copy your *.map files into the MAPS folder of your current project. Then use the GPS simulator to enter a valid position (withing the maps region) and set the position as "valid" (checkbox). On any screen that has a map - tap in the map area and then from the menu buttons select "raster" as map sour...

Your SP-7 should be getting velocity information from the EFIS. It uses GPS ground speed or true airspeed (the latter is preferred as ground speed is "contaminated" by wind) - if none of that is available the SP-7 will assume a velocity. The SP-7 uses the velocity to work out centrifugal forces acti...

This is the contents of the internal flash memory if nothing has ever recorded. Please note that your flight data recording is only active if the EFIS has detected a valid start of flight or you start a flight manually and end it manually in the action menu if you never configured the EFIS for autom...

We tend to show the sender measurement before reaching 50 degrees.
These senders are only really somewhat accurate around their designed operating temperatures and outside that range they become somewhat random as far as readings go. But they are generally OK from about 20 degrees C ambient upwards.

Unfortunately many cheap LED lights radiate a lot of wideband noise. They use high frequency switch mode supplies to supply a constant current to the LEDs or step up the voltage to supply LED strings. Filtering is often poor or even non-existent. Usually the radiation is via the supply wires. If the...

Effectively this has been moved to the individual item - for example if you want alarms for oil pressure you go to the oil pressure setup menu and you will then find a setting what to do in case of alarm including audio. There is no need to select the phrases as we did with the old systems. The idea...

Retina display is a simply a branded display by Apple - it's nothing special at all. Most of them are IPS (In-plane switching). AMOLED tends to be used for very small displays such as on watches and is related to OLED displays which tend to be used for large displays now. However these are not yet i...

No not yet - we first need to complete FCC certification and obtain the FAA approval letter - before that it is not possible to sell them.

The issue is not your EFIS - the issue is your RF installation is not up to scratch. If you have a properly tuned antenna (correct ground plane is super critical here) and the required distance (FCC requires 2 meters from any person) to the EFIS panel then there will be no nolse. The problem is that...

The nipples are slightly rough. we tend to use soft neoprene tubing which seals very well -= PVC in particular thick walled tubing can be very hard and then it may not seal that well. A very small amount of silicon sealant (RTV is good) smeared around the nipple (don't block the hole) works well.
