Advanced Deck, Foreflight and Wifi

I purchased the Dynon wifi adapter as part of my avionics package, but had not getting around to plugging it in (that is pretty much all that is required from a physical standpoint).  So needing a motivation, I plugged it in.  The setup is easy... give it an SSID and password, and thats it.

I joined the network from my phone and opened Foreflight.

Well thats cool.

So I did up a basic flightplan on my ipad, connected it to the aircraft wifi, and the option shows up under 'Send to', 'Panel'.

The panel then wants you to confirm that you actually want to load it.

Piece of cake.

When airliners fly over, I get their ADSB feed in the shop.  Now I get it on both my ipad, and Advanced displays.

The only thing that is not working is my aircraft GPS.  There is a foil lining under our tile roof, so there is no GPS connectivity in the shop, so the altitude on foreflight is showing -32000 ft.

Instrument Panel Redo (Carbon Shroud Only)

 It's a long and sad tale, but I had to replace my carbon panel with a new one.  Which meant cutting and fasteners all over again.  Carbon fiber is itchy... do not recommend cutting it and then going to bed.

The good news is everything is faster 2nd time around.  In 2 evenings I had everything cut and most of the fasteners installed.  I have to make new brackets for the nutplates on the switch plates, because of the switch plate dimensions, standard nutplates will show the rivets in the carbon.  Hopefully this too goes faster 2nd time around.

I am finally (almost) back to where I was in April (its now August).  Still missing a few fasteners that will need to be riveted in later.

I have been wiring like a madman for the past 2 days.  The aircraft front and aircraft rear ACM connectors are done.  The trim and flap connector is done on the ACM end, plus the aileron trim wing bulkhead connector.  There is still a ton of wiring to do.  Like days and days more.  Plus the engine wiring integration (which should be relatively easy... famous last words).

Everything is working as before, except I have added some wiring.

• Autopilot servos:  Not working.  The ACM says they are drawing power, but the Skyview network cant see them.  Troubleshooting with Advanced. Fixed and working.  Factory harness was wired incorrectly, and I missed it.
• Recognition light.  Working.
• Wing wiring to bulkhead connectors.  Working
• Glareshield fans.  
• Overhead cabin light
• Compass light
• Aileron trim.  Not tested
• Elevator trim.  Not tested
• Flap position sensor.  Not tested (potentiometer not yet installed)

The last piece to mount is the magnetometer.  I dont know why, but I have been dreading this.  Used some foam / glass test pieces I had and just chopped them up.  Simple and light.  The below picture is bonded to the fuselage.  The aluminum bracket is just for placement and will be removed.
