    Dynon Transponders and ADS-B in Canada

    The production TBX App is now available for the huVVer-AVI. This converts a stock huVVer-AVI into a tailBeaconX control head. The App and documentation is available here: www.huvver.tech/huvver-avi-tbx-app/ The huVVer-AVI device is available from MakerPlane. Currently it is preloaded with...

    HDX Audio Out

    You can just wire for mono, but who knows what features Dynon may introduce that require stereo later on. For example, if Dynon introduces their version of the OnSpeed flight energy management system, stereo audio is an important requirement. In fact, one of the issues we've experienced with...

    D1000 to GMA 340 volume deafening.

    You really don't need the series resistor.... the output impedance of the SkyView allows you to put a terminating resistor to ground to knock the level down. I used 50 ohms, but YMMV. Nothing wrong with the voltage divider technique... it just costs $0.02 more. And here is a sneak preview...

    Power constraint for software updates

    I have a circuit for ground powering the EFIS with an external power supply. It also allows charging of the backup battery. It is breaker protected and the relay prevents any backfeed. http://www.vx-aviation.com/sprocket/photos/panel_elec/schematics-2/AV.pdf

    Dynon Transponders and ADS-B in Canada

    Well, here is some good news. I have developed a tailBeacon/SkyBeacon control head that will talk to Dynon D1x or SkyView systems to obtain serial altitude information, add in transponder configuration and control the uAvionix devices. The control head is a HuVVer-AVI device from MakerPlane...

    D1000 to GMA 340 volume deafening.

    Use 50 ohm resistors on the audio lines to ground. And yes, it's written somewhere. This will also reduce any noise from the SV. Turn up the volume on the SV after you make this mod. VV

    Dynon Transponders and ADS-B in Canada

    Basically, don't take off or land anywhere in the civilized portion of Canada by 2026? And don't fly over the mountains. This is, in effect, a mandatory equipment upgrade, without the subsidies that Americans received with their cut-over to ADS-B.

    Dynon Transponders and ADS-B in Canada

    For over $16,000, this is not a reasonable solution... and there is no software integration with Dynon. The uAvionix solutions are about the same cost as Dynon's existing transponders, but support space-based ADS-B out. The only thing missing is the SkyView integration. But as I have pointed...

    Dynon Transponders and ADS-B in Canada

    So, it's now official: Dynon (SkyView) has NO TRANSPONDER SOLUTION for Canadian aircraft under construction. I have been pestering them for years on this issue, and I did get a vague promise that they will have a solution. Now, it is clear that we (Canadian builders) will have to pursue a...

    HDX Audio Alerts - Only Very Faint

    The SkyView audio may be connected into a muting stereo input on the PS Engineering panel. There will be a button push to enable/disable this function. A call to Advanced Panels will be in order.

    Rpm jumping about and reading very high on take off

    Check all of your plug gaps and wire connections for integrity. If there is a problem there, you’ll have trouble finding the right resistor value. The IO540 is worse because there are more cylinders and more opportunities for problems.

    Audio Warnings for Single Seat Aircraft - No Audio Panel or Intercom

    You don’t need a mixer. Put a 300 ohm resistor on the Comm output and connect the l&r audio from the SkyView to the other side of the resistor. Your headset will also connect to this point.

    Dynon Transponders and ADS-B in Canada

    It's not just Canada. It's most every country except the USA that will be using space-based ADS-B. There is no downside from mounting a diversity transponder. In fact, it provides superior ship-to-ship traffic detection (hence the dual mode Dynon ADSB-472). Since the diversity transponder...

    Dynon Skyview Airspeed Stream from WiFi

    I have release an avionics product that uses the SkyView WiFi serial streaming. The huVVer-AVI devices are available from MakerPlane, and details are on my www.huVVer.tech web page. Good news is that the code is open-source so you can see how I implemented it. Works well, and devices have...

    New Back Seat Display

    https://store.makerplane.org/huvver-avi-aircraft-instrument/ It's one of the pages selectable on the device. The thresholds are programmable for your airplane. Fly your airplane at different AOAs and record the digital AOA information on the huVVer-AVI screen compared to the chevron display on...
