Jpi 830

[Joe Larussa]

Anyone know why the digital value for EGT might be missing? Should be above the CHT. Just installed yesterday.

Joe,

They are probably cycling through continuously where your pic is currently showing oilP...

Check your manual for the device... there is probably a setting that needs to be clicked for that...

It may be an affect of the choice of horizontal vs. vertical display... as the CHTs are alternating between the two available lines...

Stand by for somebody with better knowledge...

That’s a head scratcher.  We upgraded to an 830 from a 700 and the EGT played right away.  Harness connection?  Not likely as the Cylinders are showing...

Hi Joe,

In portrait orientation you have two options for the display. One gives you up to ten fields to display in the right side column but the trade-off is a narrower EGT/CHT display with only the digits for CHT displayed. The other gives you only five fields in the right column but a wider EGT/CHT display with both digits shown. Section 14 of the manual provides some guidance on how to set it up but it is not the most helpful manual I have used. 
Standing by for @carusoam to correct my crappy photo editing.....

Good luck,

Mark

Great details from the manual, Mark!

They seem to be wasting a lot of space above 450° F... and below 250°F...

Graphics are nice, but I’m still using raw numbers at the same time for some things... 

Best regards,

Thanks Anthony,

So would it be revealing trade secrets if you told us how you do that? Do you have to use a laptop, or is there a way to fix picture orientation on the iPad?

Cheers,

Mark

All ipad...

I detailed this in the past... but it changed...

Save the pic...

Edit the pic.

choose rotate.

rotate the pic.

save the pic when it looks correct...

 

But now...

Sometimes it looks correct in the picture app... but it isn’t.

It won’t allow you to edit and save without changing it... bummer...

So change it...

edit.

rotate it.

save it again.

restart the process...

edit.

rotate it to look right this time.

Save it cause you can...

Then import to MS...

 

This is guaranteed to work this way until the next version of IOS becomes available... in a month or so...

They are closing in on the solution, just haven’t gotten full control of it yet...

Let me know if you have any questions... I probably wasn’t clear enough...

Best regards,

Woohoo! I can be taught!

[carusoam]

fixing an MSer’s pics for gravity... can help him for a day...

Teach an MSer how to straighten his own pics of a fish... 

Will last until the next version of IOS comes out...

Did what you recommended and it worked like a charm. JPI told me to do a factory reset! 

[carusoam]

Go MS!

+1 for the service provided by the other guys... EI can always be found around here...

Shame on me.  Just went through this a few months ago.  Glad you got that sorted.  I am in process of getting the MP set properly and will then fly at 70% setting (ROP) to get % power to be more accurate.  The button pushing works, but you need to do exactly what the directions say...  I have the manual PDF saved and refer often with screen shots littering my photos.

I own a fair amount of EI too. Great company!
