I have two Westack capacitance fuel probes and I would like to power them from PIN 18 of the Dynon Skyview. That pin is a 5 VDC output and the only other item that this pin will power is a Grand Rapids CS-02 Hall Effect Sensor.

Any experience would be most appreciated!!!
..

Cheers!!!

From the specifications it doesn't appear you can use 5V to power these probes. They are specified 12/24V (28V max), with the output being 0-5V. You should power them from the main bus, or (if your Skyview installation manual lists it), to the +12V Auxiliary Output pin (pin 15 of the 37-pin connector). Not all SkyView systems appear to have that pin so double check.

Rob,
It took awhile for me to get back to this thread but THANKS!!!
For posterity sake, I tried the 5 VDC power source from Skyview and that did not work however the 12 VDC PIN 15 works great!!!
Now I can check fuel by just firing up the Skyview (press and hold button #1) and do not need to have to connect the battery master!!!
Thanks,
