I swear I saw a version 2 of the SkyView ADAHRS sentence. In fact, I documented in an Excel spreadsheet and coded it into the OnSpeed display and a test pattern generator. Now, I can't find the Dynon source document for this anywhere! Please direct me in the right direction. Vern

I used a 25 pin d-sub (solder cup version) to distribute the 5V bias supply in my rocket. FMI http://www.vx-aviation.com/sprocket/photos/panel_elec/schematics-2/EMS.pdf You also use a 15 or 9-pin d-sub or split one into a ground bus and a 5V bus. Vern. Jeesh it's been almost 14 years since I...

I am involved in a field trial of a low-cost diversity transponder that will be a good choice for new installs, likely by the end of the year. Economical to boot. Dynon is aware.

My proprietary autotrim system does exactly the same thing. As far as the autopilot knows when holding a course, a cross-wind looks like a roll trim error so the integral of the servo corrections is used to adjust the trim. A heading hold would not produce this, but won't take you where you...

It's a bit of a misnomer to say that antenna diversity will be required in Canada. We are lobbying Transport Canada to make an exception for light aircraft below xxxx feet. Even if that's not possible, the equivalent of diversity can be achieved with a proper dipole antenna on the wingtip or...

In the SkyView documents, the serial stream formats are documented. They can be interpreted with another device (I've used PIC processors, ATMega 328p's, Teensy and ESP-32 devices. Having said that, I see Dynon is planning on releasing the UDP protocol over WiFi. This is perfect for my ESP32...

Piece of cake, if you want a wired (RS-232) connection. For WiFi, a bit more effort is required using an ESP-8266 or ESP-32 as a serial to wireless bridge. Of course, that assumes that you have a serial port available. If not, the only solution is for Dynon to open up the WiFi protocol.

It's important that you do not mix crimp connector brands or types on an individual probe. Also, get rid of any fast-on terminals and use quality barrel splices. Any oxidation in the fast-ons (such as sitting too long) will cause large errors in temperature readings. Until I did this on my...

The first thing to check is the condition of the plugs and wires. Pay attention to the plug gaps as well. Any kind of misfire or preignition is a problem and will cause transient high rpm readings.

I have found that the gallons setting is more precise than the liters setting. Gallons is in tenths, while liters are in whole numbers. Makes leaning and calbrating injectors more difficult. V

Classic has horizontal and vertical divider lines.

Without commenting on the merits of the case, I don't think it's wise for Garmin to use the courts to limit competition. The E-AB market is a pretty tight community and if Garmin is seen as a bully, it could actually hurt their sales in this segment. After all, it has been this community that...

And yet GRT who did probeless AOA now offers a Probed version. I think that a probe measures actual instantaneous airflow, whereas a computed version infers average airflow. On the other hand, the probe only measures a specific location on one wing. V

From rotax-owner.com: Alexander, If by "Fluctuations", you mean that the Dynon display appears to be generating random numbers between 3.x and 1.x with no apparent pattern at all... and the needle on a mechanical gauge appears to be vibrating wildly within a similar range of pressures... This...

I'm pretty sure you can configure this in the setup menu: D External Input “AUX IN” Set the external input mode. • OFF • ON • INCOM : The external input is OFF. : The external input is available while the squelch is closed. : The external input is available with the intercom op- erations as...

I would recommend using the ICom's Auxiliary audio inputs, NOT the mic inputs. Since there are multiple Aux inputs, you can connect the SkyView L and R outputs to the Icom individually. I would highly recommend terminating the SkyView Outputs with resistors to audio LO (gnd). Try 100 ohms...

The Mode-S ES transponders transmit position reports every second or so. What you are hearing is a small amount of RF interference due to this. It is especially noticable inside a metal hangar, but not in flight because the transponder signal bounces around and is stronger as a result. Some...

Let me chime in.  I am not sure it applies to the LASAR mags, but I have been recording and diagnosing ignition waveforms for a few years.  One thing I have picked up is that any degradation in spark plugs or spark plug wiring can lead to erratic (spurious high rpm at high power) indications...

Heat, vibration and contamination is very hard on these connectors. I replaced mine with barrel crimp connectors and my erratic temperature readings settled down. V
