Yes the active rotation is limited to 180 degrees (preferably a little less to cater for tolerances). You must also make sure the position does not go through zero during the travel (you can rotate the arm or drum accordingly be means of the shear screw which has 4 positions). The 180 degree limitat...

Now the test app doesn’t see it, and just to be sure, neither does the MAG2 when plugged back. Can this be rescued? Ben I'm not sure I understand - what firmware did you flash into the SP-6 and SP-2 ? What do you mean with the above statement ? I hope you did not attempt to flash SP-2 firmware into...

The process of identifying a servo means assigning it a function - when it is new and you switch it on (connected to the EFIS) it's LED should be solid on. You will have only ONE servo connected - you then "identify" it as either a bank or pitch servo. The moment you do that the LED starts to flash ...

ADSB on the EFIS is always routed through a fixed wired connection from your ADS-B receiver (RS232).

The EFIS can send the ADS-B data it receives via it's RS232 connection via Wifi but it does not receive ADS-B via wifi.

Your avioguard is likely going into shutdown mode. The avioguard is capable of producing around 10 amps (even though we rate it less). However it is FAST - when it starts up it ramps up the output voltage rapidly and if the current exceeds the limit at this point it does what it is designed to do - ...

The MGL flow sender has a built in pull-up resistor at its signal output to its supply voltage. Place a volt meter between the signal line (blue) and the ground (braid) of the cable. Assuming you are running at 5V you will see either 5V or 0V at the signal line with respect to ground. Now get the im...

I assume you have selected engage straight and level for the I/O function ? And that you can see the level change reported as currently high when you press the button ? You can also verify the input levels in the diagnostics. BTW I assume you have wired it to the input marked A1 ? If you used D1 - t...

Difficult to say what the cause is - I see your screens are heavy customized. First thing to do would be to switch back to the built in screens and see if the issue goes away - if it does then have a careful look at your screen design - in particular if there are any items that draw outside of the s...

The VSWR reading is not the same as you typically get with a proper inline VSWR meter due to the measurement location in the transmit line - it is quite possible to get very low readings at the point of measurement due to phase relationships of the reflected signal - and that is frequency dependent....

Yes - that means there is a very serious fault - short circuit of the cable or open cable (fully reflected signal).
