    SkyView Network Wiring Hub

    And to add insult to injury, we have just release two other wiring hubs in addition to the AXIS-9A (above) and the AXIS-15A (RS-232 thread). They are the AXIS-25A and GBX-25A.  The AXIS-25A is a 25-wire, five connector hub, while the GBX-25A is a 25-wire ground (or power) distribution block.  ...

    SkyView Network Wiring Hub

    This is a heads up to list members on a new product we are just introducing:  a five channel SVN wiring hub. Earlier this year, we intro'd a wiring hub for managing the RS-232 and related signals from Dynon SkyView EFIS systems (called the AXIS-15A).  See the thread...

    RS-232

    Good news from Vx Aviation on AXIS-15A Available. The AXIS-15A EFIS Wiring Hub has been released as a product. See www.vx-aviation.com or www.vx-aviation.com/documents/AXIS-15A-110101.pdf for more information. Thanks for all of the feedback on this site and in the private emails sent to me...

    RS-232

    I'd recommend contacting Monroy for info on their product. As I mentioned, the serial output documentation is not yet complete. It does track multiple targets on the built-in display. Vern

    Serial Wiring

    It's OK, you can't hurt anything by wiring it up the way Dynon recommends. V

    Serial Wiring

    There is some discussion on serial ports http://dynonavionics.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1290017431 My recommendation is to prewire everything in anticipation of future upgrades (new instruments). If you don't use a wiring hub like the one I've developed, just connect the wires and leave...

    RS-232

    One of Jose Monroy's best kep secrets is the new ATD-300+ which provides directional capability with a new, streamlined external mount antenna. I have flight tested it, and it appears to function properly. He also indicated that the speaker output pin will be rededicated to a serial data...

    RS-232

    Re: RS-232 and bus interconnect OK Folks, I've been busy.  Earlier I published a schematic of a typical Skyview dual EFIS system (replicated below).  I've been pondering the amount of interconnect and wondering how I'll be adding and changing the wiring in future as new instruments appear (such...

    Fixed, diagram is now correct. Thanks, Vern

    Displaying Timing from Light Speed PlasmaII

    I like this idea as well, but I realize it might be a hardware change in order to get the millivolt resolution. Keep it in mind for the inevitable hardware revisions. Vern

    Transponder user interface

    I have a Q about the user interface on the EFIS when using the Dynon Transponder. The concensus amongst my pilot comrades is that we like the Garmin interface... punch in 4 consecutive numbers (from 0 to 7). This is superior to using a knob to set a number, push a button, then repeat up to 3...

    Prewire for OAT

    Thanks. I think I'll prewire a pair of 22 AWG wires and connector now and then later I will splice in the OAT sensor at the bitter end, probably using a similar plug/socket setup. A side benefit of this is that if the sensor ever fails, I can just plug a new one in without rewiring. I'd...

    Prewire for OAT

    That's what I'm suggesting, but there is no information available on the type of pins required at the ADAHRS end, or if there are any specific shielding requirements. I recall the D10A's temperature probe would not tolerate modifications to the wiring. It would be nice for Dynon to provide a...

    Prewire for OAT

    After much gnashing of teeth, I installed a tray for the SV ADAHRS in the aft baggage compartment of my HRII. Before I close the skin, I need to route the wiring for the OAT probe, which will be located underneath the HS. Since it will be impossible to route wiring when the fuselage is closed...

    Skyview Circuit Library

    There was some discussion on the RS232 topic about Skyview system interconnect. I thought that I would repost my reply with a different title, and add various schematic pages for criticism/review by Dynon and others.  The intent is to refine the designs, prevent wiring errors and provide...

    SKYVIEW Internal Voltage FAIL

    My experience with Avionics is that customers often exceed "do not exceed" voltages. At one time, I had failures with circuits that would operate up to 16V, so 12/14V systems would be ok, right? Not so, because customers had a habit of testing devices on the ground with questionable power...

    Map Features - Your Input Requested

    Here's my thoughts: 1) Replicate as much as possible the functionality and reliability of an X96 GPS or Aera.  That would allow the elimination of the Aera 500 and net $300 ($800-$500) towards the purchase of a second Skyview & battery in the panel.  The ultimate objective is a Garmin-free...

    RS-232

    The following is not definitive, it would be nice for Dynon to have a once-over to see if there is anything amiss.  It is set up for a VFR panel, plus an SL-30 for NAV and a (future) ADS-B UAT. It incorporates the redundant serial links just announced by Dynon.  Things to finalize are the...
