Re: MGL Autopilot servos significant resistance when not powered

It sounds like someone may have really messed up in the implementation of the servos. The only thing you should feel when moving them is just the slightest of "clicks" as the stepper motor rotates from hand movement.

Re: xtreme not logging to .rec any more

.REC logging on the XTreme was deprecated and replaced with CSV logging for better compatibility with third-party tools, as well as user-readability.

Re: earthX warning input

This is not directly supported on the XTremes. You could actually do it rather easily by using an AUX input with the PU switch turned on for that input, then set it up as a user-defined calibration. It would show up as a "gauge" but you could still set up the alert to know if there's an issue.

Re: Fuel Flow Error

Fuel Flow is captured via a turbine-wheel sensor or by capturing the trigger signals on electronic fuel injection systems. In your case, you most likely have a turbine wheel sensor. That said, I have a few questions. 1.) Does it read 20 GPH all the time no matter what? 2.) What are your current conf...

Re: Baud Rate iEFIS / Extender

Baud Rate is automatically set based on the desired function. For example, the Sandia requires 2400 baud whereas a GDL-90 ADS-B source needs 115200 baud. Note that some products such as the non-Lite iEFIS units have ports on the iBox (2-6) that are not able to use high-speed settings such as the MGL...

Re: Touch Screen Not Working Right

Do you know the age of your screen? Older Explorers that use Resistive touch screens have a calibration feature. Newer screens utilize a capacitive digitizer and do not have a calibration. Be sure your software is up to date too.

Re: Plans for an iBox V2 & related?

To start, I'm a huge fan of MGL. From a technical perspective, I like the design. While I was drawing up my installation documents, I was thinking about a few alterations that would appeal to me and drew them up. Just sharing to see what others think. Here are the key points I wanted to accomplish:...
