    Transponder not showing active

    Have you put a valid tail number and hex code in the aircraft setup page?

    Fuel Gauge misreading?

    The Vans RV is similar. Even with 70 litre tanks, the fuel sender float tops out at about 55 litres, so that's where the fuel quantity system stops seeing a change in the signal during the fuel calibration. In this case, it will read 55+ with full tanks, even though it knows the tank capacity...

    Has anyone ever added a marine or non-aviation radio to the system

    I install commercial UHF radios in aircraft very often. They are used extensively here in Australia for mustering and station work, as well as marine UHF/VHF maritime work. I use a NAT AA34-300 commercial radio interface unit (now made by Cobham) to interface the mic, audio and PTT to aircraft...

    Max and Mim autopilot airspeed

    The inflight setup screen only takes up half the screen, as opposed to when you are on the ground where it takes the whole screen. You will still see the PFD with airspeed, altitude, etc, on the left hand side of the screen, and the setup window on the right.

    KUS fuel quantity sender

    Looks like it is a standard resistance sender. Connect one of the senders leads to a good earth, the other one connect to the Dynon wire for that tank.

    RPM sensor SkyView sytem

    The certified Dynon installation uses the P-Leads at the ignition key switch, with some resistors. The sensor that screws into the magneto are usually part of a kit from JPI or Electronics International, approved under their STC's

    An update on Dynon Certified projects

    I have installed Dynon servos in where a Trutrak was fitted. The Dynon servos bolted straight into the Trutrak brackets. The Dynon and Trutrak servos look pretty much identical. Bendix-King bought Trutrak, so I would think the servo brackets from a BK Aerocruze would fit the Dynon servos.

    What's a CHT Thermocouple's Failure Mode

    First thing to go in the rubbish bin when I unpack an EMS engine kit 👌

    What's a CHT Thermocouple's Failure Mode

    Honestly, it sounds like a bad probe. If you have a bad connection, which is in essence an open circuit, the Dynon will display a red X over that probe on the screen. Easy way to fault find is to swap the wiring over between the suspect probe and the cylinder next to it, leaving the probes where...

    roll ball is half out/ D100

    Sounds like your D100 is not mounted level with the roll axis, or there is an internal problem. Simplest way to tell would be to remove the D100, and sit it flat on a floor or bench that you have determined is actually level, with a spirit level for example. Turn the unit on with the internal...

    @jnmeade did you find the trouble in the end?

    SV-KNOB-DIMMER Questions

    Just out of interest, have you tried modifying the automatic dimming via the setup pages? You should be able to set the minimum brightness there.

    SV-KNOB-DIMMER Questions

    The dimensions are on page 15-25 of the install manual I'm sure you only need to use the dimmer panel with the SE, for a HDX you can make your own out of a suitable potentiometer of your choice.

    Does anyone have an X-Plane simulator for SkyView HDX?

    You can put an external ident button in. Pin 20 of the SV-XPNDR to ground, through a normally open momentary switch.

    What's included in the display harness?

    The harness (SV-HARNESS-D37) is not included with any HDX screen I've bought. It's always been a separate item.

    D180+D100 simultaneous failure: "EDC not detected" + "OAT not found"

    Haha! I'm going with "you found the problem"

    Level Button Stuck

    It might be the cause of your problem. You will get that message if SV sees that the external level button is stuck on during boot up. The fact that it is sometimes activating the AP points to an intermittent grounding of the wire that goes from the external level button to pin 28 of the SV DB37...

    Level Button Stuck

    Do you have a separate level button still hooked up, as well as the one on the AP controller?

    Two comm radios

    Exactly as Rhino said. I just did this for a customer on the last RV I installed SkyView in. The Dynon intercom has two com inputs. I used a DPDT switch to switch the MIC HI and PTT for the com selected, and two switches to select either or both audio inputs into the intercom.

    D180+D100 simultaneous failure: "EDC not detected" + "OAT not found"

    I would have to think you have some water in one of the connectors as a possible cause. Since you have an EDC and OAT fault, I'd look at the EDC connector wherever you have that installed. Take the backshell off the connector and dry it out. There is also the possibility of the EDC having got...
