    Intermittent Knob Panel Offline

    I'll give that a try and report back. The only problem is that the problem is so intermittent, I may not ever know if it fixed it!

    Intermittent Knob Panel Offline

    My Knob Panel (Dual Skyview classic 10" and touch 10" screens) will sometimes get a CAUTION message and the Network Status will show it Offline. This has been happening infrequently. It seems to come and go. Last week, out and back to Oshkosh from SoCal it happened on just one leg. I've swapped...

    We need to talk about the dimming problem

    The Skyview dimmer knob is connected per the installation manual. Power to the red wire, ground to the black wire and dimmer input to the violet wire that is connected to both SV displays on pin 25 on the 37 pin connectors. The Brightness menu shows the Voltage being produced on the violet wire...

    We need to talk about the dimming problem

    I just installed the manual dimmer knob and have tried to get it to work as I would expect. The Brightness menu has it set to external and moving the knob does make the screen (10" touch and a 10" classic SV display) go dim and bright. The issue is the dim is way too dim and by barely moving...

    Dynon Comm Help

    I've left voicemail with Dynon Service/Support. I did some further testing last night. Put my iPhone on voice memo recording next to my handheld (20 yards from the airplane), then did several different transmissions from the Dynon COM in the airplane. Several frequencies were very...

    Dynon Comm Help

    I'm getting a very similar issue with my Dynon COM. I've heard back from several people over the last couple of months that my transmissions are mostly missing on certain frequencies, but they can hear my keying up. I have the original COM unit. When I first got it back in 2014, I had numerous...

    Pink Screen of Death

    Just a follow up. Dynon swapped out my EFIS with a newly refurbished unit (different serial number). I installed it and it seems to be working properly now!

    Pink Screen of Death

    The display issues have creeped up over time. Usually a reboot would eventually get it up and running. I noticed that cold/wet/humid weather also had some correlation. The wiring has been thoroughly checked. I did talk to the folks at Dynon today and they went over the prior RMA details. They...

    Pink Screen of Death

    Fast forward a month. I send Dynon the unit, pay the $450 flat rate fee for servicing, and they send back the unit. I plug it back in, and turn it on. Same issue. After several attempts, lo and behold, it displays just fine. Try it a couple of more times and it seems to be working again. I go...

    Pink Screen of Death

    I think it is time to make the call and send it in. I was going to do some pattern work today, but after repeated attempts at getting the Skyview display to come up, it never was able to. I get the verbal messages, so I know that the system should be up, but the screen is just a blue/pink mess...

    Pink Screen of Death

    I did search the forums before posting this. I found another thread on the Pink Screen of Death symptoms. I'm not seeing any vertical stripes, just a pink screen. Sometimes there is also a bit of blue mixed in. I've had this happen on boot up in the past. In those cases, cycling the power and...

    Pink Screen of Death

    Apologies to Microsoft for usurping their blue screen of death... I have had this happen now a couple of times. Boot up the avionics. All is well. Taxi out and poof! The screen goes pink. December 9, 2019: January 1, 2020: I am able to get it to come up correctly with a reboot attempt or...

    Locked up servo

    Interesting. I know for a fact that the AP servo has never been in any kind of moisture. I live in SoCal (very dry 99% of the time and we don't really have any humidity), the plane has been hangared, the servo is inside of the wing mounted against the spar where it would be above any sort of...

    Locked up servo

    Got the servo back from Dynon today. It is a remanufactured servo unit with a different serial number. No explanation on what they found.

    Locked up servo

    Reviving an older thread brought up by the Search feature. This describes my recent experience with my Roll servo. On the ground parked in my hangar, I was working on the airplane (RV-9A) and as I was walking around the wing, I put my hand on the aileron and found it completely locked in place...

    Traffic to ForeFlight with V15 software?

    Now that 15.3.3 is out, does anyone know if this status has changed? The ForeFlight page with a table of Skyview info provided is a year old and does not list ADS-B traffic or weather (yet).

    Airspace Proximity in V15

    I also noticed this new item on the PFD. Here in SoCal the airspace is pretty busy, so I did disable it. It was in one of the Map Items menus. It would be better if it didn't take up so much screen space. I'm already splitting the EFIS 3 ways, so the PFD is narrow.

    VPX screen a bit messed up in v15

    I noticed this also on my display. Good to know it will be fixed.

    Skyview shows Red TFR when there is none.

    Good to hear it is a bug that will be fixed. I was flying around my home base KRNM tonight and the TFR for this weekend's visit by POTUS was showing bright red everywhere. NOTAM won't be in effect until Saturday. It would be nice to be able to adjust the opacity of the red. It blocks all of the...

    Skyview D1000 and Van's RV7

    Yes, you will need to cut off the forward fuselage ribs and move them inward to accept the 10" screen. I have a single 10" screen, but left room for a second SV screen. Lots of pictures on my web site. www.overthehills.com
