Hi, I’ve trawled and couldn’t find a definitive answer.
I’m fitting a VPX sport as well as a Dynon HDX system, including the EMS 220
My flap position, using the Ray Allen POS 12 is wired to the VPX.
I noticed in the EMS set up that I can select the flaps to be configured for VPX or SkyVie. If it’s selected to VPX the flap ‘widget’ isn’t shown on the EMS display, if it’s configured for SkyView, it is.
My question is, can the POS 12 be wired to the VPX but Be displayed on the SkyView or does it need to be physically wired to the EMS to show the position? Or can I wire to both?

Sure can ! When it's done to the VPX you then need to to setup the EMS display & 'accept' the VPX widget/s.

Having trouble finding the ‘accept VPX widgets’ on the EMS setup page, any ideas?
I have ‘battery status (VPX)‘ shown but can’t seem to get the EMS to ‘find‘ the VPX flap position, as it isn’t in the drop down list of sensors. I feel like I’m going mad....

Ok, I’ve (Don at Dynon tech support to be fair) fixed the issue. in the VPX menu in the EMS, the FLAP POSITION was selected to SkyView EMS instead of VPX. As soon as I selected it to VPX, I was able to go into the sensor select for the 20/50/100% display and select flap position for each page, then go into the hardware calibration and set it to the angles I had in the VPX configurator. I thought I was going mad because of all the various settings involved for both the Dynon EMS and the VPX. I now have step presets for the flaps and can see them move in the widget.
