MAP sensor

Good morning

I am in the process of working out the wiring on my EG-33 installation and am curious if, since my Engine Computer requires a MAP sensor, as well as RPM, Water Temp, etc, can I feed these same signals to my Dynon EMS for monitoring or will I need to add an entire second set of senders to my engine installation.

SkyView is primarily designed to work with the sensors we sell. If you are VERY technical, see http://wiki.dynonavionics.com/Making_your_own_sensor_definitions for the basics on how you can make other sensors work with SkyView by characterizing them yourself. Passive temperature and pressure sensors generally can't be fed to more than one instrument or device, as the act of hooking them up to more than one thing ca change their output. From your list though - likely RPM is the only re-useable output, as long as it's a frequency output.

OK, so if I were to connect up the MAP sensor output to pin 26 of the EMS-220, assuming the engine computer were inputting 5 volts and both units shared the same ground potential, is there any chance of damageing the Dynon?

If your MAP sensor has a DC output of 0-5V, it won't damage the SV-EMS-220.
