I'm in the process of measuring under-cowl temps in flight with a home-brew data logger. I plan on merging oil temp and fuel flow data into the graph of time vs temp, but would like to mark flight...

I'm in the process of measuring under-cowl temps in flight with a home-brew data logger. I plan on merging oil temp and fuel flow data into the graph of time vs temp, but would like to mark flight...
Yes, thanks…so I’ve read here. I’m troubleshooting non-fluctuating, but low, oil temps, and trying to avoid pulling the vernatherm (awkward location). More than likely the issue is an efficient...
Is the Dynon 100409-000 oil temperature sensor a suitable replacement for the AFS 40405 on my IO-320D1A and AFS5400 / SV-EMS?
OK, that's helpful, thanks. It makes sense because when I got that 5400 from you guys, that number had been set to the airplane's stall speed.
I have an "AFS Pilot" autopilot, which was installed by the builder 10 years ago in conjunction with the AFS4500 with in-wing ports for the AoA system. When the 4500 died, I replaced it with a 5400...
Thanks for the reply
This is a simple question with a probably-simple answer that I just can’t seem to pull out of the manual.
On my 5400, I routinely get checklists slide in to the right side of the screen at various...
Just an update, as I've had a few queries via PM from pilots that were having the same or similar problem.
Regarding most of avionics, I am generally a total noob. I've been flying airplanes...
OK, no-joy. Let me ask it this way... my ADS-B out was working fine with the old AFS 4500/Crossbow. When I switched it out for the 5400 with SV network, the ADS-B is no longer getting barometric...
Six months ago, I replaced my AFS4500 EFIS with an AFS 5400. After doing that, my avionics A&P noted a small static leak..OK for VFR, not IFR, he said. I then ran a PAPR and it showed a failure in...
I'll have to check, thanks. My situation is different from yours, though. My 5400 came with the v16 beta software, and although the 15.1 manual said there would be three positions ...UP - CENTER -...
The pinouts are correct, and I do get change in displayed adval as the flaps move. So although electrical damage to the POS is possible, I'm more inclined to think that there might be some actual...
No. I just checked it…the adval moves the same way as the display on the EFIS. That is, it doesn’t move smoothly/linearly throughout its range either. My previous 4500 didn’t do that. Is there a...
Interesting exercise. As is often the case, it's never as easy as it looks on paper.
On the EMS-to-network female connector, if found that a) the wiring colors were mostly different than the...
But they don't, Shawn. They do not interpolate. That's what these posts have been about. I even included a video in my first post (above), but sincerely I apologize for my inability to make my...
OK, thanks. I'm hooked up right then, correct pin 9, set to EMS.
The 15.1 install manual page 184 indicates there would be full-up, center, and full down options on the flap calibration screen...
Hmmm...we did, but I don't recall specifically if moving pin 34 to pin 9 was part of that process. I'll have to check when I get back in there to jumper pin 7 to 5 on my EMS network harness to get...
Got it. Cut and terminate the orange wire, get 8 volts from the red wire at pin 7 to pin 5.
5400 upgrade from non-functional 4500. I'm having trouble calibrating flap position. The 15.1 install manual page 184 indicates there would be a full-up, center, and full down entries but all I have...
The orange wire in the network cable to the EMS module isn't connected to anything? Just terminated and has no job in the SV-EMS-220?
From page 135 of the 15.1 install manual...
Thanks Shawn
As I work through the last stages of my 4500 -> 5400 upgrade, I note that I have a fuel flow reading of zero. Looking over the manual, I see that page 135 of the 15.1 install manual says:
"AF5000...
..never mind...figured it out
I just went through this. I can't find any current documentation either. We struggled a bit calibrating my airplane until a call to Rob explained that the canopy had to be closed. My ADAHRS SV-200 is...
I just went through this. The YouTube video of Rob showing the calibration process isn't applicable to the version 16 software, apparently. We hauled my plane out to the airport's compass rose, and...
