent voltage @ (0.00122V/count) and the Value is with the calibration coefficients applied (EU's or Engineering Units, PSI).  Based on these numbers it looks like your sensor is bad.  To verify, you...

    Incorrect AMPS reading.

    Anna, Looking at your engine gauges i noticed the Manifold pressure reading 2.6 inHg, Oil pressure and Temp "X"ed out. even if you are on Dynon internal battery you should see real data on these. Is this a flying aircraft? Has this ever worked? Has the EMS been fully configured? You may...

    Incorrect AMPS reading.

    The AMP input is a differential amplifier input.  So, if you short those two wires together (C37 P24/25) this will force the input to 0 volts.  The SV should display 0 Amps with two wires shorted together.  If not then the EMS is bad.  If it displays 0 Amps then you have something miss-wired...

    EMS Issue

    Check the following posting. It looks like you are experiencing the same thing I experienced when I had a regulator failure. See post #9 for a schematic to help protect against this. But anytime you connect the shunt between alternator and circuit breaker you may expose the shunt / EMS to...
