SkyView 2.6, Transponders, and ARINC-429 Shipping
I just sent the following announcement to our newsletter subscribers, and thought it might be of interest here as well.
-Robert
Dynon Marketing
--------------------
Now Shipping!
New SkyView 2.6 Firmware: SkyView firmware 2.6 adds the ability to alert and display air traffic graphically. Traffic alerts will show up on SkyView?s moving map and synthetic vision displays using standard TCAS 1 symbols, identifying the location, severity of threat, distance, vertical separation and heading of any aircraft within the traffic system range. Pilots will have immediate situational awareness of traffic that they can easily track.
Within the United States, SkyView displays TIS traffic when connected to Dynon?s SV-XNPNR-261 or SV-XPNDR-262 Mode-S transponders, or a Garmin GTX 330 Mode-S transponder. TIS is a ground-based system available in all Class B and some Class C airspace where most traffic conflicts arise. It uses the same radar that is used by controllers.
SkyView also receives traffic information from a Zaon XRX passive traffic receiver, a NavWorx ADS-B receiver, a Trig ADS-B receiver, or any device that outputs the industry standard GTX 330 TIS traffic format. This capability allows SkyView?s new traffic feature to be used anywhere in the world, utilizing different traffic receiver technologies.
Enhanced Redundancy - Wiring Change Required: To enhance multi-display redundancy in version 2.6 firmware, external serial devices must now have their serial port inputs and outputs connected to all displays in a multi-display SkyView system. This wiring change must be made at the same time SkyView is upgraded to 2.6. See the Dynon Blog for a full description of which systems are effected and detailed wiring instructions.
New Mode S SV-XPNDR-262 and SV-XPNDR-261 Transponders: These new transponders are integrated into SkyView, with control and annunciation appearing on the SkyView Display. The transponder module is small and light, so it can be mounted anywhere in the airplane that is convenient. There are two models: the SV-XPNDR-261 for high performance aircraft, and the SV-XPNDR-262 for aircraft flying less than 15,000' and 175 Knots. The only difference between the two is the output power. Both add TIS traffic information. (Note, TIS traffic is only available in the U.S. in many Class B and C airspaces with radar coverage. SkyView can also receive traffic information from the Zaon XRX, NavWorx, and GTX 330 products.) Also, both products are certified and will meet the FAA ADS-B 2020 mandate. (Full ADS-B Out compliance will require that a TSO-C146A GPS be connected.)
New SV-ARINC-429 Module: The SkyView SV-ARINC-429 Module delivers on the promise to make SkyView compatible with certified GPS receivers, integrating with radios such as the Garmin 430/530. This includes advanced features such as GPS steering, CDI auto-scaling and vertical guidance information from WAAS-enabled GPS receivers. This Module also enables the full suite of G430/530 VOR and localizer functionality. With the addition of this module, SkyView eliminates the need to install a conventional CDI/GS head for the Garmin 430/530.

So if I have two Skyview displays, and one 430, do I have to have an AIRINC box for each display now?

No, you only need one ARINC module per airplane.

No, the ARINC-429 adapter communicates through the SkyView Network, which is inherently redundant and will communication with both displays.
However for serial connected devices (like a transponder), typically a Receive line can only receive from one Transmit line (or else it would get confused). So a serial device could not receive data from two Displays. But we added some intelligence so that only one display is controlling such a device at a time, and if it goes offline the other display will take over.

Arinc-429
Hello Robert ( Dynon Support )
I just receive my new to me Skyview today and I must say that I like what I'm seeing so far...( Imagine how it's gonna be when I turn the unit ''ON''..)
Regarding the Arinc-429 Box, could you tell me if I can hook it up to an Avmap EKP 4 Portable WASS GPS and then get the extra capabilities of my Skyview?
Also, I already have a good transponder (GTX-327 ) and I like to know if I will gain anything my installing the Dynon Transponder?
I would like the ADS-B capability but leaving in Canada, I don't think we will see an ADS-B system for a long time in the future.
I won't be able to test fly it for a few months due to the aircraft being in storage for the winter but can I connect my Display directly to an aircraft battery without risking blowing it( I like to learn how to play with it and do the updates if I can during the quiet months)?
Sorry about all these questions but I'm like a kid with a new toy and I'll like to know all I can do with this new device.
Thank you for your time

Bruno,
The ARINC box is only for panel mounted GPS units. Your Avmap will do everything it can do over the simple one wire serial connection.
In Canada the main thing the transponder will get you is Mode-S, which isn't a huge deal for now. Using our transponder will save you a lot of panel space though. In the USA, the transponder gets traffic, and in Europe Mode-S is about to be legally required.
You can hook the screen to an aircraft battery with no problems and it should boot right up for you to try out.

I'm probably asking a really dumb question here, but can you have a NavWorx ADS-B box and a Zaon XRX talking to the SkyView system at the same time to cover both radar and ADS-B traffic?

Not a dumb question, but the answer is no, you cannot hook up two traffic receiver devices.

Actually, the new SkyView v2.6 software will see your GTX327, and display the transponder code/function/reply on the SkyView screen.
You would gain ADSB-out and TIS traffic (in some areas) with the Dynon transponder see here: http://blog.dynonavionics.com/2010/0...b-and-tis.html Not to mention some panel space. The GTX327 costs about the same as the Dynon unit.

I likely won't be flying much if at all near or above 15000 ft, but RV's are capable. Should I surrender the option, or go with the high performance transponder just in case? It'd be nice to know I could get up there if I wanted to. Did Dynon have particular aircraft in mind when designing the -261?
Thanks!
