    Panel Planning Help Request

    You have the right approach. Keep the Skyview screen as high as possible on the panel. As noted the AP panel provides you auto trim. Also, the AP panel is only functional if you configure the AP for Advanced mode. It is not active in Simplified mode. I don't have the AP panel...

    Touch Screen Gloves For Skyview HDX Pireps

    During cold weather operations (below °C) I typically fly with wool fingerless gloves in the cockpit. They allow me to easily work with the SKyview HDX touch screens, panels, knobs and buttons. However, fingerless gloves are not ideal for outside ops such as fueling aircraft, etc...

    Skyview HDX WiFi Dongle and ForeFlight

    Not an answer to your question but a suggestion that might reduce the occurrences of disconnects. I was surprised to read this thread which quotes Dynon stating that Skyview only supports 1 connection. If two devices are connected then you *will* experience intermittent disconnects. Like...

    VSR Alarm

    Heard back from Dynon Tech Support. Not a current feature.

    VSR Alarm

    Curious if anyone has found a way to configure an HDX alert so the VSR will alarm when it crosses a predefined threshold. I.E. treat it like a CHT sensor, alert is generated when your VSR exceed 500 FPM. Most EFBs have this function. However, after upgrading my panel to HDX Skyview, I...

    System Event 20 & System Event 21 at startup

    Some encouraging news from Dynon Tech Support. I received the following update yesterday.... "We do have engineering working for the System event 20 and 21 bug. They are supposed to have a fix out in version 17.1, which should be out sometime around Oshkosh." Fingers crossed.

    System Event 20 & System Event 21 at startup

    Sounds like your system was too unstable to complete the export. If it doesn't complete the export in 5-10 minutes, I would reboot and assume that the diagnostic information was compromised.

    System Event 20 & System Event 21 at startup

    Good question. Since both failures occurred during engine start my first thought was voltage sag. However, both displays have batteries, which were recently tested (and passed) during condition inspection. In both instances only the PFD rebooted. MFD remained operational.

    System Event 20 & System Event 21 at startup

    This is second one I've experienced this year. Master on and all system were initialized. I hit the starter button and the PFD rebooted with System Event 20 and System Event 21 errors. It has also happen to my wingman, whose install is identical to mine. We both have all Dynon Advanced...

    Why Certified?

    For the same reason why you should care if your engine, propeller, wheels, brakes, instruments, hoses, lights, bolts, nuts, screws, ...... are certified. If they are not then it is your responsibility to ensure whatever is installed is fit for purpose and doesn't impede safe operations. Not...

    Version 16.7 software released

    @felix1973, were you able to resolve this issue? I just installed a Canopy switch sensor in an RV-6. Sensor & display works as documented but I can’t get SkyView HDX 16.7 to honor the rpm threshold before alerting. Want to taxi without alerting. Loaded new dfg file with 1750 rpm. No joy...

    1+2+5 doesn't reboot HDX Screens (RESOLVED)

    Case Closed! Owenssonex comment gave me pause. ..I went to the airport today and tested the reboot key under ship's power. It works as expected. Tested it again operating on backup power and it doesn't work. This is by design. From Dynon, "Ok, so that is working as it should, backup...

    1+2+5 doesn't reboot HDX Screens (RESOLVED)

    I haven't tried it without the backup battery connected. In my case, I am using Dynon - Advanced Flight Systems ACM. The backup batteries connect to the ACM, not the screens. Buttons 2 & 5 reliably work, with the exception noted in my post above (Functions not invoked when button pressed)...

    1+2+5 doesn't reboot HDX Screens (RESOLVED)

    Anyone else experiencing this problem? Two HDX 10 inch touch screens. Latest firmware (16.7) has been installed. System is a little over a year old. Failure was noted before upgrading to 16.7. Simultaneously pressing the 1+2+5 key just shuts the system down. It doesn't work on the PFD or...

    AP Panel Button Inconsistent

    This may not be the same problem, but I am having similar issues regarding pressing buttons and not having functions invoked. So is my wingman. I have the latest screens/hardware/firmware. I sent my units back to Dynon. Turns out my problem is a software issue. I have my screens back (with...

    Functions not invoked when button pressed

    February 15, 2024 update: I contacted Dynon. They thought the problem may be with the hardware so I sent my two HDX screens to Dynon for repair. Turns out that this was not a hardware issue but a software issue. Dynon was able to reproduce the problem using my configuration. However...
