That's essentially how I found it. Thanks formthe help. Vern

Well, the problem has been solved by some detailed wire tracing. Turns out that the SkyView #2 wiring harness had two wires crossed in the connector that plugs into the AXIS-25A. I had a stern discussion with the avionics guy who installed it recently and sent him home for a nap. Everything...

Zipped file sent. I also checked the behaviour with both screens with identical databases... problem still exists. I will check the serial port configuration to see if something got corrupted with the load of version 11.

I have one more thing to do... I need to load hires terrain on the second screen and try again. That's the only inconsistency between screens right now. Vern

Well, not sure about the Unexplored Southern Area (USA), but in Canada we get hexadecimal, octal and binary options as I recall, in both official languages. There are 10 people who understand binary: those that do and those that don't. Vern

Here's what I've found on high performance aircraft: Even though my elevator and aileron forces are light on my Harmon Rocket, the wide speed range of the aircraft can require a lot of pitch trim changes until the aircraft stabilizes in speed. If the autopilot is engaged too soon, the...

Sounds like the SkyView wants the hexadecimal equivalent of the CASA binary code. You can convert here: http://www.binaryhexconverter.com/binary-to-hex-converter or you can do it in your head if you've never had a social life :-) Vern

Up until release 11, frequency information sent from my Aera would be consolidated with freq info from the SkyView and sent to my SL-40. This was handy because the Aera automatically selects the nearest airport in flight, or the source, waypoint or destination on a flightplan. The SkyView...

The controller has been production released since Oshkosh. I have posted the installation guide for the autotrim controller here.  It's hard to find on the MakerPlane site. Thanks, Vern

OK, I'll ask the obvious question... What is the best option for a lipstick cam to be located inside a cowl nostril in a taildragger using the SkyView video adapter? Thx, Vern

A customer of ours, the NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center, is developing GPAS technology for general aviation. Their development platform using an android device with a high resolution terrain map, a two-axis autopilot and some advanced predictive and manoeuvring software. Ultimately...

The auto-trim version of this controller was announced at Oshkosh. It does not require the use of a Dynon AP controller and requires only space for a lighted pushbutton on the panel. It also provides trim switch failure detect/correct and will continue to operate (without auto-trim) if the EFIS...

So where does the EFIS Failure checklist go? Vern

That was the original design intent when i designed the original network hub (AXIS-9A) that Dynon so shamelessly copied. I also designed a 25 pin version (AXIS-25A) that connects all of the other SkyView pins together and connects to other avionics devices. I see AFS/Dynon have improved on...

Thanks, Jake. Of course, I'm furiously trying to stay one step ahead of Dynon.  How else are they going to figure out what to do unless I show them? ;-) Murray: thanks for the note. I hope to fly to The Moose Jaw area next year. It will be my first visit since ferrying an RV-7 2 yrs ago. 6...

I think I spent a total of $20 my BT installation in my Rocket which works just like my car system now.. Phone calls, music, Siri voice rcognition and so on. Of course, since I am a perfectionist, I then designed a circuit board with mic circuit, mixing circuit and quiet voltage regulator...

I recently released a SkyView compatible 2-axis auto-trim control, available on the MakerPlane website. In my opinion, auto-trim significantly reduces pilot workload during critical phases of flight and is therefore a safety enhancement. I fly an rv-9 and a Harmon Rocket, both of which are...

The announcement reads that only *new* SkyView screens will support video. Does that mean that existing installations are not supported for video? Thanks, Vern

+1. That would be very helpful. Vern

I stand corrected. The FLARM technology is what Europe is commonly using.
