Dynon sells a $190 USB video adapter when I can get a decent one on Amazon for $20-30. Do I have to buy Dynon or will the generic video capture USB cards work as well? Anyone tried that yet?
Thanks Robert
Done ... what a breeze this was. Here are the steps in more detail:
ONLINE
Download latest Dynon firmware to USB stick
Download bottom engine strip configuration file (see attached)
For wimps ... Read the instructions :)
OLD SKYVIEW
Export settings, data & waypoints to USB stick
Take...
Tomorrow the HDX is showing up. You say "almost everything" will transfer so what won't transfer beside the AoA and the bottom stripe which you sent me the cfg file for?
Thanks Robert
DYNON TECH SUPPORT UPDATE
The XCOM serial input/output is formatted in such an usual way that they decided not to build support for it. So NO XCOM DYNON serial connection! On a positive note, their tech support rocks, called them this morning and got a call back within hours. #LoveDynon
UPDATES - I added a feature now that stores a UTF-8 formatted file called "checklist.txt" straight in your Google Drive home directory, super easy. Let me know what you think.
Robert
Did all the above, still nothing 🙄 ... RHEAD enabled, serial connected to port 1, input device setup as SL40, "Display COM in Top Bar" turned ON, can see package count go in and out, but still no tuning.
Any other ideas?
Got annoyed that there was only an Excel version to create checklists, and that didn't work for the Mac, so I decided to do a little coding and bring me and you an online version built on Google Sheets.
Here it is, for everyone to use for themselves ... http://bit.ly/DynonChecklistCreator...
I loaded 5.6.1 on all my devices except when I update the D100 which also shows the EDC-D10A, the D100 shows the new firmware but the EDC-D10A remains on 5.4.3.
#1 - Is this a problem?
#2 - If yes, how can I fix that?
Thanks Robert
Looks like after more research and noticing a "COM FAILURE" error on the SL30, I think the problem is a bad serial connection between the SL30 and the HS34.

Appreciate if anybody else has seen this,

Anybody ever heard of the HS34 causing problems with the Garmin SL30, not allowing frequency changes etc?
Just bought a plane that had the HS34 taken out because of this and was wondering if anybody has seen this before.
Thanks Robert
