    Airport Symbols

    Is it possible to eliminate the round airport symbol when the runways are shown on the map? No need for two symbols and it blocks out the runways at a larger range. This is Jeppesen North America data. And yes it seems that the majority of small airports are missing from the data.

    Two Servos, one network cable

    I tapped into the cable running to the ADAHRS in the back of the plane and connected to the two servos from there. However, as mentioned on this forum we should be thinking about redundancy of the wiring. What happens if the cable is damaged (loose connection, etc.) at the tap in. In my case, I...

    ZAON XRX Pinout

    Here are the instructions from the purchased bare end cable. I connected the DATA wire to both my GPS495 and the SV.

    Skyview telephone interface

    I like the idea of utilizing the USB more, but most (non Dynon) devices I want to connect are serial. Perhaps Dynon could use USB for it's devices (SV-GPS-250, SV[ch8208]XPNDR[ch8208]26X, SV-COMM-33X, SV-TEL-33X, SV-KEYBOARD-40X, etc) to free up the serial ports. It's a simpler connection then...

    Skyview-to-Garmin GTX327

    I'd check the SV System Installation Guide - Altitude Encoder Calibration - page 11-14. Technically the encoder is in the SV, but for all intense purposes the xponder is made to only connect to the SV so you can say it has it's own encoder.

    Skyview-to-Garmin GTX327

    Looks good. The GPS 250 should be connected to both SV's also. You might want to leave the SV audio unconnected for now. I was getting a popping sound so I disconnected mine and it went away.

    v3.2 release date?

    I was happy with the old text but this looks good :). Not too chunky to make it cartoonish but it did loose a bit of elegance. Next time just make the screen bigger eh. 8-)

    Skyview-to-Garmin GTX327

    A device can only receive information from one source or the data stream get garbled. The exception is multiple SV as they arbitrate among themselves as to which is transmitting serial information and it only comes from one SV. You can on the other hand transmit serial data to several devices at...

    Skyview-to-Garmin GTX327

    Shouldn't the SV (TX) be sending altitude to the GTX327 (RX)? and if it is, can it be connected to both SV?

    Autopilot settings guide

    Just an update. I turned the sensitivity of the pitch servo from 12 to 15. The servo now keeps it closer to the target altitude so the magnitude of the pitch adjusted is smaller and the TRIM warning doesn't come on as much. Changing altitude does require trim adjustments but that I believe is...

    Headings off and erronious winds aloft.

    Probably the magnetic compass needs to be re-calibrated. I think they subtract ground track (GPS) from magnetic bearing and air speed to get winds aloft.

    Text Size. Please make it bigger !!

    I believe that is in the next release: http://dynonavionics.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1308499159/8#8

    Aircraft Exhaust Inc.

    I received my exhaust system from experimentalexhaust.com and it fits like a glove. For anyone that hasn't heard of them, they supply flanges off the cylinder and a collector pipe. You build a prototype from PVC or ABS and they build your exhaust system from that. If you can keep the length of...

    Computer setup of screens and settings.

    This has been discussed before. I think it's a great idea as the EMS screens are completely customizable. But until someone comes up with an application to read the EMS file and allow interactive modification on a computer we're stuck with SV editor or hand coding. :-/ See here...

    [Q] Help

    From the main menu of the SV press the SCREEN button. From there you can turn on and off the three pages available PDF PG | EMS PG | MAP PG. The Layout button lets you arrange them as you like.

    user waypoints from google earth

    I believe you need to download the new Dynon USR Export function and recreate the waypoints. You can then load them back in.

    txInterogate Emag ignitions

    Is this on the development list? or discussed yet? I realize that there are lots of more exciting stuff in development, but we probably don't need full interactive functionality here. Just a display of the firing angle and temperature would be nice. Modifying the P-MAG settings from SV isn't a...

    Fat Fuel Gauges

    Ahhh! Good idea. I made up some arc widgets for EGT/CHT but they aren't as readable as the normal EGT/CHT bar widget. You also can't select them to move or modify them. They need to be hand coded. Looks like I goofed on the ranges for CHT4 and EGT4. I also tried a zero thickness arc. It comes...

    Autopilot settings guide

    Bear - I have it trimmed and fiddle with it constantly but pitch is extremely sensitive on the early short coupled Glasairs. A little pressure on the stick is all that is required to change altitude and the pitch trim springs are fairly tight so I'm amazed at how well the AP altitude hold works...

    Autopilot settings guide

    True. If I ignore the TRIM warning it still seems to maintain the altitude. I've only done limited testing. I try and adjust the sensitivity and see if that helps.
