I?m so excited for this display.

The combination of AOA and slip right up in my face is so exciting.

Can?t wait. Assembling my bits for the onspeed hardware as we speak.

Oh, and one more thing....



This shows the backseat display wirelessly linked to the OnSpeed display, showing more air data and a legacy AOA display. Just give it 12V or mount the M5Stack battery backplate and there it is. This whole program began when the GIB took the stick and complained he couldn't see the instruments. There is nothing a little technology can't solve!

Wait, what? I have a wire coming out of the harness I prepared for my OnSpeed waiting to connect to your display but you’re connecting wireless? And you’re getting all of that info displayed (airspeed, altitude, AOA, yaw, VSI) directly from OnSpeed wireless? Via Bluetooth or wifi?

Can I connect 2 displays so I have one in front as backup to my Dynon and another display in the back so the rear seater can fly without having to stretch to look over my shoulder?

Not so simple.

This uses the OnSpeed display, but it's not yet using the OnSpeed brain box. Instead, it is directly connected to the Dynon EFIS serial stream (front) with a power/data cable. This is the same cable that will connect to the OnSpeed box.

The front seat display sends all of the incoming serial stream EFIS info to the back seat display using WIFI.

I have requested an update to the OnSpeed box to relay all of the EFIS serial data (plus the recomputed AOA/energy info) to the primary display so it can be transmitted to the back seat. I am in the process of installing my OnSpeed box now, so I will keep folks posted. This is a bit of sausage making, but it's all coming together now.

Ok so it wouldn?t be a backup for now if I lose the Dynon EFIS but during normal operations at least the GIB will have all the needed info. Lenny has a computer brain so I?m sure in the future it?ll be in an update.

I am hoping that the OnSpeed box will mature to the point of being a backup ADAHRS for my aircraft so that I can display all air data from it, thus making my displays truly independent of the EFIS, at least for air data. Mission creep for right now, though.

Even better news! I haven?t built it yet and am still ordering the bits so I?ll hold of. I have a robust AOA calculation solution with my D180, just want a better way of displaying it up front.

Can?t wait for the screen and software to come out. Thanks for your hard work.

A question to anyone that has completed building the onspeed aoa..
Approximately how long did it take to build ?
And where will you mount it in your RV?
Thanks.

Pilot135pd 06-10-2020 03:27 PM

Once you have everything you can build it in a day. I installed it in the avionics bay attached to the removable front access panel in the baggage compartment, it'll depend on which plane you have.

I have a D180 also but it doesn’t compare with the OnSpeed, that’s why I installed mine.

The D180 gives you the most conservative AOA solution no matter what flap position you have set while the OnSpeed will give you the best AOA solution for each flap setting you program into it.

Also OnSpeed gives you the 3D audio for yaw, I’m sure you’ve seen the video.

Finally the D180 won’t grow anymore but the OnSpeed being a stand alone box can continue to grow just by software updates. Of course software updates means hours and hours of brain numbing coding by great minds but you won’t get anything new from the D180.
