I hooked up the Dynon EFIS to my laptop while I watched the SuperBowl so I could record data from it. I took the partially-working data recording program I created many months ago, and merged it with the Engine Monitor program I created while I was in Wichita. I now have a working Perl script to record data from the Dynon EFIS, at a selectable data rate. It does exactly what I need now, so I won't waste any more time on it for the foreseeable future. Someday (i.e. after I get flying) I'll do some more work on this program to make it a bit more user-friendly.

The Dynon EFIS spits out data at 64 records per second, which is a very high data rate. I'm only interested in one or two records per second. And I wanted to add hi-resolution computer time to each record, so I could do a time-sync with the data from the Engine Monitor and the GPS.

I'll update the script to run in Active State Perl on Windows, someday. But, if anyone wants the current version, send me an e-mail (khorton01 AT rogers DOT com). It was developed on OS X, but it should work on any Unix-like operating system, such as Linux.
