[I'm posting this jointly with friend and fellow RV-driver, Joe Dubner]
Announcing SkyView Assist (™), an Android application for use with the Dynon SkyView. SkyView Assist displays Dynon SkyView engine gauges on your tablet or phone. This allows you to display a larger Map page and/or display engine instruments for a co-pilot or passenger. This is especially useful for those of us who have no panel space for an additional SkyView (e.g. RV-8, RV-4).
It's free; just download and install it from the Google Play store. Or it can be downloaded from the above URL.
But there is one tiny catch: SkyView Assist requires a serial port connection to the Dynon SkyView. It's not hard to add a serial-to-Bluetooth adapter to a SkyView spare output port and pair it with your tablet. These adapters are available inexpensively from Amazon, eBay and other sites.
Future releases may add other functionality such as customization of the engine indicators and the layout. And eventually there may be a PFD page so an aft cockpit passenger can see the altitude, airspeed, etc.
Contact Peter with questions or issues about the app at skyviewassist@gmail.com. Or Joe will help you with Bluetooth installation issues by emailing at the same address.
I just uploaded a new version of SkyView Assist.
This new version 1.2.16 has new functionality in the ‘Setting’ Menu. You can now change the ranges, colors and titles on the engine gauges. You can also 'Export' and 'Import' Engine parameters. Check it out
