Hi Don,
Sorry, got you confused with the original post on the install kit. I sent an email
to your gmail account regarding your GNS480.

Yeah. Heating from the bottom would probably be better. The bottom of the box
is open. Maybe I can put a steel plate on the bottom of the box and attach the
pad with a magnetic strip. Any thoughts on the size to use- 25 or 50 watt.
Thanks, Steve

| Subject: | Re: Battery heater |
i played with this exact thing a month ago. i used a 25 watt stick on and
encased it in a sheet metal envelope about 4'' x 6 ''. on a piece of
plywood i put it under an odessey 625. it raised the temp about 8 deg/hour.
with good contact to the battery the thing would have a temp about 130 deg.
in free air the envelope would get near 200 deg. if i used it my plane i
would set it on something that didn't conduct heat as well as metal and
never run it for more than 6 hrs or when it wasn't cold enough to effect
the batteryi wouldn't go over 25 watts. then i decided that when it was
cold enough to slow down the battery it was too cold to go flying.i am
talking 10-15 deg.

i just posted about this and then read joe's post. when i tested this thing
out i checked temps every hour with an infrared temp probe. the heater is
so small at 25 watts and the metal envelope spread the heat out that i
never found temps on the bottom of the battery get anywhere too warm.BUT
...this was with oat's and a battery at around 10 above. it could be
different if you run this thing accidentally when oat is 70 deg. the heater
pad is for sure hot enough in free air to damage it.

All of this discussion presupposes that the OP knows how to get a signal line out
of an EFIS or an AOA device, or a stall horn switch and send it to
a memory/DAC system (i.e., a voice generator) to trigger an annunciation event.
It is not hard, but not trivial and depends on the specifics of the
target hardware

Lots of room to have fun but I had to use my own voice.
We males may be programmed to pay more attention to female voices but
the ones around me were too smart to let their voices become "bitch'in
betty" ;)
Of course a large part of audio warning success is to avoid nuisance
warnings that train our brains to ignore them.

In the late 1970's when we were living in Silicon Valley my dad had a start
up high tech electronics firm. Since he was in the business he had lots of
friends from all over the world who were all in Silicon Valley dreaming up
all kinds of futuristic ideas.
One such friend came over one night and he had a very small PC board with
an integrated chip and a small microphone. This device would capture about
5 to 10 seconds of audio and record it in solid state on the chip... wow...
no spinning records or magnetic tape.
We all sat around the kitchen table and played with it and laughed and try
to dream up ways that this device could be used. We had such ideas as a
teddy bear, greeting card, Christmas ornament but that was about the extent
of our creativity.
Fast forward 20 to 40 years and it is shocking that so many devices still
use a goofy synthetic voice to say things like "autopilot" or "too low
flaps" instead of a device with a recorded sexy female real person voice.

I also just remembered that in the late 1990s I was interviewing for a
corporate Jet Pilot position with a Silicon Valley firm that was purchasing
their first jet.
During the interview I asked what their product line was and the principle
explain to me that they had just invented a computer chip that could record
1000 songs on it. I remember him looking across the conference table and
pointed to his thumbnail and said that this ship was only the size of a
person's thumb nail and that it could record 1000 songs. I was amazed
because a compact disc at the time would only record 40 songs.
He said that he could not elaborate more about the product nor could he
tell me what other companies he was going to be a vendor for with this
revolutionary new product.

No voice actor royalties. :-)
On a more serious note. There was an article some months ago about a DIY
stick shaker. I wonder if that might be a more effective alert tool for
stall warning than any visual or audio alert. I'd never considered making
one, but the execution would be relatively simple, as long as you have a
signal source.

Yes, it looks strange. It probably prevents the ammeter from slamming backwards

Wouldn't the diodes within the alternator serve the same purpose? You can't
"back feed" the alternator (and thus the ammeter) as its internal diodes would
prevent current in that direction. That "strange" diode would appear to serve no
purpose.

They=99re resistors of at least two, perhaps three different

The only place I recall (off the top of my head) installing resistors in
the Dynon setup is at the point each Tacho signal wire taps into the
P-leads (in my case at the magneto switch terminals). Small resistors
are a dime a dozen, but only one each P-lead is required for that
particular task.

| Subject: | Single EPL101x Series Dimmer For Dynon Skyview Brightness |
and RockRack Switch LEDs
Hi All (again),
I am trying to integrate a single rheostat for use with both the
RockRack switch LEDs and the Dynon Skyview. In other words I want to
have the single rheostat dim both the RockRack indicator LEDs and the
Dynon brightness with a turn of a single knob.
The Rheostat I bought is a bit confusing. I thought it would only have
only two wires (one in-ey and one out-ey) and I would simply connect the
in-ey wire to a fused 12 VDC source and then connect the out-ey to both
the Dynon and the RockRack LED input spade.
This rheostat however has THREE wires.
The instructions have a =9CSimplified Hookup=9D but it
states that this hookup is for =9CIncandescent Lamps
Only=9D. Is there a reason why I could not use that hookup for
the RockRack LEDs?
(Attached is a PDF of the instructions for the Rheostat)
OTHER INFORMATION:
The RockRack have an LED that illuminates when the switch is placed in
the ON position. The voltage source for this LED can either be the
output voltage of the switch itself (example: Turn the landing light ON
and the power that goes out to the landing light is also tapped off to
provide the power for the LED in the switch) or a rheostat with a
controlled voltage can be used as the source of power for the LEDs to
make them dimmable.
I have the Dynon part figured outit has a =9Cpin
25=9D that is a pin that looks for a source signal voltage and
when it sees a certain voltage, the screens will dim to a user
programmable brightness (example: If pin 25 sees 14 VDC then the
screens will go to 100 percent brightness and if they see 7 VDC then
they will dim to 50 percent).
I do not have the schematic for the RockRack switches so I will have to
multimeter the spade connectors to see how to wire them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
..
Cheers!!!
