For the sake of the archive, this turned out to be a software issue of sorts. It seems the EDC also has software, and it only gets updated if the EDC is connected when the software update is loaded to the EFIS. In my case, the EFIS, and EDC came with the previous version of software, and when...

As a final note, I ended up installing the EDC under the empennage fairing, and it worked even better than it did behind the baggage compartment. It was much easier to install as well, and that would be my recommendation to any RV builder, FWIW. Rusty

I'm cautiously optimistic about the current location of the EDC. I did some tests again yesterday, but don't know when I'll get to flight test it. Just too many tropical storms and hurricanes passing through the area. As I mentioned, the current in the battery lead should be nearly zero...

Hi Dave, With the latest software, it seems the only thing you use the computer for is to load new software, and configure checklists. The airspeed colors are now entered directly on the unit, via the menu. Below is from the current installation guide. Cheers, Rusty To configure the...

Greetings, I installed the EDC, and OAT yesterday. After final installation of the wiring, all tie wrapped, etc, I turned the unit on, and the OAT read 82F. It was actually 89F according to a thermocouple, so I bumped up the OAT by 7F, so it read 89F. After putting the plane back together...

I installed the EDC yesterday. The choice was to put it under the front of the empennage fairing, or behind the baggage compartment of the RV-3. Under the empennage fairing is clear of all current carrying wires, but the EDC would be within a couple inches of several AN-3 bolts, an ELT...

I finished the install, and did the ground and flight call of the internal sensors. It was almost dark, and i don't have lights, so I didn't really get to play with the EFIS much. From what I can see, it's way cool though :-) Once on the ground, I tested N,S,E,W vs the GPS while taxiing...

There's something I still don't understand about this. If the EDC is the same as the sensors in the EFIS, then why does the EFIS need such a comprehensive calibration, and the EDC just gets four headings on the ground? Is it because you expect the EDC installation environment to be so clean...

I guess if I'm going to install the EDC, I should give it the best chance of success, by mounting it somewhere more ideal. When I go out there today, I'm taking a small compass to put in the EFIS location, for a test. I'll turn on that main contactor, and add some electrical load, and see if I...

Thanks for the info. It's not a matter of buying the EDC, just installing it. UPS is already bringing it today. I would just have to find the least painful location to install it. One thing that I worry about with the baggage compartment installation is the effect from baggage. If you put...

Greetings, I'm still trying to decide if I should try the unit on the panel, before attempting to install the EDC. I noticed yesterday, that while my panel location is fairly clear of powered instruments, radios, etc, I do have the master contactor, and main battery cable just below the spot...

Greetings, I have the D10A in hand, and the EDC, OAT, and harness are on the way. The plan is to install this in an RV-3, at the top, center of the panel. This is really about as clean of a location as I can imagine having in the panel, so I'm thinking that the unit should work well without...

Thanks for the confirmation. I went ahead and ordered the EDC, so now I have the joy of installing it to look forward to :-) Cheers, Rusty (getting out my micro level)
