Re: BLAZE EMS-2 & RDAC FL1 vs AUX2

Best to use FL1- that is its intended use.
Routing, signal conditioning, tank linearisation and display are all available to you by default using that input.

Re: Fuel level sender for MGL Extreme EMS and RADAC-MAP

So my understanding is that the MGL Extreme EMS will accept a signal from the fuel level sender either as ohms or as voltage depending on the RADAC switch setting. I'm debating using one of the cheaper float types versus the capacitance type MGL has on their website (which costs 10 times more) if I...

Re: Dual Ignition RPM Reading

The engine RPM text item supports the higher of the 2 (RPM<>RPM2), but not the analog arc. I work around this by overlaying a secondRPM analog arc, but select a different pointer style and display pointer only. That gives you a 'split needle' display with the active (higher) needle correctly showing...

Re: EFIS Challenger Lite - Audio signal

I had some clicking sounds when I installed my V16 to my MX1, and Michigan Avionics had me install some resistors like this: The 10k resistor will go on the signal wire between the radio and the MX1. AFTER this resistor, on the radio side, one end of the 1k resistor goes on the signal wire and the ...

Re: Edit contents of a DFile.bin file

In Project menu, Copy current default screens....., then edit as you wish.
A much easier learning curve modifying from the existing screens than starting from scratch with a blank screen.

A conditional skip item but hard coded at 1.5G. Unfortunately no provision for editing the limit.

Re: MX1 / RDAC XG Rotax 912 Uls rpm issues

I have an MX1 running firmware from April 2022, with an RDAC XG connected to a Rotax 912 uls engine. I have the original Rotax RPM gauge as well as the MX1. My issue is that at low RPM lets say 2,000 they both match but as you increase the RPM to say 4500 the MX1 then reads around 4700 and the diff...

Re: MGL Autopilot servo range of motion Setup question

Yes the active rotation is limited to 180 degrees (preferably a little less to cater for tolerances). ... The 180 degree limitation really only is relevant for the direction of servo travel in case of the drum. The servo will always try and go the shortest distance to a new position - normally that...

Re: How to display Analog 1 as a percentage

Make a bragraph or analog arc appropriately scaled to display from 0-100% but no legends.
Then add the percentage markers as individual text items.

Re: Fuel pressure sensor

You need to switch the pull-up resistor OFF.
It is forcing full scale (5V) with an open input, and pulling the sensor reading higher than actual.
