Brief Description:  Testing 1

Time to apply power and test. This is fun. There have been lots of little bugs to fix. Let me list them.

1. I had to move the wings on each side of the fuselage and plug them in.

2. At first the wing lights wouldn't work. What the? Well I needed to ground them to the fuselage of course.

3. Then I thought I had issues with the strobes and nav lights. Turns out internally the Advanced Control Module (ACM) has them connected. You can have Nav only. But if you want strobes you also get Nav lights. Well okay.

4. Garmin wouldn't work right. Turns out the two memory chips were in the wrong slots. The terrain goes on the right and the monthly aviation database goes on the left. And the Garmin kept giving an error, no data received on RS 232 #1. Well it is not suppose to so I had to learn how to program the Garmin and turn that expectation off.

5. The automatic dimmer in the ACM is dimming my rocker panel to zero. Currenlty Advanced says that is a bug they are working on. I don't buy it. They just didn't use clean 12 volts to power the dimmer switch. I'll work on this one.

Oh did I mention everything works for the most part. Radios too. Very fun.

6. The D6 won't recognize the remote compass. Can't fix. Returning those two parts to Dynon tomorrow to let them fix it.
