EDC-D10A Calibration

[rodger1331]

Anyone out there who can give me some guidance on calibrating the EDC-D10A module. I have installed it in a tail dragger and about to run through the calibration procedures.
Does the aircraft have to be in a flying attitude during the calibration process and if not, does it need to be sitting on level ground. The airfield where the aircraft is based has a pronounced slope so do I need to find somewhere reasonably horizontal before running the calibration procedure
The installation manual does not cover these questions and I noticed that when I ran the Dynon D100 on the bench, the EDC-D10A unit was very susceptible to attitude changes so is the calibration procedure designed to take into account all of the above conditions.

Many thanks if someone could clarify these concerns.

I would also like reminding whether I should calibrate my EDC-10A in level flight attitude. I didn't and haven't seen any major issues, but there's always room to improve.

It shouldn't matter, but there's a subtle bug that we discovered that means that you'll get best results when you calibrate the heading in a level flight attitude. There's a software update that we're testing that fixes this - if you'd like to try the "release candidate" or preview version, it's available here:

Note that the above software, though we believe it to be stable, has not gone through our formal release process at this point.

That is great news. Will this bug fix be applied to both the D100 series and Skyview series products?

Being on the other side of the world, returning my unit isn't easy, so I will wait for the full production release of software.

This update is for the D100/D10A. SkyView doesn't have this issue.
