By default, bearing pointer 1 in the HDX points to the current GPS waypoint. You cannot control this. Many of us only have one nav source (an SV-GPS-2020/250), installed. In this case bearing pointer 2 is more or less useless. It would be a very useful enhancement to add functionality to allow...
Yes, I posted it in the other thread, because the underlying issue that thread was created about (failure of HDX system to detect Servo when connected through Network Hub), has still never been resolved, and I suspected they might be related, as the Caution Alert only occurred when Autopilot was...
Good idea, I will. It is interesting that the alert log indicates that this caution alert is happening over and over again, (every few seconds or so), on and off, in spite of the fact that the Autopilot is on and functioning properly. I have a resistor across the momentary switch, as specified...
I downloaded the Data logs, and one of the files is Alerts... a portion of which looks like this:
6502.44,2,9,2020-07-12 14:55:23,+37.09436,-110.59238,11087,133.1,288.6,-10.1,14:55:41,AUDIO,PLAY,SYS_CAUTION,
6502.50,2,9,2020-07-12...
So installing the SV-GPS-250 as a second GPS only adds the benefits of having a backup in the event of failure of the primary SV-GPS-2020?
Then, with only the SV-GPS-2020 installed, is there a way to specify a second different waypoint for Bearing Pointer 2?
What are advantages of installing a second GPS?
I do not have a NAV radio. The Skyview HDX users guide (pg 4-19), says that you can connect the two bearing pointers on HSI to any one of the nav sources in the system, and the bearing pointer will "point" at the "radio station or waypoint". It...
I am now having an issue. All of the A/P functions are working as advertised, but whenever the A/P is on I get continuous audible "Caution" messages over the intercom. They only last a split second, so I can never hit the message button fast enough to see the pop up window to see the details. It...
Six months later. I am now having another issue. All of the A/P functions are working as advertised, but whenever the A/P is on I get continuous audible "Caution" messages over the intercom. They only last a split second, so I can never hit the message button fast enough to see the pop up window...
I'm thinking that all I want to use this for is ro give me an aural indication of what would be optimum AOA for turning, just a safe margin below where the canard stalls on my Long EZ. I can test for that and then just file the end of the tube sticking out of the nose appropriately, to "tune"...
I have a Rutan Long EZ, (pusher). The pitot tube is a simple tube, cut flush with the pointed nose of the aircraft so that the cross sectional is normal (perpendicularly aligned) with the aircraft longitudinal reference line. As I understand it the AOA subsystem in the AHARS determines AOA by...
Yes, from the hub into one of the two network ports on the display. I needed it because I have AHARS, a separate Magnetometer (SV-MAG-236), SV-Com Panel (SV-COM-PANEL), and EMS (SV-EMS-220) so I needed a hub...
The AHARS and the SV-COM-PANEL use two of the ports on the hub, and the SV-MAG-236...
I see the wiring diagram refers to these pairs as Data B1 and Data B2
I assumed they were for data in and data out, respectively, as they are in an Ethernet network...
Thanks..
Did that... When only one was connected, (no matter which one it was), it would be detected if it was hooked up to the back of the HDX display, and not detected when it was hooked up to the hub. And the two pairs are there because (as in all networks), it needs one pair for sending data...
No, actually, the problem went away when I spliced the wires from both servos, AS LONG AS I CONNECTED THE SINGLE DB-9F PLUG INTO ONE OF THE HDX DISPLAY PORTS. If I connect it to the hub, neither servo is detected/recognized.
And I considered the hypothesis that it was a bad servo, but, (before...
Yes, i spliced the four data lines together into one DB9F connector, plugged that into one port on back of display and it all works.
As an aside, after running mutiple tests (of network configuration, detect function), with separate servo connectors plugged into various ports on hub, and into...
Yes, splicing them together and only using only one db9/port should work. That's my next plan. I am out of ports on the hub otherwise.
Someone at Dynon told me you couldn't do that with servos, but as i undersrand the network, that does not make sense. Perhaps I misunderstood what he told me.
