yes, provided that your inspector (if you have an experimental aircraft that needs to be signed off by an inspector) likes the idea of feeding the transponder with information coming from a non-certified EFIS. Now, the fact that the serial stream from the Dynon is much much more precise than...

Mel is correct. More specifically, if your GPS talks to you Dynon box over serial in NMEA mode, then you will have the time automagically set by your GPS. If on the other you're using Aviation protocol over serial (e.g. Garmin 430/530) then you will not be able to have the clock automatically...

After visiting the booth at SnF today and seeing the AP in operation, I was convinced that Dynon is what I should have in my panel, and luck me Ifound an "as new" EFIS D-10A unit for a very reasonable price, with warranty from the avionics shop. Can't wait to go back home to try it! A quick...

Agree with all the above, with one point which is important for me. I fly a motorglider, and shutting down the engine is a feature and not a "bug" in the engine itself... ;D So I'd really like to have an "airspeed above 20KIAS" timer as well as an "oil pressure above 15PSI" timer, as they...

Thanks Kris for the clarification. I too very much use the Flight Planning page rather than Direct to... ;) Is there a specific protocol already available which should be implemented, say, by Garmin on their units? Or this would be a fully proprietary solution? Thanks, Luca

check your computer, the pic displays fine on mine, here it is again: Ciao, Luca

There's something fundamentally broken in this discussion, IMHO. As far as I know, any GPS produces data that the Dynon gear consumes for many different reasons, one of which is the distance to the next waypoint. And it's down to the Dynon unit to match the DTW and time to waypoint and relate...

If I can add my 2 europennies... I think that Dynon made a very wise decision in setting up a bus like DSAB so that different Dynon devices can talk to each other nicely. Now, there are a bunch of APs out there on the market, and they have established a nice and tested product line over the...

Bump. You guys still wondering whether you can squeeze this featurette in the June release before you answer? ;) Ciao, Luca

Hi again, using the search function on the forum, I found a little inconsistency in replies given to similar questions regarding the Rotax 912 oil temperature sender, which is fitted by default from Rotax. In this message dated 12/07/2006 you say that you work with the default oil temperature...

Another quick question. What if I cannot install fuel level sensors in my tanks? Will the EMS allow me to enter the approximate amount of fuel in the tanks by hand, and then start to keep track of the fuel burned using the flow meter? This is my fuel level indicator, you can't beat that for...

Hi, getting more and more intrigued by your products given the new updates, so I am doing a bit more research on how I could install an EMS, likely a D180, on my Pipistrel Virus. I will surely have a bunch of questions in the next few days, but let me start with one regarding the flap position...

wow! That's a sweet setup! It looks like Google Earth scenery with a DEM overlay for 3D, very nice indeed. The wording on the placard and the map tells that the plane is in France. Not sure who is working on such a nice 3D synthetic vision system though. Any info from Etienne or other...

Ciao Alfio, in the VansAirForce forum I've seen a posting similar to yours just a few hours ago, and this other product from SparkFun was mentioned: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=752 which seems more of a "pre-cooked" version of what you're asking. The job of...

Quick question on the speed of the NMEA stream coming from the GPS. Does it need to be fixed at 4800 bps, or would the Dynon unit auto-sense the speed and eventually adjust also to 9600 bps? The reason for the question lies in the fact that the Garmin units have a fixed speed on the serial...

are you guys working on finding a way to use a GP input pin as a serial port, or what? ;) Ciao, Luca

Quick question on what looks to be part of the yet-another-ECD-which-was-not-updated syndrome which, I presume, sucks most of your Technical Assistance time... :-? Me wonders, would it be possible to include the EDC microcode within the EFIS firmware, and let the EFIS manage the EDC update...

Absolutely true, especially on composite-made airplanes like my Pipistrel Virus. Infact, the Vans article specifically mentions the Pipistrel Sinus, same exact plane as mine but with a 50ft wingspan instead of 41ft of the Virus. There have been two accidents, which luckily turned out to be...

first of all, make sure you're running the latest 496 firmware from Garmin, version 2.80 is the current and it fixes some issues with the NMEA data stream. Second, make sure that you have selected the appropriate NMEA mode on the 496, let me quote what Joel Haynes wrote six weeks ago in another...

fair enough. But would it be possible to use only one single fuel flow sender attached to one of the carburetors of my 912, and double that fuel flow reading to obtain the total fuel flow? Would simply tweaking the K-value in the flow sender page work? Are there any hard limits on the value...
