Gear Overspeed

[fly4fn]

Good morning everyone. Just began initial flight test on my freshly minted Velocity STD RG. Love the Dynon EFIS but am still adjusting to the information layout as opposed to steam gauges. I have noticed that for some reason I continuously get a "gear over speed" as soon as I get over 150 kts, which is the set speed for maximum gear extension speed. This would be good if the gear were in fact down. For some reason the system thinks the gear are down when they are up, any suggestions?

So you MUST have a contact input called GEAR that has named states of exactly UP and DOWN. That widget should then be added to your EMS layouts so you can see that it's in the right state at any given moment. Do you have a GEAR widget that's in the UP position when you're getting the alert?

I only had the widget labeled for the DOWN condition, not the UP, is that the most likely cause? Rather than label it UP, I simply had the color changed to red.

Yep, that's probably it.
