Re: Oil temp and pressure readings different on MX1 and EMS

Is the sensor configured the same on both EFIS?
Both set for the same units (C or F)?

Re: Fuel flow sensor fault

I have struck a similar problem in the past, where a whitish waxy substance blocked up a fine mesh inline fuel filter. You could blow throught the filter OK while it was dry, but the moment it was wetted with fuel it blocked. It was apparently Durene- leaching from the inside of 2 new 20l fuel conta...

Re: Programmable probe option not working???

I found another way to skin the cat.... The current input was not being used, so I configured it to behave as a GP 0-5V input. Zeroing current at sensor minimum and tweaking the current gain to give the desired full scale value at sensor maximum, you can use it as a GP analog input and link a displa...

Re: Programmable probe option not working???

That stuffs up my plans!
I had asumed it could also be configured as a general purpose 0-5V analog input using the programmable probe option to calibrate it.
Would be a nice option (hint!)

Programmable probe option not working???

Hi Rainier- I think there is a problem using the programmable probe option- in the SIM at least (not tested yet in actual hardware) iEFIS G3 SIM V 1121 (fresh download) COOLANT channel set to programmable probe programmable probe set up in equal ascending steps 20C..160C between 1000..4000 ADC using...

Re: Empty black box on screen...won't go away.

That's a video input window.
The left or right curson buttons will scroll through video sources to none.

You can enable/disable scanning state at power up in the first level menu.

Re: Enigma Altitude

Airspeed increasing as vacuum applied to the static makes sense- you are creating a positive differential pitot over static.
That also indicates the static sensor is working to some degree, as it is responding to pressure changes.
Try calibrating your altimteter channel.
