    Problem with Adding a cabin temp sensor.

    I have no data sheet or instructions on the probe and when I’ve done searches on it and can’t get anything. It’s just one I had in my spares box. But when you map the sensors and tell it the pin mapping is for a temp probe the only options you get in the menu list that appears is for either J or...

    Problem with Adding a cabin temp sensor.

    I’ve got a Jabiru 6 cylinder engine all set up and apparently working in my skyview HDX Ive got a spare Dynon OAT type probe (with two wires -one white, one black and white. ) Tried to install it as a cabin temp probe connected up to pins on the 37 pin input. I selected a ground and (I...

    updated HDX - now no temp sensors.

    update on the above. i went back onto the skyview and removed all the files on usb stick. redownloaded the files from the dynon site and reinstalled. this time the graphical display of EGT and CHTs is back. The described red crosses still appears instantaneously and then reverts to yellow boxes...

    updated HDX - now no temp sensors.

    I updated my Jabiru with the newest Dynon HDX update and it seemed to load properly. But now I have no temp sensor inputs ( either CHT or EGTs). When it boots up there is an instantaneous display that shows red crosses on each of the numeric blocks where each temp should be displayed. Then the...

    Need advice about adding radios to HDX

    I am planning an upgrade in my Jabiru 430. I have a functioning Skyview HDX with knob and AP panel. Looking to add skyview radios. Issues are: I need four place intercom I need dual radios Need advice as to what set ups users may have that will fit this need. My reading seems to indicate...

    Something Odd with Direct-To command and some other stuff

    I wouldn't think this is just the issue or if it is, it’s a real fault in the design intention or coding. Just to make clear, at the time I am manually flying not on AP on Nav Steering mode so it’s not relying on a slow Nav turn. The start point of the magenta line is up to about 3 or 4 miles...

    Something Odd with Direct-To command and some other stuff

    Have had my sky view HDX with knob panel and Auto Pilot panel installed for maybe 18 months or so. Till now I have had the AP set up in simple mode and no problems. Yesterday decided to step it up to Expert mode. Did that OK. Now notice a couple of things: 1. When I press direct to command...

    A few issues with my Skyview HDX system.

    Thanks David. The cables are dynon Cables but as best I recall they only come with one plug on them And installer to attach the other to allow for variation in size requirements. I can’t remember exactly how much if any that ADHARS Cable needed chopping off To fit. but I can probably re-rout...

    A few issues with my Skyview HDX system.

    Hi All. I have noticed a few issues and need some advice on them. I have a Skyview HDX with autopilot, knob panel and autopilot panel, a network hub in a Jabiru. Installed it all a year ago and some issues have been present whole time and other have started more recently. Most are intermittent...

    Customization of engine info bar

    Hi russp Thanks for that. That looks like it will do the trick. I could only find one for the original skyview not the HDX but I am presuming it will be pretty much the same. Should be able to work it out from there. Cheers

    Customization of engine info bar

    I need to delete some of the widgets on the bottom engine bar. I have the downloaded Jabiru 3300 engine file installed on my HDX but I don't have some of the things that are shown and I need the space and would like to delete their widgets. Eg. I don't have electronic fuel gauges (I have glass...

    Problem performing initial backup battery test.

    Ok that explains a few things but leaves another to be addressed ( that I was going to chase later) My system thinks it's travelling a 17 knots. The ADAHRS unit is sitting on the window sill with the test cable ( Dynon supplied one) connecting it to the display. ( Also has the oat probe...

    Problem performing initial backup battery test.

    Sorry I thought I had outlined the events better. Battery will and does charge on big enough bench power supply - which I have (20 amp output). Battery test sequence followed and worked/entered correctly first. But aborted because ( as only becomes obvious during a test) it showed...

    Problem performing initial backup battery test.

    As a follow on to the above. I let the HDX run on backup battery and checked it intermittently. It ran for about an hour before stopping. I assume that means the battery is OK despite the inability to test it. The surprising thing is that I repeated the attempt to do the initial test and...

    Problem performing initial backup battery test.

    I have my new HDX setup on the bench. I have connected up the battery and got the messages that a battery test was needed. I got into the battery status page which said that a battery was detected, previous shutdown was normal, a test had not been done and was needed and that the battery was...

    Dynon D180 OAT readout shows 64 C

    Step 1. Prove it’s not positioning and reading true temp.   Unscrew the probe from skin of aircraft & pull it inside and run again. If the new temp doesn’t change to 64 then the problem is it’s getting engine heat and you need to change probe location. If it still changes to 64, it’s a dynon...

    D180 grey screen

    After posting the above I rechecked the autopilot. It seems to be working ( on the ground at least - makes all the right noises and joystick moves as usual) So looks like it may be just the screen has died.

    D180 grey screen

    Need advice about a problem. Essentially my D180 flicked into a grey screen while flying today and that's all I get. Background- was flying and engaged autopilot ( all Dynon components AP74, servos etc) - oil temp became erratic. Turned off autopilot and temp stablized. Did a few rechecks...

    D 180 screen is too dark to read

    Hi DS Thanks for that. It's been a few weeks since I have had a chance to do anything with the aircraft or the Dynon. Ok on sending it back. The issue I guess is that it's a 12 year old device and I am reluctant to go spending much on it if at the end of the day it remains a 12 year old device...
