After a successful calibration and test yesterday, when I started the Skyview this morning I had 2 alarms in red on top of screen:
Pitch error
Roll error
and "AP error" on bottom of screen
I tried to redo the hardware calibration but the line is now displayed in grey with the text: "Servo Calibration (servos not active)"
Did not find any help in the user guide or Installation guide and have no idea on what to do next.

Sounds like you may have forgotten to turn on the autopilot circuit again. Or maybe check the fuse.

Servos
Go back to hardware detection and have the skyview detect the servos. If they are not detected then you get the not active message in the calibration menue.

Servo Software?
[[[[[Don, you can always connect a D10A/D100/D180 to the servos and upgrade the servo software to the latest one for this range of devices. Then connect your skyview back.]]]]
The servo receives + and - voltage for direction movement and talks to SkyView giving position information. Surely SkyView is setup to handle this without "upgrading servo software with a D180".
Am I missing something here?

Yeah, I have a lot of junk, but looked and cannot find a spare D180 hanging around.

WingedFrog - Your issue does sound power-related from what you've said here so far, but please give our tech support an email or phone call at 425-402-0433 or support at dynonavionics dot com.
DonfromTX - The autopilot servos and SkyView (or the D10/D100 series products) do talk to each other with a data connection, though they do so slightly differently (among the differences, SkyView has a fully-redundant data bus so that even if you completely lose one - say to a frayed or broken wire - you lose no system functionality). Servos that are newer than SkyView's existance have software that can talk to either system, but, ones that are older than SkyView's existance need to be brought up to date outside of SkyView before SkyView can see them. I'm not sure if that's what you're seeing here, but it's a possibility. Give our technical support staff a call 425-402-0433 or support at dynonavionics dot com to get some more personalized assistance here.
