I operate on the opposite principle - the information needs to flow FROM the devices with small glass screens TO the device with big glass. I run an IFD440 because after programming the route, everything else happens on the HDX - no need to pay for more glass on the IFD that won't get used.

Yup, that's pretty much the accurate picture.

Another vote for the Princeton converters, they worked much better for me.

Another thing to consider is if you have either screen in "setup" mode, it will inhibit all audio messages for both screens until the setup mode is exited. I discovered this while doing some troubleshooting and watching raw data coming into the EMS module and realized I was getting alerts on the...

This is an alternator regulator issue. It's quite possibly the "voltage sense line" for the regulator has some slight resistance (poor connection) so it not seeing full system voltage, and that makes it push the alternator harder to supply power, which raises the true system voltage. With an...

Yep, diplexer - there is a difference.

Were you on ground power during the calibration or battery power alone? Ground power, like a battery charger, will pulse voltage on/off into the battery on some models, resulting in a higher or lower system voltage over a cycle period of many seconds - this will change the amount of current...

It's not a fault of your aircraft - it's the ground system not keeping track of your aircraft during maneuvering. When that happens the ground systems assume you are going straight on the last reported heading and speed, forecasts that forward in time as a "coast" target, and then when you get...

Yes, now you are on it. It is the larger of the two blank boxes just to the right of your HSI.

Do you have a separate magnetometer for the system, or are you using the built-in magnetometer in the ADAHRS?

I hear what you're saying - but I don't see Garmin having the same problem pushing new hardware through FAA approval. Something doesn't add up here.

Yeah, no, sorry you lost me there. It's more than 5 YEARS after the promised autotrim, and I still have no autotrim. You don't get to pass that off to the FAA. They are slow, but not that slow.

I feel like we've already covered this.

Well there you go - belt AND suspenders, if that's your thing.

Physically? Yes. Legally? No. The trim motors have always been there, but it's the STC for it that is lacking. I'm perfectly aware what the Dynon marketing says - but marketing and reality are not the same when it comes to the autotrim functionality. It needs the Trimamp module and it will...

I suspect you might have a problem with the USB stick you are using. Try an 8GB stick formatted for FAT32.

You'll need to perform a servo calibration as well. Once that is done you should have full AP control.

Section 5, specifically page 5-72, of the current user manual available FREE from this very same website. Imagine that! Free! It's like they wanted people to actually, you know, READ IT or something, I dunno...

Damnit! This is why we can't have nice things, right here...

I built all my own cables as well, using twisted pair instead of shielded for the network connections, no issues in just over 3000 hours and 4 different airplanes. I'm not thinking there is a real need for shielded over twisted pair, as long as you keep your data cables separated from heavy...
