    firmware updates for 2013

    It's a quick and easy way to intercept final without having to plan the route beforehand with waypoints. See explanation here. http://dynonavionics.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1317429098/#63

    Disengage/CWS Switch - (on)off(on)?

    Should work. The AP just needs a momentary ground to disengage. An (on) off (on) switch should go back to OFF position.

    Dynon and MGL V6 transceiver

    Aircraft Spruce. I believe the part number is 11-02694 - Power Data Cable. Works for 296 to 496

    Skyview display polarization

    Where polarized glasses come in handy is checking for rocks below the water surface - marine or air maneuvers. ;)

    Dynon and MGL V6 transceiver

    From the information on the web site it appears that the MGL V6 radio will communicate with a Garmin portable GPS device similar to the iCOM A210 and Garmin SL30/40 radios. If you connect the MGL V6 to your Garmin GPS device then: [list bull-blacksq]If your are near an airport or have a flight...

    Why 2 tachometer inputs?

    Yes - you can set the pulse individually for each input. SETUP MENU > EMS SETUP > ENGINE INFORMATION

    EMAG-P TACH Wring

    Best way is to use wire 6 from the E-MAG to the EMS rather than using the p-lead (wire 4). Wire 6 is made to supply a pulse to an EFIS. You don't need the resistors mentioned in the Skyview Installation manual. The left E-MAG wire 6 is connected to EMS pin 32 and the right E-MAG wire 6 is...

    RED CUBE fuel flow calibration number?

    Check page 7-41 of the Installation Manual for recommendations for installation of the red cube fuel flow sensor. It recommends against 90 degree fittings on the fuel flow sensor to avoid turbulence but the fuel line will need bends and elbows in the normal installation. You also don't want to...

    Capacitance Fuel Senders

    The probe I got from Princeton had both the probe and convertor so they may not work if you already have a probe in the tank. http://www.aircraftspruce.ca/catalog/inpages/princefuelprobes.php

    Pin 1 D37 EMS 220

    VP-X supplies the system voltage to Skyview so the EMS D37 pins 1 and 2 are redundant when you have VP-X. However, you can still use the EMS D37 pins 1 and 2 to read the voltage instead of VP-X or at other places. If you have an auxiliary battery or emergency bus you could use the EMS pins to...

    Emag Temperature Monitoring

    A bit off topic, but thanks for asking David. Once the throttle is full forward for takeoff it just stays there. All my EGT probes are fried so I don't pay much attention to them. I'll replace them at annual. The mixture is managed by electronic fuel injection. At cruise RPM the air fuel ratio...

    Serial Ports Maxed Out ?

    The SV-GPS-250 doesn't use the Skyview TX port so you can use that port to feed NMEA data to the ELT. The problem is the SV-GPS-250 runs at 38,400 baud. Both TX and RX on the same port have to run at the same speed. You may want to look at a second GPS source anyhow. The iCOM A210 doesn't send...

    Emag Temperature Monitoring

    The E-mags and P-Mags output serial data which can be read with the EICAD program (available on the E-Mag site) and displays a temperature. I don't believe it's that accurate but it's a measure to gauge. I believe it remembers the highest temp so you can read it on the ground after a flight. I...

    ul260i warning light question

    I assume that you just want to have Skyview display a warning and eliminate the LED. I did that with my ECU. The ECU grounds the wire when there is an error the same as your FADEC computer. You can use any general purpose pin on the EMS. See list of pins on page 7-7. Use a contact widget. See...

    Capacitance Fuel Senders

    I installed the Princeton capacitive fuel probe and while I don't recall the procedure exactly, you need to map the sensor to the pin in the SETUP MENU > EMS SETUP > SENSOR INPUT MAPPING before the WIDGET will appear in the SCREEN LAYOUT EDITOR. See page 7-42 of Installation manual. In the...

    New Installation Question

    If you are connecting to the network hub, the screens will be connected together.

    Skyview powers up intermittently

    I don't believe you need the backup battery to power up Skyview. However, having it stops SV from rebooting when the starter draws the voltage too low for SV to run during a start. So it's a benefit to have a backup battery so that you can see the oil pressure right away rather than having to...

    Request for additional Audio Alerts be added

    I can appreciate that the audio alerts are good wake up calls but considering that you can stall at any speed the AOA is a better device to have for that purpose. I have my GPS495 connected to the the audio in addition to the SV. It has an audio alert of "500 feet" on approach to any airport it...

    Planning New Installation

    Dynon has the a diagram on page 2-6 of the Installation manual. Seven feet is within their limits.

    Top bar on Skyview will not show Squawk Code

    The early GTX327 needs a firmware upgrade to work. See this thread: http://dynonavionics.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1295207260/9#6
