That's not a bad plan, but likely not necessary - notice that the last "new gadget" Dynon released (which is the Comm radio) carries two D9 ports that act as a passthru - so a spare port is not really required. The "next gadget" will almost certainly be an add-on with passthru ports.

Contact your local EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) chapter and join up with them - you'll almost certainly find several folks there who can show you the way.

It's certainly do-able, but not easy. You'll want a deadband of servo torque centered on null where no trim inputs are made (just let the servo handle it), and then your active bands on either side would need to move the servo (maybe even 2 or 3 different speeds, using PWM, depending on how far...

I put in a circuit breaker for the servo power (no VPX in my plane), but that was simply to protect from an overcurrent scenario.

Skyview will follow the vertical navigation data supplied by a certified unit - it does not create that data itself.

The dynon data bus uses two pair of wires for redundancy - this 4/8 fault is telling you that something is wrong with the pair of wires that connect to pins 4 and 8 of the 9-pin DB9 connector. The system will continue to operate on the other pair, it's just a notice that one pair is...

I don't know about Skyview-specific, but you could always take the audio alert output of your CO monitor and plug it into one of the audio inputs on your audio panel.

My setup is dual 10" Skyviews with the full Dynon suite of accessories. I have the servos, ADAHRS, and transponder connected to the #2 (right) screen, with that screen plugged into the Dynon 5-port bus where I've got the left #1 screen, ARINC, EMS tied into, all running 5.1 software. The...

And while we're at it - do NOT use Teflon tape. Use the liquid PTFE paste, usually available in the plumbing section of any decent hardware store.

That sure sounds like an open invitation for someone to develop a 3rd party device to handle that task... ;)

Any update on when these will be ready for order/ship? I finally got power on my entire panel this weekend, except for your comm radio.

Nothing of the sort - checklists are a good thing and I use one - but some/many/most items (depending on a pilots level of understanding of mechanics, physics, aerodynamics, and situation awareness) are common-sense items or memory items. People have varying degrees of ability to cope in a...

Yes, but think of all that wasted panel space! You clearly need some more electronics to put in there! 8-)

Mine takes 4-5 seconds after powerup before I see anything on the screen - are you possibly just not waiting long enough after powerup?

In general I would agree with Paul - but we need to remember that not all pilots are made equally. There's an average, an upper, and a lower. Some people need checklists to fly a kite. Still, I think the printed and laminated paper checklist would be the best option for those wanting one. That...

Dynon - the borders of your bodies of water - are those at some historical "snapshot" in time or are they floodstage or conservation stage or something else?

Startup checklist item.

Kudos to Dynon - and also a good reason to have low-amperage breakers rather than fuses, more likely to be noticed when they trip.

Would it be possible to have a computed Mach number to set as a barber pole on the airspeed tape, since this is what drives flutter characteristics?

Pick a nice VFR day, and turn it off ships power while flying. I don't know about you but I don't need much of an excuse to go flying, and this gives you a real-world-conditions test just as you would have in a legitimate power-out scenario. Just make sure you are ready to dead-reckon your way...
