Some findings from a weekend debugging/troubleshooting: - when power from the ibox (v2) removed I can change the baro pressure on the iefis, but it jumps back immediately when the ibox is powered on. - removing all the can connectors from the ibox doesn't make a difference - the 440 messages seem to...

Hi, Because of personal reasons I didn't fly for +/- 6 months and my airplane was in a dry hangar all the time. A few weeks back I pulled the plane out of the hangar for a flight but the efis displays a big red cross over the transponder (trig transponder with mgl interface) and rotating the baromet...

As a test only, I screwed the SP7 to a large piece of wood and put that in the baggage compartment behind the rear seats. This is a little behind and above the center of rotation, but still very close (~30 centimeters), and connected the device using an extension cable. During some tests the SP7 see...

thanks for the detailed reply. My iEFIS is showing correct airspeed and true airspeed as well, but I will check the double flash LED on the SP7. I will also check the mount of the SP7 or otherwise move it around and do some test flights to see if I can get any better results. Will update this topic ...

Hi, I am testing my new MGL setup and have some issues with the SP7. I couldn't find anything similar on this forum, I hope people can help me out. While testing during a test flight when I bank (+/- 30 degrees or more) the virtual horizon starts to bank but then quite quickly levels back off again ...

Hi, I am installing my MGL (ibox + iEFIS challenger) system and trying to test as much as possible in the simulator. It seems there is a function for the digital inputs that is labeled "EFIS Audio On/Off". I am wondering if this is a "toggle" function or whether high means "audio-on" and low means "...

I found out that the active is high or low only is applicable to the function that is selected, but not to the alarm.
Apparently the alarm is only/always triggered when the digital input is high, but the function that is selected is executed depending on the active is <state> that whas choosen.

Hi, I have a device that pulls a line to gnd which I want to trigger an alarm on the iefis using the ibox digital inputs. To test this I installed the simulator and configured the digital input and configured "Active level is low" and enabled the alarm. However, the alarm is triggered when the input...

Thank you for the answer. I assume this is done because if the fuel flow sender was installed before the fuel regulator the reading would be less acurate/useless since it would include the flow from the fuel return line ? I think it makes sense to install it into the carb feed, however the fuel line...

Hi, I am installing the MGL fuel flow sender but don't know which Jet size to choose for my engine. My engine is a Rotax 914, burning aprox 20l in cruise. I am a bit confused by the Jet sizes and the flow ranges. Is there anybody who can give any advice on the correct jet size for a rotax 914? Thank...
