I have posted these before, but it has been a while. I had all sorts of trouble with the Dynon provided connectors, and finally went to what I used professionally years ago (non-aircraft). They can be purchased from Omega Engineering, are about $4 each, and are reusable, and quick...

From a GE thermocouple training manual comment: "Thus twisting, welding, soldering, crimping - they all work, until... until corrosion sets in between the connections. Thus, twisting is the least preferable over time because the metal is neither fused nor crushed together sufficiently to form...

Also take a look at the Flight Data systems audio mixer at:  http://www.fdatasystems.com/ap-60-audio-mixer I have this in my plane and it has worked well for me. It provides a different installation format relative to the MakerPlane mixer mentioned by Jake, so you have some options depending...

Received my upgraded 472 on May 8th, installed, old unit returned. Haven't flown with it yet, due to really bad weather the last several weeks on the US east coast. Nothing but low clouds and rain! :P

Actually, the product description says "Oil/Fluid Pressure Sender", but as you stated, it does not specifically state fuel as the other pressure sensors do, so it was a reasonable question.

The file extension should be .duc per HB101's comment  .duc is a file extension like .doc or .exe that describes the type of file.  The .duc is a dynamic user configuration file for reconfiguring or updating  a system, although Dynon may be using it differently in a proprietary way.  Ray is...

Again, just a word of caution regarding the FlightAware filter. There are at least two reports suggesting that the filter may (may, not necessarily does) squelch the 978 signal to the extent it is not processed through the 472. Remember, a by-pass filter passes specific frequencies and blocks...

Just saw the new updates for the software and guides have been posted. :D

This may or may not be helpful, but Dynon has also recommended that the transponder tray itself be grounded if you have not already done so (see Figure 123 and bottom of page 11.9). Grounding issues can cause all sorts of hard to troubleshoot issues, especially around radiated energy. Also...

mmarien - Nicely done!

TurboPilot - just stating that it is not as simple as "working or not working" in a strategic sense, and that it "is" complicated.  It may be a short-term fix in your case, but it may not be the right solution for everyone.  Again, based on some empirical testing reports I have read, there may...

I just wanted to suggest a bit of caution on the filter. I had read a couple of reports that suggested the filter may significantly attenuate the 978 MHz signal in some cases. That means one could be back to a single frequency ADS-B with no plane-to-plane 978 signal. You may see improvement...

I suggest everyone go back and look at all the posts by HB101 and George and look at how they employ "civility and respect".  My comments have been directed to some posts as being uneducated and better directed to your local educators (EAA chapters) rather than the forum; however, my main...

Ohh...other than "That Know It All Guy" who send me a nasty PM and told me I should "buy a Garmin" ...so if you are that guy...please do not respond...because you are just a "Delta Hotel" and I would rather buy a Garmin than listen to advice from you...however...I do wish you a nice life...

You are "entitled" to nothing regarding documentation unless Dynon wants to provides it. I Googled the US Penal Codes and couldn't find any law that said you were "entitled". You are only "entitled" to not buy the equipment if you don't like how Dynon is developing the documentation. If you...

Agree with Jake. Chill and let Dynon get it done within the parameters they define, not you! 2.5 million drones in the US, projected to be 7 million by 2020. You will never see ADS-B on commercial drones due to cost and questionable need. Also the altitude limit is 400 ft, and not within 5...

I suggest you sell your Dynon on eBay and go buy a $40K Garmin with their impeccable documentation ;D. There are 3 or 4 people on the discussion forums that have no clue, but like to spout off like they know exactly what it takes to develop an avionics product, hire the right people, and make...

Accolades for your work, but your ingenuity really proves nothing.  Will your system work on every airplane out there?  You have no clue without extensive testing and deep pockets.  And that is Dynon's problem as I understand it, getting it to work on every plane.  Not necessarily a trivial matter.

Happened to me a few years ago. Support sent me new connectors/pins free of charge. Call them.

How about mounting engine sensors? Like where (considering engine vibration), manifold pressure sensor connections to the engine, etc.
