    SYSEVENT 20 , HDX went black

    Experienced a similar event on a new HDX install with about 100 hours on the Hobbs. This happened during runup. Rebooted twice with a Sysevent 20 and a Sysevent 21, then resumed normal operations. What I was able to glean from tech support is that a Sysevent 20 is a software generated event...

    RV-8 SV-EMS-220 install location and Firewall Penetration

    I upgraded my RV-8 this year to a dual Dynon HDX Skyview system and used The Dynon Fast Track universal mounting trays. With the exception of the ADAHRS, I was able to mount all the Skyview components behind each screen. The ADAHRS was mounted in the rear of the fuselage. Not all RVs can...

    Reversion Mode with 3 Displays

    There is an elusive bug in the Skyview system that results in a black screen. Speculation is that it is associated with screen swaps and Reversion mode. Dynon recommends that you disable Reversion mode when using multiple monitors. Related post...

    system event 20 and 21

    I get it, but I don't like it, particularly when your new PFD reboots in flight. Some system event codes are well defined. I.E. "System Event 5 indicates that the SkyView display's internal Solid State Disk (SSD) is experiencing an abnormal number of errors, and thus should be replaced."...

    system event 20 and 21

    My wingman just installed a new Dynon Skyview HDX panel. I was in the plane with him last weekend and we experienced the same event during runup. It rebooted twice, then it was okay. We also experienced a system event 3 when trying to export some waypoints. We believe we can reproduce the...

    Dynon Skyview com radio cuts out intermittently

    I think you are on the right track looking for loose connectors. Any thoughts on why the antenna cable was loose? To help quantify the frequency of com radio loss, I would download the alert log file and review the type and frequency of alerts. I.E. I.E. Alert Type (Audio/Text) Action...

    Noise in Dynon HDX intercom when Autopilot engaged

    Good luck. FWIW, this is what worked for me. I would still place a call to Dynon. Capacitor

    Noise in Dynon HDX intercom when Autopilot engaged

    All DC motors produce noise. Some are more egregious than others. I've addressed this problem on two occasions. The problem can be addressed by installing a noise suppression capacitor across the motor terminals, as close to the motor as possible. I have one on my flap motor and one on my...

    Troubleshooting SV-COM-T25 Constant Static Sound

    I only have a few hours on my panel but I believe when you change the squelch setting by pressing the volume knob, an indicator will be temporarily displayed in the comm panel window that reflects the squelch setting.

    Troubleshooting SV-COM-T25 Constant Static Sound

    Hmmm...... If you connect the same cable and antenna to the Icom A200 you get no static. If you connect the same cable and antenna to the Dynon radio, you get static. If this is the case, could the Dynon squelch be Inop?

    Troubleshooting SV-COM-T25 Constant Static Sound

    Your tests with connecting/disconnecting the cable and trying a new cable imply that the noise you are hearing is being generated external to the device. You also noted that the RX indicator is illuminated when hearing the static which would also imply the noise you are hearing is being...

    Stumped with ADAHRS Failures

    The user data logs contain ADAHR elements. Do they contain any useful sensor failure info, either on the prior good flight, or current bad ground run up?

    Stumped with ADAHRS Failures

    It would be highly unusual to have all sensors in both units fail simultaneously. Where are the ADAHR units installed in the aircraft? Could dynamic magnetic fields be causing these failures?

    HDX Newbie Screwup

    That is a known bug in the system. Contact Dynon Tech support and they will send you a file to restore the screen. It is an elusive bug that seems to be related to swapping screens. No one has been able to recreate it. Speculation is that having Reversion Mode enabled might induce the...

    Auto display Airport diagram

    Agreed. I tired 8 times and only got it to work once in the hangar today. I tried originating the request from both the PFD and MFD. No joy. It was nice when it did work. I was able to to fill the entire screen with the plate.
