    Updating firmware issues

    If it's a windows system you are using, you need to eject the thumb drive or it may corrupt the file you are saving or copying to the thumb drive. In windows Explorer right click on the drive and choose Eject. You'll get a notification that it is safe to remove the hardware. You can safely...

    When Is New Dynon Software Going To Be Released

    Try deleting the gauge and adding it again. If you don't get the option for a fuel gauge you can hand code it. It would be nice if they added a FUEL_ARC and FUEL_HBAR in addition to FUEL_BAR widgets.

    Power-on and -off operations changed

    I hook a charger to the aircraft battery while I'm doing my annual. With all the electronic equipment (VP-X, EFII, P-Mags, etc) plus the Skyview system I spend some time installing updates and checking configurations during the annual so the Master is on quite a bit. Plus I do the annual Skyview...

    Lightspeed III Ignition Advance on Skyview

    Yes. Add it to the SFG file and load it into SV. If you want 2.5v to equal 25 BTDC (10x) then c_x1=1 needs to be c_x1=10 Also you need to increase the max_val=5.0 to max_val=50.0 For some reason (I can't remember) PRESSURE works better than VOLTS. See Vern definition above. You would just...

    Savvy Analysis Advice

    I believe every time you update the software OR change the configuration file (change the ENGINE display settings) Skyview creates a new USER_LOG_DATA_PART file. They are numbered. Unless you are looking for something specific that happened in the last 15 minutes of the last flight then the...

    Two Flap Widgets

    Skyview seems to only be able to calibrate flap and trim positions plus fuel levels. And Dynon is correct in that there can only be one FLAP position sensor. But there is a way to add position sensors besides the predefined ones. It just takes a little hand coding. In the SFG file I added COWL...

    Resolution of Gauge Values

    So we solved this problem - or at least have a hack. It appears the fuel gauges don't adhere to the settings in the sensor (SFG) file. The other gauges seem to as I reset the resolution of the POSITION by changing the settings file from round=.1 to round=1 Tenths of a gallon may be a reasonable...

    Continuous Squelch Noise With SV-1000 Display On

    Re: Continuous Squelch Noise With SV-MAG Displays On Sounds like a grounding loop. The ground for the SV display may be going through the audio system. Check the grounding for the screen that is causing the noise. It could be a loose connection or bad crimp. Quick way would be to pull the...

    sensor configuration

    Windows or Apple? In Windows use the SaveAs and add the extension to the filename. If the extension are not displayed search for "hide extensions" on the Internet for instructions to show them. Not an Apple guy but searching for "apple computer saveas" had some instructions.

    External Dimmer Pin 25 and 26

    Same here. My GPS495 doesn't dim although it changes to night mode. Not really a panel device though.

    External Dimmer Pin 25 and 26

    I'd like to thank HomeBuilt101 for asking the question, Vern for supplying an answer and Dynon for having the foresight to build the function into the Skyview. I had the panel out for other things so I built a gizmo according to Vern's instructions. I have eleven RockRack switches that draw...

    Autopilot hunted 4 degrees in TRK-ALT mode

    When I was working on one of my google projects someone sent me this flight path. When I asked him if that is the way the plane flew he said it did. What it was, is that the GPS source he was using was truncating the lat/long positions. Upload your data to SavvyAnalysis and have a look at the...

    Resolution of Gauge Values

    The settings file has the same settings for the resistive and capacitive fuel level sensors. resolution=0 round=1 Yet the smaller tank shows the fuel level in 1/10's of a litre while the larger tank shows to the nearest litre. Is there a way to set the resolution of the value for...

    Autopilot hunted 4 degrees in TRK-ALT mode

    The level uses the ADAHRS gyro to fly with zero pitch and zero roll angles. TRK follows a path on the ground and probably uses the compass. Was the compass calibrated?

    Legacy Fuel and Oil Pressure Indications Way Off

    In adding the new screen could it be possible that the settings file was altered to change the senors or sensor definitions for those two gauges?

    How To Limit Layout Options

    HomeBuilt101 Dynon suggested it before but I didn't clue in until a couple days ago. If you want the nested MAP/RPM gauges you can easily import them into your ENGINE display. Copy the lines below, save them as a TXT file with the extension .DFG. In Skyview press buttons 7 and 8 to get to the...
