A little background :
Installed the skyview update harnesses and equipment and on initial tests...the GPS would not lock on a signal nor would the GPS or EMS be detected under "skyview network". The ADAHRS was not connected at the time.
Found a screen on skyview config menus with the error of
"Internal Voltage Fail -- 8V"
called dynon about the message and they said to send back the unit. dynon tested the unit and said it was fine, but to go ahead and send back the GPS antenna and EMS box....did that, and they tested ok.
The unit is on it's way back to us and i remembered a problem others had with the D180 and G496. The white GPS wire that ran to the ELT but was not used. if the shielding was not peeled back, (had not peeled the shielding back yet) it could cause a problem. I emailed VANS and they said it could cause "confusion" within the system but they were not sure about a voltage problem.
anyone have any thoughts? i hope that was the cause. everything else is operating A-OK. fans work, trim works, radio works, lights work, intercom, etc...
