    Compass Calibration Problems

    This is solved. I did the compass test on top of the ADAHRS and got different readings. The compass on top had correct readings. I really didn't want to have to send the ADAHRS back and ground my plane so I did do some further scouting with the compass and found out that the bolts I used to...

    Skyview startup screens, interfacing with TXP/GPS

    Re: Skyview startup screens, interfacing with TXP/ I agree - awsome product. I have the Dynon GPS hooked up plus my 495. The Dynon GPS is a POS1 device and the 495 is a GPS1 device. The 495 drives the HSI while the Dynon GPS only supplies position information for the synthetic vision. It...

    skyview dirty rf ...testing... resolved.

    I installed the filters yesterday with the same results. I didn't wait for Dynon to let us know they were ready - would have been nice to have some notice that they were available. I purchased mine directly from L-COM. The radio is now nice and quiet. I was flying the plane before I installed...

    Electical System Intergation

    Good points, but consider this: When I toggle the switch for the landing light, the light turns on or off - discrete component or integrated components (alternator/battery/breaker/switch/light) with a single function. It works well for what it was designed for. I wired my GPS495 to my iCOM 210...

    Compass Calibration Problems

    I'm pretty sure it's installed correctly. I used installation guide and the pictures on this forum as a guide to mount it. If the aluminum mount is not a problem, I'll start looking for magnetic interference. I don't think I did a proper compass check where I mounted it. Now that I think about...

    Compass Calibration Problems

    I had my first flights since the panel rebuild. The SV display is just fantastic. I'm still hunting for info and noticing new things every time I go up but starting to get more comforatble and familiar with it. I tried to do my compass calibration today but found out that I can only go in two...

    RPM/MAG Problem

    I solved this although not sure how. I checked the wiring and D37 pins were connected to the same side of the toggle switches as the P-Leads so they was connected directly to the MAG. I inadvertently pulled a wire out of one connector while messing with the wiring so had to redo the connection...

    Computer tool for setting up EMS screens?

    How do the sizes and offsets in the N#####_VER_ems_FILENAME.dfg file relate to the screen? For instance in the Layout_20 a widget has an x and y offset. It looks like they are related to the height of the screen where the height is 100. Is it the same relationship for both the seven and ten inch...

    Computer tool for setting up EMS screens?

    Thanks - I also can't make it a priority right now but the idea that it's open to experiment makes it intriguing.

    Computer tool for setting up EMS screens?

    I had a quick look through the N#####_VER_ems_FILENAME.dfg with the idea of writing something along the lines of what stephen is requesting as while the interface is slick, it's frustrating slow to work with. Most of the file is easy enough to decipher although I haven't spent the time to...

    Electical System Intergation

    I agree. Since 95% of accidents are pilot error there is not a lot of reason to allow the system add it's 5% to make that a 100% error rate. I'm having a difficult time understanding why a switch and relay guy would be perusing the Skyview system as it's all about automation. There isn't a...

    RPM/MAG Problem

    Thanks - I'll check the wire for connectivity from the MAG to the 37 pin D37 connector. I have to remove the display to install the filters when they are ready anyhow.

    RPM/MAG Problem

    The RPM drops to zero when I switch the left MAG off. (Lycoming O-320). I used toggle switches, bought the 30kohm resistors at an electronics shop and connected the P-leads to pins 32 (white/green) and 33 (white/blue). The resistors are connected to the same side of the toggle switch as the...

    Boot error problem

    Just an update on this. I was showing the panel a couple of nights ago and the altitude worked fine every time I turned it on. The reason I was on this topic was because of a boot problem. The error I got was "Corrupt or missing storage device. Contact Dynon etc." This error I'm sure was when I...

    Boot error problem

    I was able to capture the phenomenon this morning but the file is 500MB and the zipped file is 180MB. Here is a link to it: http://www.digitalmapping.sk.ca/alt.zip

    Boot error problem

    Same here. I was thinking of videoing it, but it never happened again.  I'll be out on the weekend and will see if I can capture the phenomenon if it happens again. Aren't computers great. They dazzle you when they're working and again when they're not.

    Re: skyview dirty rf ...testing... Thanks guys. It looks like that almost eliminates a wiring problem. Lets us know how the antenna relocation works. My antenna is under the pilots seat so it's within a couple of metres of the Skyview.
