Release 2.0 Autopilot

[jlakins]

Has anyone installed 2.0 and tested the autopilot yet?
I have installed 2.0 and performed AP calibration but I do not have track or nav buttons in the mode menu. The only button there is heading.
I am using a GNS430W for GPS1 and the HSI sees GPS1 and will slave to a heading from the GPS1.
I have reread the AP section of the manual and can not find anything wrong in the configuration.
Any Ideas?
Jim

Are you moving? You can't engage the GPS stuff without GPS ground speed if I am remembering correctly.

Is the 430 the ONLY GPS you have hooked to the SkyView, or do you have another one as well? Wondering, since we can't get time or date off a 430 if that is causing an issue (we need this co calculate magnetic variation which is why it matters).

I have a GPS-250 installed also and set to POS1.
Are you indicating that you do not think the buttons will appear unless I have a GPS ground speed?
The weather is starting to clear so I can go fly soon and test that.

I am pretty sure that you can't see the TRK or NAV buttons until you are moving. Otherwise your configuration is well tested and should work fine.

You are right.
Just got back from a short very bumpy flight and the buttons appear when moving.
Way to rough to try tuning the AP but all the modes engage.
Thank You Dynon Support !
