For my -6A I used a single Skyview and had less Dynon add-ons. The Dynon network cables make hook-up easy, but splitting power and putting splices in the servo cables bugged me. ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
So, for my -10 build I came up with a simple alternative idea to Dynon's network hub. I designed a 5 port hub, but added two custom connectors dedicated to servo hook-ups only, all on a single 2.5" x 3.8" ExpressPCB mini card. It's a much cleaner solution to the servo power wiring issue. I can now connect all of my planned network items easily behind the panel and only use one box as a daisy chain.
The power supply wires, and the AP disconnect line, are now brought out with a single 4 pin Molex MiniFit Jr. connector.
A simple schematic -
It's untested at the moment, but easy to check traces. If anyone wants to duplicate I can send them the ExpressPCB ".rrb" file. If you want a better schematic, I can email an easier to read PDF version.
Please, no PMs, just use my regular email.
PS... a more complicated hook-up card to connect the parallel connections of two Dynon Skyviews simply and cable to their associated items is in work.
