May 01, 2021     Switch wiring - (1.2 hours) Category: Instrument Panel
Labeled and prepared a 10' length of two conductor shielded 20 ga with spade connectors for primary ignition grounds. Labeled and prepared a 10' length of shielded three conductor 16 ga for ELT power and GPS input. Added a short length of unshielded 16 ga for testing NMEA stream at ELT.
 
Apr 21, 2021     Wire cleanup, RS232 connector - (0.5 hour) Category: Instrument Panel
Reorganize wiring to free RS232 connector to serial inputs. Will be opening the connector to solder a data out wire from a serial port to supply the ELT with a GPS NEMA position stream. The MGLiBox GPS NEMA baud rate is 4800 while the ELT standard rate is 9600 baud. Looking for a jumper to use in the ELT to change the baud rate to match the iBox.
 
Apr 20, 2021     Wiring List - (3.3 hours) Category: Instrument Panel
Working through the instrument panel wiring to do list 1) Power from ECB4 to SPST LSw3 for ignition coil power 2) Power from ECB7 to SPST RSw4 for transponder and SP-12 GPS power. 3) Power from ECB6 to LSw1 for starter solenoid power 4) Added 12 gauge wire to sub-panel inboard ground terminal, wire run to ground point on firewall.
Continued cleanup and bundling of wiring behind the panel.
Found that Aircraft Spruce has an LED light that will fit a switch mounting hole, 12VDC input, internal current limiting resistor, with a couple of screw terminals (https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/indicatorlamps13-15811-5.php). Mounted a red to indicate (Part# 13-15812) of power to the turbocharger bearing cooling system. The system gets power from an always active firewall fusebox. The circuit has a manual and automatic mode, with the auto mode switched by a 250degF thermal switch in the coolant line. The light serves as a warning that the cooling circuit is powered after shutdown.

Jun 27, 2020     Additional iEFIS programming - (2 hours)       Category: Instrument Panel
The active checklist idea intrigues me. Did additional work to iEFIS screen 5 (Checklists) to integrate common location of com radio and transponder controls. Exploration of substituting custom graphics for ACSIDE.mif, ACREAR.mif, ACLSYMBL.mid and ACSSYMBL.mif.
Tried customizing the look at me graphics according to MGL's instructions, but I spent too much time going nowhere. Probably should reduce the gauges on the takeoff checklist, as TO is an eyes outside portion of flight.


 
Apr 29, 2020     MGL EFIS Screen Modifications - (3 hours)       Category: Instrument Panel
Added several 'dynamic' check lists by employing MGL Explorer graphics and instruments. The checklists are dynamic in that values to be referenced during execution of the checklist are displayed with some providing for changing values. For example, oil pressure is displayed next to a "check oil pressure" item.

Moving through a sequence of checklists uses a "Next" graphic screen touch button. Checklist display shows the state of electronic circuit breakers, bus voltage, oil pressure, heading, altitude, and changing radio frequency, transponder code, and barometric pressure.


 
Apr 17, 2020     Update EFIS Screens - (1.3 hours)       Category: Instrument Panel
Updated screens, simplified by removing extraneous buttons and functions.

Having a problem programming a screen that indicates current flow through individual breakers. When the current display references circuits 1,2,3, etc, the displayed current is from the circuit one less than programmed. For example, circuit 3 supplies the communications radio. When the screen display is programmed to match the circuit, the com radio is displayed on breaker 2. When a circuit number one less is used, the com radio is correct but there is no flow indicated through circuit 0.
