Dual SkyView touch with dual ADAHRS. Recent warning states the secondary adahrs is offline with errors. When reviewing configuration the secondary ahadhrs shows red X across its position. It does show on the network config screen as installed and ready. I received information from Jeff at Dynon about turning reversion mode off and reboot. That procedure did not correct situation. I have reviewed install manual and do not see anything about reversion mode. Does anyone have thoughts about possible cause of adahrs dropping out? Thanks in advance!

I assume this worked at some point. If so, before you go overboard I suggest you check each network connector securely plugged in. If that does not fix it, then on the connectors associated with the secondary ADAHRS (and there may be serveral depending on how you did the network) look for a pin that is not fully seated. Do this by removing the shell, loosening the wire restraint and trying to pull each pin out.

Both of these got me at one point, but luckily not at the same time.

Reversion mode has more to do with redistributing the contents of a display when the other fails, but doesn't have any bearing on ADAHRS failure. There are a few ways to troubleshoot this, either by using the ADAHRS selection screen in the setup menu (to see if the ADAHRS is online at all, but it sounds like you've been here). You can also see what the SkyView Network Status page reports too (but you figured that out). Most likely cause is, as Carl says, connectivity, followed by the failure of the ADAHRS itself. One other thing you could try is connecting each ADAHRS one at a time physically and doing a network reconfigure to see what that yields in terms of performance.
