Re: Trim sensor and skyview
what make/part number is the sensor?
OK just re-read your post... slower this time.
Have you tried 12v on one side, ground the other and connect the "sweeper" to your sensor input on the EMS?
Any chance you can post a copy of the instructions?
Re: Trim sensor and skyview
I believe Airfox installed a Kitfox trim sensor kit to an Advanced Flight Systems panel. I believe the AFS and the Skyview are very similar. Maybe he will weigh in with some help.
Re: Trim sensor and skyview
I used the AFS trim sensor. Not sure how the independent sensor connects to the Dynons skyview. I imagine the Dynons manual gives some references to various sensors. Good luck.
Re: Trim sensor and skyview
Thanks everyone, I have tried the obvious. I have reversed the other two wires and no luck. I have had to replace two temp sensors that came with the rotax motor because the dynon would not recognize them. Was hoping someone has done this before and might have a tip on how they did it. Dynon instructions are for the Ray Allen sensor specifically and nothing on anything different.
Re: Trim sensor and skyview
My trim sensor has 3 wires - WHT/BLU, WHT/ORN, WHT/GRN. WHT/BLU ties to trim power used by all position sensors. WHT/ORN ties to ground used by all position sensors. WHT ties to elevator trim sensor on the Efis. I have Advanced Flight Systems 5800 EFIS and I'm using the trim sensor from AFS. Not sure if this info is useful? Good luck.

Re: Trim sensor and skyview
Have you talked directly with Dynon? Of course they are at Oshkosh too.
Re: Trim sensor and skyview
Thanks again, the sensor from Kitfox has a white/orange, blue/white, and white it honestly never occurred to me that the wht/orange is the ground. I will try that as soon as I get back from Osh. Leaving in the morning for my yearly fix.
