The AoA indicator-not sure, the open source Stick Shaker will be replacing this function and will be online soon.  The open source Trim controller is here: http://store.makerplane.org/m-pwr-2-dual-channel-variable-speed-trim-control-kit/. All of these designs are open-source hardware, so you...

Yeah, this is crazy but hear me out. I've developed multiple devices that sniff the serial datastream from a SkyView system. Specifically an external AoA indicator, a Stick Shaker a speed-scheduling dual trim controller and, most recently, an auto-trim controller. Some of these devices can be...

My MAP Is off by 0.2 inHg as checked at 0 MSL. While this is not a significant error, I would like to be able to adjust it so that power calculations are more accurate. What can be done? Thanks, Vern

I have completed the design of an auto-trim capable 2-axis servo controller, based on the M-PWR-2A from MakerPlane http://store.makerplane.org/m-pwr-2-dual-channel-variable-speed-trim-control/, my business partner. The controller is now in flight testing, and it is available to other Beta...

When the video capability is released, I hope that you will support a one button push to select between syn vis and camera view.  Even supporting an external contact input would be useful. Better yet, for those of us with tail draggers and long noses, it would be beneficial if we could define...

I know that the A/P control head can provide autotrim, but there a lot of aircraft that don't or can't use it. It would be really useful to provide a control field in the Adahrs seral output that would provide a message for an external trim controller, such as the M-PWR-2A that I developed for...

I've worked this offline with the 'dog and educated him on how the 327 works (or doesn't). It needs a Garmin Certified GPS before it will switch back to STBY mode on the ground. Switching from STBY to ALT is easy because it detects a rapid change in altitude on the serial altitude data...

Nope, stone cold dead display except for some dim flickering. Unit appears on the SVN from my other screen, but no display. Waiting for RMA to ship back. Odd this seemed to happen coincidentally with forced network load from the other screen. Vern

Use the AL-1A from this site and wire it into your intercom. http://makerplane.org/?page_id=1059 Perfect for stall warns or canopy alarms etc. Vern

Later today I will try the same sequence on the second screen.  I will also reload the system s/w to see if the bug clears. ...update: the second screen worked fine. I forced a  network load and the problem went away. Explain that! ...oops, spoke too soon. Rebooted both screens and D700...

See this, page AUDIO2 for an example of the Lemo wiring in parallel with conventional jacks. http://54.204.241.138/redmine/attachments/download/94/VFR%20Aircraft%20Electrical%20System%20Rev%205.pdf] This is a version of my HR-II schematic from the MakerPlane site. Vern

Today I noticed that my fuel quantity has reset itself to full (42 gal). I went to the hardware calibration page on my SVD1000 to check things out and as soon as I scrolled down to aileron calibration the system rebooted. It does this every time I repeat this sequence. Also, when I shut off...

Yup, I have TIS enabled on the transponder, so that's the root cause.

I redid my panel after 25 flight hours, now i have a second screen with 26 hours on the map trial and one with 1 hour left. What happens in 1 hour, do I lose one of my maps?

Does the redundant SVN operate as a live spare, or as a fallback when a fault is detect on the primary link? A live spare would terminate the protocol on both links and compare the results, whereas the fallback spare would not terminate the protocol until a fault is detected on the primary...

No traffic products, but I may have enabled TIS On the transponder, I'll check.

I still have this on 10.1 software but no traffic receiver. I thought it was fixed, what am I missing? Vern

At the beginning of the Cold War, the USA had a plan to annex portions of Canada.  The Grand vision started with the west coast, to join Alaska with the other Conus States.  The secret bill failed in Congress because certain senators started earmarking desirable Canadian cities to the bill and...

Totally agree. I also like the triangular indexer because the thin white line is easily washed out by the bright colours. Your background in this sure is useful, I hope we can convince Dynon to improve the human factors. I have set up my screen to emulate as best I can the Figure 7 display, but...

By the way, see figure 7 in this document. I would like Dynon to embrace this type of graphical representation of engine data. http://www.marinetech.org/files/marine/files/Curriculum/IROV/Module13/gruhnhmidesignreviewed-110722135448-phpapp02.pdf Vern
