Brief Description: Testing the Skyviews
|
|
This is the really cool part of the build, setting up the Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) screens, and I must say, the inbuilt Dynon software is awesome. I spent ages today (much more than the time logged) playing around with all the available instrument and info symbols and setting them out how I like. I've setup the primary EFIS, the one in front of the pilot seat, with flight and engine instruments, and the secondary EFIS as the navigation screen. Of course, screens can be changed around very easily in flight, but these are my defaults at power up.
I also spent time today checking most of the engine instrument wiring inputs, all good, plus the headset jacks, not so good. The passenger side microphone jack wasn't working. I found I'd soldered a couple of the wires wrong way round, so a relatively easy fix.
I encountered another little problem when testing the stall warning input. The alarm tone worked okay, but the volume was way too loud in the headset. I ended up placing a 60k-ohm resistor in line with the audio signal from the tone generator, and that dropped the volume to a good level.
All awesome stuff, but there's one problem that is really bugging me ..... I've installed the secondary EFIS slightly out of square. It's only subtle, but if I don't fix it it will annoy me every time I get in the plane. Not sure how I'm going to fix it, but I'll think of something.
