I’m surprised to see that I can’t seem to do anything to combine signals or do any math with them before displaying on the screen or to trigger an alert. There are a few things I would do immediately if I could:
1) I have fuel sensors both at the inboard and at the outboard edge of my long tanks on a dihedral. I’d like to calibrate them separately (there’s a little overlap in levels) and then do some math to produce fuel level, or alert if the 2 are nonsensical (the outboard one could get stuck up for example). As is I’d have to combine those signals before plugging them in.
2) Stall warning AoA can be made dependent on flap position throughout the flap range. Whether that’s wise is a question perhaps, but I would think about it.
3) many things could be done with oxygen system sensing, blood O2 monitor, pressure altitude, cabin temperature, heat, lights, etc. that might be experimental but might also prove useful, especially for smart alerts.
Am I correct in asserting that the Skyview doesn’t do any kind of math on inputs other than scaling? Why can’t I combine my 2 fuel gauges from 1 tank?
This seems like a functionality no-brainer to me. I would have thought I’d have access to a Python interpreter and all the input pins, and also be able to assert warnings based on a value derived from inputs. I do this at home.
Without it I may have to build my own hardware interface, and it would not likely have the same robustness of hardware design. A non-hardened rpi for instance may fall apart in turbulence.
What say Dynon? Math or no math?
