I could use suggestions on how to learn the using the Knobs Panel. Is there a video or booklet just on the Knobs Panel?
Give me a call sometime and we can talk through what is happening.

Default Expert Mode A/P

Can all of the functions of Expert Mode be (comfortably) controlled on the SV touch screen? Or, is it significantly easier with the Knob/AP panels?

They can be done on the screen, but significantly easier with he A/P Panel.

I'm interested in installing just the knob unit in my panel. I don't need or have room for the AP unit as well. Has anyone done this? Does the knob unit simply connect directly to the back of Skyview screen via the D9 connectors (probably wishful thinking) or do I need to splice into the existing wiring somewhere. I've read Section 58, and am guessing that the wiring mods are required for the A/P unit rather than the knobs?

Yes. You can unplug one of the 2 9-pin plugs from the back of the screen and plug it into the knob panel. Then you will need a cable to run from the other port on the knob panel to the now-open port on the back of the screen. Then you run a network config and voila.

Of course, if one of the ports on the screen is already open, you can just add the new network cable. Or, if you have an open port on a 5-port hub that will work too.

That's my kind of wiring! Thanks Jesse.

Some new training videos on the Dynon website, including all of the different autopilot modes. https://www.youtube.com/user/DynonAvionics

Default Spent Saturday installing AP/Knobs panels

Been saving up to treat myself and finally added the two Skyview panels this weekend. Dave Gamble's writeup was a big help along with the comments in this thread. Wiring was not complicated but it was surprisingly hard to feed all the wires through the crowded openings on the avionics shelf. No sig. issues otherwise but it still took me an entire day to complete the full install and tidy up after. Didn't even have time to flight test! Can't wait to do so though. Took some pictures.
