    EFIS For Homebuilt / Experimental Aircraft.

    Kwik EFIS can now use the open source Stratux ADSB and Stratux AHRS sensor. Flight testing has been quite satisfactory to date. See: http://members.iinet.net.au/~ninelima/efis/stratux/Kwik_EFIS_Article_How_Affordable1.html Some video...

    Kwik EFIS v3.2 available The official signed F-Droid (FOSS) version of Kwik EFIS is now available. There are only a few minor changes from the v3.2-rc release candidate, the most noticeable would be the introduction of voice alterts for stall, sink, terrain and 500. The program can be...

    EFIS For Homebuilt / Experimental Aircraft.

    Sounds good. The acid test if however if it works under acceleration. If you can get some early flight test data on the BNO055, A single coordinated 360 degree turn will tell you all you need to know :-) I'd really like to hear your results. It would be great to have something that finally works.

    EFIS For Homebuilt / Experimental Aircraft.

    This could work. It is the way I am thinking. The tablets are very capable and sophisticated pieces of electronics, considering how ridiculously little they cost. Having said that, Daylight / Bright sunshine view-ability is a bit of an issue ... see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VKt1pFnpbY...

    EFIS For Homebuilt / Experimental Aircraft.

    Oleg from http://experimentalavionics.com/ has apparently had some success with the Adafruit BNO055 9 axis absolute orientation sensor board. He sells blank PC bords and some other components for not much money. It might make a nice starting point.

    EFIS For Homebuilt / Experimental Aircraft.

    I have to agree with donjohnston. Any homemade EFIS with decent performance will probably require a commercial AHRS. I tried building a few homemade AHRS's using MEMS/Arduino/Sparkfun etc over the years, but I have never managed to get anything comparable to the commercial offerings (Garmin...

    EFIS For Homebuilt / Experimental Aircraft.

    I have been working on something for the standard Android devices. I named it kwik EFIS. The results are very dependent on the device used though. Quad Core devices with suitable sensors like the Nexus 7 work OK. Also tested om om some of the later model Samsung devices. For more information...

    Metal Varieze?

    Here is a all metal canard design we have been working on for a while. All the initial aerodynamic and structural design work is complete. The canard construction is currently under way. BVH Goomie http://members.iinet.net.au/~ninelima/goomie/
