Updating XTreme EMS Firmware

My XTreme EMS is v2.01 and as far as I can tell, has always worked great and continues to do so! I carefully calibrated my fuel tank senders, solid-state oil pressure sensor, etc. and get extremely (pun intended!) accurate indications. I notice that there have been several firmware updates since 2.0...

Re: XTreme EMS NMEA Data Baud Rate

Thanks for the quick response, Franz! I just want the fuel range computed. My previous iFly 740 GPS was connected via a USB to serial cable to a DB9 connector cable that goes to the XTreme EMS. The Android tablet is communicating via bluetooth to a Sena Parani SD-1000 bluetooth to serial adapter tha...

Re: XTreme EMS NMEA Data Baud Rate

I found the adjustable baud rate in the GPS setup menu - Thanks! I have a Hugerock X7 Android tablet that runs iFly EFB. I was attempting to transmit the GPS sentences data from the tablet via bluetooth to a Sena Parani SD-1000 BT-to-Serial adapter. I couldn't get it to work despite matching the bau...

XTreme Autopilot Preflight Check Problem

My XTreme autopilot setup used to work correctly. I hadn't used the AP for quite some time due to a sheared servo screw that I finally got around to replacing. After the repair, I went through the entire setup procedure for the pitch and bank servos. After setting up the AP, I ran the preflight chec...

XTreme autopilot slow airspeed limit?

I have a Gen 1 XTreme EFIS with MGL servos in my Zenith STOL 750. I flew for a long time without slats and my cruise was about 80 kts and the AP did OK. Later, I installed the slats, bigger tires, etc., dropping my cruise to about 72 kts. With the AP engaged, it now banks back and forth and it is ve...

Autopilot "Wallowing"

I have the XTreme mini-EFIS driving the MGL servos for bank and pitch. Both in the "bugs" and "wpt" modes, my Zenith 750 STOL "wallows" or in other words, rolls left for a few seconds and then rolls right. It tracks the heading OK, but this "wallowing" is uncomfortable! It also holds altitude quite ...
