Curious if you see traffic on foreflight when your iPad is interfaced with the HDX? I do not.

Hi Gordon. I mounted it in the right wingtip as far aft as I could so as minimize interference from my FlyLeds “The works” lighting. I do suggest that you pull another network cable from a hub inside the aircraft and not extend the network cable out to your roll servo by adding a hub in the...

I think I found the D-Sub back shells that Dynon uses in their kits. These are the plastic clam shell type that can be used with either flat or round cables. Found on Newark.com. I was unable to cross the part numbers over to Digikey or Mouser so if anyone has anything to add towards that, I'd...

Installation of the Remote Magnetometer got me past the Compass calibration failing. I built a bracket out of some stock aluminum and attached it using brass hardware. Now when I fly south, the compass indicates south. :)

I did read that in the manual regarding the placement of the OATs. The former OATs were previously installed there. If I move them, I will have holes in the NACA vents. I am not adverse to moving the OATs. Maybe I can use those small holes to pipe some cooling in for the avionics. In the winter...

Since my OAT sensors are installed on the fuselage in the NACA vents. I wonder if it will screw them up if I cut the wires and add a length of wires in the middle (two splices in each wire)? I figure if it throws it off, I can edit the offset for it based on the other one which will be attached...

Hi Jake, I decided not to because the builder of the airplane put two antennas in close proximity of that area. One on top, and one on the bottom of the fuse. I already had pitot and static at the instrument panel along with a G5 for backup which needs the plumbing too. So rather than have to...

I have two SV-MAG-236 magnetometers on the shelf. I just can't install them yet as I have strobe packs in the wing tips. Those are on the way out in favor of LEDs. I am going to try the 201 today. I set it as primary and giv'r a swing. Let's see how that goes....

Seems that one of my ADHARS units is not taking a compass calibration. The message is: "Calibration failed: S/N 13751" I checked the network config and that SN is for the main ADHARS 200. This is installed in an RV-10 in the Dynon tray with the EFIS. @Dynon is there a remedy for this without...

Thanks Preid. I think I did do all that. I just got back from almost 4 weeks on the road so I'll be back in the hangar this weekend to resume. I did buy a hand-held oscilloscope off amazon, so I should be able to test the Surefly Tach2 board for output.

Hi. I am installing the SV-EMS-220 engine monitor. I have read several posts regarding getting tach indications from a Surefly emag. All of which seem to point to needing the Surefly tach2 board installed. As luck would have it, I do indeed have the Surefly tach 2 board installed and am picking...

Yeah I think I am a going to move some stuff around. That pitot can definitely go on pin 9. I realize this is topic creep, but any suggestions for a best pin(s) for lateral and pitch trim indications? It’s all Ray Allen. I was thinking maybe 10 and 11 since I don’t fly a retract. I also have...

Anyone here ever notice that in the wiring block diagram, they show the Pitot being wired up on Pin 23, while in the installation guide, it tells us to stay away from pin 23 and suggests some other pins to use. Why the contradiction? I wired my Pitot status (white wire) up on pin 23 like the...

I purchased a firewall pass through kit and am interfacing the thermocouples direct with the unadulterated kit-supplied thermocouple harness. I made a tray for the EMS that resembles the box that was used for the Trutrack. That part is kinda cool, but you gotta have it high enough so that it...

Thank you. I wonder if the difference will be 10’s of degrees or 100’s. Any experiences or test data to share?

Thank you. All I have are crimp style. Re: The existing EDM connector… that would mean adulterating the TruTrak and I intend to sell or donate it to our EAA chapter. I can order some solder type tho! I’ll give it a shot and if temps are not reflective of what I expect them to be I’ll use a...

My RV-10 has a TruTrak firewall mounted EDM interface for the engine sensors and thermocouples. The EDM mounts to the firewall aft but has a firewall forward interface. That interface uses a standard 2-1/4 punch through with a stainless steel plate with the two DB25 pin connectors integrated...

Thank you for the quick reply. Since I have the trim amp, I may go ahead and install it since I have everything opened up (sigh). Especially since I would have runaway trim indication.

Hello forum, I am in the throes of installing my HDX system in my flying RV-10. My 10 has the Ray Allen T3-12A Elevator Trim actuator. My question here is, do I need the Dynon Trim amp to run the elevator trim or can I forego that in this particular application? Thanks in advance, Mike
