Technical Support / Re: help connecting to Dynon skyview

« on: March 16, 2017, 08:40:10 am »

Just to let you know all worked well in the skyview, whilst the skyview gives a traffic warning, it doesnt give the more detailed audio details of where the target is so im keeping the audio output from the PA into the music input on the Garmin GMA 240. On take off and landing i mute the music input, the skyview only gives traffic alerts when airborne.


Thanks for the great support and great product, wish it were made mandatory for all GA aircraft as am surprised how many aircraft i see visually have no conspicuity device.

thanks Peter and Ian - i got it working through putty

2 things i did wrong - i used a gender changer connector for the 2 cables, I didn't appreciate i needed to crossover the Tx and Rx pins

I had configured port 4 as the Dynon traffic and not appreciated the usb assignments as per Peter's post. The usb serial cable is actually plugged into port 1 (top left next to the Ethernet plug)

Ill take it down to the plane later today and check it there, however, this is now looking promising as lots of data is flowing into the putty screen where as before there was nothing

I tried the cable on both USB ports 1 and port 4 (does it make a difference?) - that said i've used the port the PA shows on the config page - as attached

The baud rates were set the same on both output on PA and the PC - I tried various baud rates, matching them on botht he PA and the PC

i set the output on the PA to dynon traffic and also tried auto

config page attached

thxs again Lee and others

Ive noticed the USB port settings only list a FLARM -IN , is this the correct one to use?

Ive purchased a serial to USB connector https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00QUZY4WO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Ive connected the Transmit out to a  serial input on the skyview and tried various settings on both the PA (which recognises the USB-serial adaptor) and the Skyview but nothing is happening - no packets are being received by the skyview.

I know the serial input works on the skyview as a gps puck was connected on this channel before and worked.

How can i test if the usb converter is sending data?

any other things i can try?

thanks

General Discussion / Can PA wifi be renamed?

« on: March 05, 2017, 08:59:27 am »

Love this product. Ive only used it 3 times, yesterday whilst flying it picked up 2 aircraft at the same level way before i saw them. I fly out of elstree so airspace is squashed in and busy especially at weekends. For the cost, its a no brainer in my judgement.

Ive recently fitted a hard wired high current USB port - seems like no interference although i noticed the number of satellites detected on my dynon skyview was low and hence my GPS altitude was showing -2,500 feet  .  The altitude on the PA was spot on with the actual attitude This may just be a glitch as i had upgraded the SV software that morning and the first 2 flights with PS shows no anomaly.

Anyhow, i recently started at Turweston and noted 2 PA wifi networks and couldn't for the life of me remember which one was mine. Can the wifi name be easily changed?

General Discussion / newbie question - Dynon skyview ADSB 470

« on: January 10, 2017, 09:04:37 am »

hi there

Im new to this PAW and like what i see

I have a dynon skyview system with the dynon (Trig) transponder.

when i installed the system i was told their ADSB module wont work in the UK. Im confused though as to what the dynon module does and how is it different to the PAW system (apart from the Dynon being way more expensive)

Also, can the PAW system be hooked up to display traffic on the SV screen?

Apologies if these are stupid questions, ive searched google and cant find the answers.
