    Connection fault: 4/8

    The dynon data bus uses two pair of wires for redundancy - this 4/8 fault is telling you that something is wrong with the pair of wires that connect to pins 4 and 8 of the 9-pin DB9 connector. The system will continue to operate on the other pair, it's just a notice that one pair is...

    CO Monitor

    I don't know about Skyview-specific, but you could always take the audio alert output of your CO monitor and plug it into one of the audio inputs on your audio panel.

    Skyview bus pass-through problem

    My setup is dual 10" Skyviews with the full Dynon suite of accessories. I have the servos, ADAHRS, and transponder connected to the #2 (right) screen, with that screen plugged into the Dynon 5-port bus where I've got the left #1 screen, ARINC, EMS tied into, all running 5.1 software. The...

    Need help with oil pressure and temp sensors.

    And while we're at it - do NOT use Teflon tape. Use the liquid PTFE paste, usually available in the plumbing section of any decent hardware store.

    Wireless conectivity

    That sure sounds like an open invitation for someone to develop a 3rd party device to handle that task... ;)

    New SkyView COM Radio

    Any update on when these will be ready for order/ship? I finally got power on my entire panel this weekend, except for your comm radio.

    Checklist page

    Nothing of the sort - checklists are a good thing and I use one - but some/many/most items (depending on a pilots level of understanding of mechanics, physics, aerodynamics, and situation awareness) are common-sense items or memory items. People have varying degrees of ability to cope in a...

    Checklist page

    Yes, but think of all that wasted panel space! You clearly need some more electronics to put in there! 8-)

    Dynon Start-up?

    Mine takes 4-5 seconds after powerup before I see anything on the screen - are you possibly just not waiting long enough after powerup?

    Checklist page

    In general I would agree with Paul - but we need to remember that not all pilots are made equally. There's an average, an upper, and a lower. Some people need checklists to fly a kite. Still, I think the printed and laminated paper checklist would be the best option for those wanting one. That...

    Synthetic Vision

    Dynon - the borders of your bodies of water - are those at some historical "snapshot" in time or are they floodstage or conservation stage or something else?

    Transponder code reset

    Startup checklist item.

    Back up Battery Failure

    Kudos to Dynon - and also a good reason to have low-amperage breakers rather than fuses, more likely to be noticed when they trip.

    Mach indicator?

    Would it be possible to have a computed Mach number to set as a barber pole on the airspeed tape, since this is what drives flutter characteristics?

    Skyview Backup Battery Test Wizard

    Pick a nice VFR day, and turn it off ships power while flying. I don't know about you but I don't need much of an excuse to go flying, and this gives you a real-world-conditions test just as you would have in a legitimate power-out scenario. Just make sure you are ready to dead-reckon your way...

    Audio Hum

    I'm curious if you guys that hear the hum are using noise-cancelling headsets or standard passive headsets?

    multiple ammeter shunts?

    With the Skyview EMS, can I put a second ammeter shunt input into the unit? I only find one set of dedicated contacts in the documentation with no indication of secondary contacts for an additional shunt - can this be done?

    Advanced Autopilot

    Dynon - any chance a future update could include the ability to set this to a calculated TAS instead of IAS? I'm thinking particularly of high-altitude flutter limits, which is dependent upon TAS rather than IAS. I suppose I can see both sides of that argument though, you want the Autopilot to...

    Capacitance[ch8208]to[ch8208]Voltage Converter installation

    Dynon - I hate to revive an old thread like this, but the current 5.1 install documentation is still extremely sketchy in section 7 with regard to the pinout on your capacitance convertor. It references the convertor installation instructions which don't exist. Adding a little info here on your...

    Advanced Autopilot

    Skyview controls the servos through the data bus, not through the ARINC-429. I don't think it will work for you...
