    Skyview widget X'ed out

    NAN = Not A (valid) Number. SkyView is getting a voltage value that is outside the normal range for the sensor that is specified. We agree with Jake to check the pin / sensor output wiring. If nothing found, perhaps the sensor has failed and needs to be replaced.

    Dynon Skyview "EMS Failure"

    If the RPM / Tachometer display is not stable, then the resistor is required. It's necessary to experiment with the value of the resistor; the installation manual recommends increasing the value of the resistance in increments of approximately 30 K ohms until the RPM / Tachometer display is...

    fuel flow transducer

    In experimental applications, EI is happy for the FT-60 to be used in gravity feed systems. As you can see by their own document, they do not restrict it, but require you to do a flow test (as you should always do). So please make sure the people you talked to at EI are aware of your...

    fuel flow transducer

    Generally the red cube is generally fine for gravity feed applications with flows that a 200 HP engine can achieve. The pressure drop at 18 GPH is only 0.20 PSI. Fuel is about 1/2 PSI per foot of head, so as long as your fuel tank is 1 foot or more above your carburetor, you can flow 1.5X your...

    fuel flow transducer

    We routinely sell the Electronics International FT-60 (Red Cube), Dynon Avionics P/N 100403-003 for 0-360 engines; it's rated for fuel flow of 0.6 to 70+ GPH. If you'd like to see your options for other fuel flow sensors (compatible with Dynon EMS units), check out the Electronics International...

    Backup instrumentation?

    The EFIS-D6 is not suitable for this application - it does not include DSAB for connecting to the HS34 (see below) or servos for AP. The EFIS-D10A may be suitable for this for at least displaying glideslope in parallel with SkyView, but doing so will require the installation of an HS34 to be...

    Skyview widget X'ed out

    Are you certain that you actually installed a Kavlico 3 PSI fluid pressure sensor for the fuel pressure sensor? Dynon Avionics does not sell this sensor (though SkyView supports it). Depending on the specific engine, Dynon Avionics sells 5 PSI, 15 PSI, and 50 PSI Kavlico Fluid Pressure Sensors...

    Fluctuating Manifold Pressure

    What engine do you have? Some engines have the MAP sensor port located very close to a cylinder and the MAP sensor registers the "slap" of the cylinder. Some customers have had success in installing a restrictor in the pneumatic line going to the MAP sensor. This normally isn't an issue in...

    Dynon Skyview: Free Space Config: 0 Kbytes

    The update didn't go perfectly and one of your files is corrupt. When we update a system, we have to change just about every file inside it and very rarely something goes wrong.

    Will DynonServos fly you down the glideslope?

    The 2020 only affects ADS-B compliance and does not change any other features of SkyView. SkyView is not an IFR certified navigator and thus will not create glideslope or glidepath guidance, and thus SkyView's autopilot will not fly a glideslope unless equipped with a 3rd party IFR GPS or NAV...

    Data availability for ALL ADSB services via WiFi

    Currently, SkyView does not provide the ADS-B data (weather, traffic) over the Wi-Fi connection. If this capability is added, then the app manufacturers will have to update their apps to receive and display that data in their app.

    Skyview SE question

    Yes, a SkyView SE is upgradeable to a SkyView system. Cost of the upgrade has not been determined.

    Aviation Update Not Loading

    Apologies for this confusion. It was always the case that the SkyView Wi-Fi adapter (or the SkyView Video Input Adapter) could remain connected (plugged in) simultaneously with the USB flash drive for firmware updates, database updates, or charts access. However, the SkyView display can only...

    GPS to ELT connection

    Note that not every ELT that supports a GPS input supports NMEA however. Some require AVIATION format which SkyView cannot output. From my memory, Kannad, ACK, and AeroFix can use NMEA but Ameri-King needs AVIATION.

    GPS to ELT connection

    If you have an unused serial port on your SkyView display, connect Serial 1, 2, 3, or 4 TX to the ELT and set the serial port TX to NMEA BASIC.

    Dynon Skyview "EMS Failure"

    Perhaps one of the connectors in the path to the SV-EMS-220 is making intermittent contact? You didn't state what engine you have, and the method of getting RPM (tachometer) info varies by engine type. As soon as we know what type of engine you have we can provide some troubleshooting.

    Comm RF interference with altitude reading

    Jake always seems to be on duty on the Forum! As always, thanks for the assist, Jake! You called Dynon Avionics Tech Support and we issued an RMA to send you a replacement SV-EMS-220. Note that when we tried to send you a confirmation email, it bounced - you might want to check with your email...

    Configuring VPX for the first time.

    As soon as you connect a (working) serial device, and configure the type of device, you should see TX and RX data. RX is the most important, indicating that SkyView is receiving data from the serial device. You will see TX always, and RX if the device is actually connected correctly and powered...
