    Two Flap Widgets

    Is it possible to have two flap widgets? Yeah, I know both flaps should be the same. Was thinking the flap widget would be handy for the cowl flaps. I can probably use a contact. It would show 0% 25% ... 100%. A bar widget is not so handy as it would just show the voltage of the position sensor...

    MAP sensor errors

    A couple of things that may be obvious. Your comparing a $70 sensor to a $1000 altimeter so there may be some difference. You're taking into account elevation (ie: 1" for every 1000' ASL). Finally are you using a regulated power supply for the sensor? c37p18 from the EMS.

    averaging some engine data

    Could also be a general grounding or power connection problem. The first graph below has a loose alternator connection. The second graph is after it was fixed. Much smoother EGT readings.

    MAP sensor errors

    I'll bite. Why would that be a problem?  :-?

    Local time on the display

    Saskatchewan is permanent DST. We should be in MST but pretend we're in CST. As a result we get dizzy watching other places set their clocks back and forth. I'm just guessing but cellular time is probably done at the tower. It's a fixed position and time zone. A moving object like an airplane...

    How To Limit Layout Options

    The swap idea for a single screen is a good one. I think this was discussed before. It was pointed out that some of the early products from Vertical Power would change the display depending on the current flight mode. While everyone has their preference, I like to have a familiar display in...

    AOA reset?

    The AOA can be set to start pulsing tones at the green/yellow border, mid yellow or yellow/red border. So if you can set it to start before the stall.

    Does The GPS 2020 Handle Signals other Than WAAS?

    The GLONASS and Galileo are just other GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) so they won't add any accuracy to your position. WAAS is just one of several SBAS systems. They do add accuracy to by broadcasting corrections for the satellite positions. They are geocentric satellites in that...

    Changing the fuel level widget to "height of bar"

    Dynon - Any of the widgets can be selected for the fuel level, but only the WIDGET_FUEL_BAR shows the black above the fuel level. Is it possible to get a WIDGET_FUEL_ARC or WIDGET_FUEL_HBAR to get a little variety in the fuel gauge?

    Changing the fuel level widget to "height of bar"

    If it is NOT available with the screen layout editor, it can be manually modified. Export your settings "SYSTEM SETUP>EXPORT SETTINGS" and look for the file with a .dfg extension on the USB drive. Open the file with your favorite text editor and search for the line "Layout_20={". In that...

    Servo Torque

    I've had problems with my pitch servo but no freezes. If you search for shear screw on this forum you will find that they do shear occasionally.

    Changing the fuel level widget to "height of bar"

    The only widget that works like that is the fuel_bar widget. It's vertical only. Just select the vertical bar style and see if it acts like the fuel bar.

    Shipping to Canada

    Vern One thing we can agree on is that shipping UPS or Fedex to Canada from USA is not a good option for us on the receiving end. Dynon is now aware of the problem. The online store tells me they don't ship to Canada but I had a very positive experience with Dynon sales on the telephone. Dynon...

    Shipping to Canada

    It's pretty simple Vern. Ship USPS. Most suppliers will if asked. I supplied a short list of some that do. Some companies just don't accept UPS or Fedex shipments from the USA. Scroll own near the bottom of this web page for shipping instructions. http://www.sdsefi.com/ Please note that there...

    Shipping to Canada

    It would be nice if you could ship USPS to Canada. I was charged $100 brokerage fees by UPS on a $1000 purchase. That is an extra 10%. If you ship by USPS I get charged less than $10 by Canada Post to handle the customs duties. Aveo, VANS and Allen's Fasteners all shipped by USPS Priority Mail...

    Rice Crispies sound coming from Skyview screens

    I'm just trying to determine where the noise is coming from. When you turn on SV you say you are getting crackling noise through the intercom. If the noise is generated by SV then it will also affect any radio near SV. So get a VHF handheld radio, hold it near SV and turn on SV. If there is no...

    Rice Crispies sound coming from Skyview screens

    If the handheld picks up the same rice crispies sounds then it narrows it down to a problem with the SV installation. If not then I would look at the intercom/radio for the problem. Turning on SV introduces the noise but it also could be a ground loop in the radio/intercom wiring causing the...

    Sidetone > 0 results in beacon/strobe noise

    Could be a ground loop. I used a different ground bar to ground the avionics. Ultimately they are connected to the same battery but slightly different circuits. Try grounding either the radio or the lights directly to the battery to see if that makes difference.

    Rice Crispies sound coming from Skyview screens

    Do you get the same sounds with a handheld?
