    Skyview WiFi intermittent no communication.

    Thanks Stewart and much appreciated for the quick response. Unfortunately, my 10" HDX displays are prior to hardware version 4. Despite the claim of displays outside the specified serial number range not being affected, I am experiencing this problem. I'll report this to support.

    Skyview WiFi intermittent no communication.

    Curious to know if others still encounter this problem. It's almost as if SkyView has a timer. Somewhere after 10 min, my iPad will report ADS-B connection lost. I can confirm that the iPad is still connected to the SkyView WiFi adapter. Disabling and re-enabling WiFi on the iPad does appear to...

    Dynon Video Adaptor

    The camera has an RCA connector that plugs right into the adapter. You need to supply 12v power to the camera.

    Skyview WiFi intermittent no communication.

    I have twin HDX displays, too, with adapters on both screens. I also experience intermittent disconnections. I usually leave it alone and hope that the issue resolves itself. Unfortunately, it never does. HDX still displays traffic and weather, but anything connected via WiFi loses connection.

    SkyView for turbine helicopter

    Hi. Has anyone used SkyView and its associated engine monitor for a turbine application and/or helicopter? I'm already familiar and invested with Dynon in my plane; so, not a bakeoff inquiry. It's whether SkyView has the ability to monitor engine RPMs up to 62,000, and if it's capable of...

    Skyview Wish List

    Provide a tape or indicator for height above ground (AGL). Great for guys that do lots of mountain flying and for guys that fly inland from sea-level airports. Also include altitude callouts like the airliners. Avidyne makes a 500' callout, but it'd be nice if Dynon could provide 200', 100'...

    We need to talk about the dimming problem

    Just a note of caution, it's not wise to configure dimmed settings only while on the ground. Your battery puts out ~12.8v. However, your alternator puts out ~14v while in flight. I've had to adjust and readjust my settings after multiple flights. Even then, retarding the throttle on long...

    Switching Com from IFD540 to Dynon Com Panel/ GPS Map Question

    Not sure why your IFD shows a KS area. If it doesn’t receive an accurate signal, it typically reverts to Avidyne’s support facilities in MA. This is by design. As for your Dynon radio, it also uses GPS to determine NRST airport. It’s not automatic btw. You have to set the airport ID that you...

    Flightradar/Flightaware data feeding

    ADS-B data are JSON files. The DRX doesn't appear to encrypt WiFi traffic (and I wouldn't bother as there's nothing private), just a simple wireless key. Anyway, you can use a laptop connected to the DRX with an HTTP JSON receiver to capture the data fields. Descriptors for ADS-B is public...

    Auto power off

    I know this isn't advertised or documented as a feature for the DRX. However, if you can automatically turn on when voltage is added, I'm hoping you can have the unit shutdown when voltage drops in a future firmware.

    Flightradar/Flightaware data feeding

    The DRX is and ADS-B receiver and not a transponder.

    ADS-B traffic reception strength

    Perhaps you have a defective unit. My friend just purchased one and we tested it, today. We only installed the antenna and updated the firmware to 1.0.3. Upon initial test while sitting on the ground at KDWH, we could see all the aircraft flying overhead in the pattern and on departure (up to 5...

    Usefulness of KNOB and PANEL?

    You need one of these: https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/avpages/skyviewnethub.php?gclid=Cj0KCQjwy6T1BRDXARIsAIqCTXrwCdXTAbuNnREcEKm28J1DEowVFnNjxtcDP3BgZguboTmiU2ngoq4aAl-uEALw_wcB. It'll increase your 9-pin connectors.

    Surefly RPM Problem

    I don't know about P-mag's, but I do know the SureFly units well. I was one of their first dual customers back in 2017. After months of troubleshooting, I called SureFly and was advised by Jason of SureFly that it was not possible without the tach board. Their units produce pulse waves and must...

    What remote control grip functions do you have enabled?

    Usefulness of KNOB and PANEL?

    Biggest value of the AP-PANEL in my opinion is auto-trim! Sure, the other buttons reduce the layered menus/buttons from the SkyView displays ONLY if you plan to use the advanced AP functions. They will do nothing if using the simplified AP controls. The AP-KNOB is beneficial when paired with...

    KX155 COMM/NAV W/ GS

    I had a KX155 connected to a SkyView Classic before upgrading to HDX and removing the NAV radio. I can confirm it worked fine for navigation and approaches. I can’t recall the wiring but I imagine it still went through the ARINC module.
