AP and knob module
I ordered the AP and knob module from Aircraft Spruce today.
I have a perfect spot for them in the RV10 panel that I am building.
As I understand it the size and cutout is the same as the Com module.
Thank you Dynon for the new hardware and software.

A quick question: Is the touchscreen Capacitive, or Resistive?
Edit: missed it on first read, but found it on the website:

With SkyView Touch™, Dynon created an interface designed to complement - not replace - the physical controls on SkyView. SkyView Touch™ adds the convenience of touch when you want it but keeps a full set of buttons and joystick knobs for precise control in turbulence. Capacitive multi-touch technology allows natural actions such as two finger pinch-to-zoom on the map. Unlike most touch-based avionics and tablets, SkyView Touch preserves SkyView’s sunlight-readable and glare-rejecting screen.

Awesome! I look forward to playing with one at Arlington this year...

The screen is a multi-touch projected capacitive touchscreen, just like an iPad or any modern phone. It is optically bonded to our 1,350 nit screen. Optical bonding prevents fogging when you change altitude and also significantly reduces glare and other optical effects. Finally, the system has a anti-glare optical layer on the top.
In the end, we believe the screen is optically as good as our non-touch screens. Come see for yourself at SnF! (or OSH, or Arlington, or at our offices if you want to swing by)

What's missing from Dynon
only a 8.33 vhf...
If only Dynon would introduce a 8.33 spacing VHF for us in Europe my whole panel would be perfectly integrated with only Dynon stuff. For now I have to get another VHF, but all the rest will be Dynon.
I'm still hoping for that VHF as I'm still buliding...

Trim
Question
On the trim controller, can I control trim using the hat switch on my stick?

Pitot question.

What about the heated pitot? Are the concerns I've read unfounded? |

Larry,
The only way to use the trim controller is by wiring up external buttons like the ones on your hat switch.
The NOSE UP/DOWN buttons are autopilot commands, that have nothing to do with trim. You use these when you are in VS or IAS mode. If you are climbing towards an altitude and want to climb faster, you press NOSE UP and it increases the VS target by 100 FPM.

Dynon folks,
I'd like to express my sincere gratitude for not only continuing to innovate but doing so in such a way that existing owners/users are not orphaned. It means a lot (A LOT) to have a relatively inexpensive, and more importantly, drop-in upgrade path for my existing display to the newer touch screen display.
Just awesome. THANK YOU!
