I'm on the home stretch towards final inspection - scheduled for Thursday. I've got a handful of squawks left, anyone have any tips/experiences with these?
For context, I've got a Dynon SkyView HDX with the EMS module, an IO-320 engine and the 4 cylinder Kavlico probe package.
My oil pressure sensor works when the engine isn't running - I had cross wired the oil and fuel pressure transducers so I swapped the plugs before my first engine start (caught that on the engine pre-oil). I swapped them back and changed the EMS pin assignments before my second start today. In both cases my oil pressure goes offline immediately on start and comes back online immediately on shutdown. The fact that I've tried this on 2 different wiring paths (and don't have the same issue with the fuel pressure sensor) tells me that it isn't a loose electrical connection.
My #4 CHT temperature sensor is doing something similar - I get room temperature readings with engine off, the temperature reading goes down when I start the engine and then the sensor goes offline. I checked the connector and it appears solid and stable.
My engine is running quite smoothly once it settles in and I bring the mixture back - no crazy vibrations going on.
I'm also not getting anything on my amps shunt (offline on the display) - but I suspect that this is because I'm not getting anything coming from the alternator when I enable the field. My battery voltage isn't going up, so I'm sure that means no charging. I've got a VP-X in there, I have a few things I can check on this next time if I hook up my laptop.
These issues and the fuel level sender that I've posted elsewhere about make up most of the outstanding items I have before inspection. As always, the collective wisdom of this community would be most gratefully appreciated.
