I am installing a Skyview System that will use the Avidyne IFD440 as the IFR navigator. I am interested in using the IFD fuel computation capability as an adjunct to the fuel data available from the Skyview system.

The Dynon EMS can use Red Cube fuel flow rate and manual and automatically input fuel quantities to estimate fuel remaining at waypoints, fuel range, etc. The Dynon EMS RS232 serial data output format is detailed in the Skyview System Installation Manual at pages 26-7 +. Avidyne IFD (and Garmin GNS?) RS232 serial data input formats regarding fuel data are: "Arnav/ei-fuel" and "Shadin-Fuel".

Is there a Dynon Skyview RS232 serial output configuration that is compatible with IFD and GNS serial data inputs? Is there a plan to configure a Arnav/ei/Shadin fuel sentence that will be output from the Skyview system?

Thanks!

Did you ever get an answer to this? It seems that like the serial interface between the HDX and the IFD is limited to VHFCNTRL that allows display of avidyne com radio on the skyview display.

There is no built in way to accomplish this.

Is this for a certified aircraft or an experimental? If the later, it is possible with some extra parts.
