    Skyview Network Cable Testing Checklist?

    I know the Skyview network cable setup is very simple, but I bought a plane I did not build and have had two ADAHRS failures in the past couple of hours of flight. Initial ADAHRS operated for over 15 hrs, but the airspeed was always erratic. Returned that, new one failed at 2 hrs of operation...

    Skyview WiFi Adapter and Software Updates

    Ok in theory I'm thinking that if you set up your phone as a mobile hotspot and your Skyview is equipped with the WiFi adapter, it should be possible for the Skyview to download all the latest software updates directly from the Dynon site without first manually downloading each to a flash drive...

    Configuring GTN 650

    Hi all, In the manual I found what my settings need to be in order to output the correct info to the Skyview unit, but I cannot find how to access the setup screens on the GTN 650 which need to be accessed to configure those settings. Is there something I need to do on boot up to access these...

    Data Logging Defaults

    Does the EMS portion of the D180 log by default?  Are the data fields recorded the same as in the appendix of the user's guide (which looks like it is for real-time logging)? Thanks.

    Dynon Question - % Power LOP

    Hi Dynon tech folks. Question about % power: When the EFIS determines it is running LOP, how does it calculate % power? What about when the engine is NOT LOP?

    Dynon Interconnect Issues

    After repeated cycles of re-diagnosing intermittant connection issues between various Dynon units (and I've seen similar issues between components of other vendors), I've come to the conclusion that hard-wired solutions are simply a bad idea. My particular units are D180/HS34/EDC10A; but I'm...

    Recurring Remote Compass issue

    Ok, I'm a bit frustrated.  Flying for over a year with a D-180; early on had persistent problems with "Remote Compass Not Found" error, finally re-pinned both connectors and "squeezed" the female pins, thought I had it licked. Coming home from Oshkosh this week got the error again 30 miles from...

    Fuel Flow & Fuel Used

    This morning I confirmed my tanks were completely full up in Indiana and set fuel to "full," and at the end of a 2.6 hour flight home to Atlanta my D180 said 21 gallons used while the pump said 17.8 (call it 18) gallons (completely topped off). By the way - my average ground speed was 240mph...

    Thought I knew the answer...

    Just put my fuel tank back in my plane complete with a Princeton fuel probe. However, the Dynon did not seem to be able to tell when fuel was going up. Is this unit Type 1 or Type 2? Thanks!

    Site running sloooooowwwwwwwww.....

    Wasn't sure where to post this. The site seems to be slowing down a lot recently. I'm wondering if whatever the underlying database is (MySQL?) needs to have the equivalent of "reorganize" performed or some such maintenance?

    Hydraulic Pressure Sensor

    Has anyone found hydraulic pressure senders (0-1500psi or so) for a reasonable price that output linear 0-10v? I would like to add two to monitor my landing gear pressures (up/down). If so, would you please post a link? Thanks!

    Software Upgrade Issue

    Thought I'd post here to see if anyone else has experienced this before I start tracing wires. My D180 & HS34 are installed in my plane, and the serial connections for each are connected to a rotary switch (D180 Upgrades; D180 data logger; HS34 Upgrades). I've successfully performed 2 software...

    Fluctuating Manifold Pressure

    I have a D-180 installed in a Lancair 320 with an IO-320.  All new hoses with AN fittings between the MP takeoff port on the engine and the Dynon sensor, and in any event leakage does not appear to be the problem. The reading on the screen rapidly fluctuates +/- 1".  Is this "normal?"  Is there...

    Dashboard USB plug

    I want to hard wire a USB female plug into my dash so that I can bring my laptop and a standard USB plug to upgrade my D180 & HS34, as well as download EMS info. I use the rotary knob setup so I only need to mount one USB port. Is there a direct one-to-one mapping of wires to make a...

    Oil Temp Sensor - which one?

    After a long restoration I am flying, and getting information that my oil temps are running high. Can someone verify the correct sensor setting (Type 1 or Type 2) for a Dynon sensor with the value 07-23 stamped on the side? Thanks, Bill

    Fuel Transfer Calculator

    Several experimental aircraft have fuel tanks which first transfer into a header tank. How difficult would it be to add a feature (which would require additional fuel flow sensor/s) to calculate fuel transfer (e.g. removing quantity from tank 2 and adding it to tank 1)? While I know this...

    Bad EGT Reading - sensor is ok

    Today suddenly my #2 EGT started reading 2000+ degrees (about 2048?) with the engine off.  After tracing the wires to ensure no shorts / good continuity and also switching EGT probes and testing for response with a butane lighter on the probe, we determined that it is something inside the EFIS...

    Flight Plans and Airways

    I thought I asked about this but a search did not turn up any answer. Currently your autopilot only follows steering from an external GPS. Will the next generation system allow you to enter the flight plan directly into the EFIS? If so, will your data set support Victor airways? FYI, I seem...

    Special Kudos - Atlanta area

    Some of you may have read my recent thread concerning some issues getting my 2-year static IFR certification.   If you are looking for avionics help in the Atlanta area, let me give a shout-out and my personal recommendation to the folks at Georgia Avionics in Winder.  They were friendly, fast...

    No Fuel Pressure Reading

    Had my first flight the other day (D180/HS34) and most everything seems to be working with one exception - Fuel Pressure reads 0 under all conditions. Blowing into the sensor will yield up to +0.5psi. The sensor is inserted into the fuel injection distributor right where it would be on a twin...
