Marc, Yes, it was definitely not something i want to repeat. And I was in VMC when it occurred. I can imagine a very different outcome if it had happened when IMC on an approach...

Marc, I found your concern about the A/P intriguing. Might I ask, in your opinion, do you not trust that you can override the servos in that situation? I did have an incident about two years ago, right after I first installed the autopilot, that might be relevant. I had installed an A/P...

Thanks! Yes, all I am doing is dimming the Skyview HDX display. I have very limited panel space, and the SV-KNOB-DIMMER is too large to fit anywhere. And, at just $10, the potentiometer from Amazon sure beats the price of the SV-KNOB-DIMMER from Dynon ($90).

Yes, I will try the 10K one first, it's only $10 from Amazon. Dynon Tech support is shut down for the holidays until early January. Thanks for your help! - and Happy New Year!

Rhino, I'm getting a pot to use for this, but they come in a variety of maximum resistances, from 100 ohms up to 100k ohms. What size should I use? Assuming that when the pot is all the way counter-clockwise, it is at 0 ohms and will output 12 volts, I would imagine that as you turn it...

Marc, Your last post, (as well as Swatson999s), as you both suggested, does indeed clarify things. My mistake was assuming that SA approach plates are the same as Garmin Approach plates. If you actually made that point in an earlier post, and I missed it or did not get the message, again, my...

Marc,⁶ Yes, you did answer several of my questions, and I thank you that. I guess I had three questions in my original post. First - how does it work? Specifically, if the same approach plate was loaded in SA and in the GPS175 Which would it use? Second if it works as it does (as you...

I'll only say it once, and then, if anyone else posts irrelevant comments here, you can continue among yourselves. The GPS175 IS a certified IFR navigator. So any and all comments pointing out the obvious fact that Skyview, with only the SV-GPS-2020, is not a certified IFR navigator either did...

Marc, Thanks, I was afraid of that. Next question, you may not know, but will drive my next steps. Is the reason that SkyView is coded this way simply because when originally released, it did not have a certified IFR navigator, and therefore had no way to utilize the capability to parse the...

I have Dynon HDX, SV-GPS-2020, Dynon autopilot, and a Garmin GPS175 certified IFR navigator hooked up to the Skyview with SV-ARINC-429. I subscribe to Seattle Avionics with for all IFR data, including all IFR approach plates. Since all published approaches are published with expiration dates...

Ken, As I think I understand it, I think what you were trying is not possible. The Vega/N16 system, in Scan mode, can still only send one signal, (from the primary nav source), over the SL30 interface to Skyview. The scan mode just causes the N16 to rapidly switch back and forth from the...

Ken, question for you... When shooting an ILS, if you have the system in Scan mode, with a VOR in the Vega secondary frequency, can you simultaneously monitor the bearing to the VOR on the Vega while you execute the ILS on the HDX (Skyview)?

If I understand what you're asking, the nearest, (and smallest), thing would be the MGL Vega control head ($265), hooked up to the MGL remote Nav radio N16 ($790). It hooks up to a Skyview RS-232 port and you can see VOR, localizer, and ILS glide slope indications on the Dynon HDX or Skyview...

Yes, I think I got it. I have the Dynon SV-XPNDR-261 Transponder (with ADS-B Out) with SV-GPS-2020 GPS, and the Dynon ADS-B In, so I am not using the RS232 line on the GPS175 that would be used to send GPS Position information to a Transponder. I am only using the GPS175s Navigation data to...

Am I correct that adding the Garmin GPS175 using an SV-ARCINC-429 communicates with the HDX completely through the Skyview Network and does not use one of the five serial ports?

Why can't it see exFAT? Dies this require a hardware or just a software update?

Not yet, and I have not tried using the Offset Dim page in the menu either. I know about them and would use them, but at night, I want to have the capability to tweak it with a knob inflight without going through a menu.

Rhino, Thanks so much. Now it all makes sense. The EXTERNAL BRIGHTNESS VOLTAGE and MINIMUM BRIGHTNESS VOLTAGE settings tell the HDX display what range of voltages will be input on pin 25, representing the desired range of brightnesses. This allows the use of an external potentiometer in...

Rhino, In the Installation manual, on page 4-39, it says "The brightness level of SkyView and Dynon Avionics panel units can be increased or decreased by applying 0 to 36 volts DC to a SkyView display’s DIM INPUT (Pin 25)". on pg 15-29, it says that the SV-KNOB-DIMMER violet wire should...

I cannot see my screen at night as it is too dim. I need to use an external dimmer as described in installation manual on pgs . But I have a Rutan Long EZ, with very limited panel space, so first question is how big is the SV-KNOB-DIMMER? Is it the same size as the other panels, like intercom...
