I have an old Vision Micro VM1000. Does any one recall if there is any
orientation restriction on the DPU (digital processor unit) box? The
manual doesn't indicate any preference, but the thing does have some
socketed parts in it, which will be upside down if I mount it the way I
want to.

Thanks,

When I had mine in (and didn't fly with it) - I mounted it so access to the
cable disconects was easiest....worked fine on the ground....

I didn't see any restrictions....

Hi Tom,

I don't recall there being any orientation to the DPU but there isn't
anything inside that would matter. I have been inside mine to change a
circuit board and there isn't anything but electronics. You probably
already know this, but there isn't much support or parts available for the
VM1000 anymore. The company website had said they were forced to move to
Texas last year and now it says they have moved to Costa Mesa, Ca. The
original owner who knew anything about the VM1000 left the company
unexpectedly. Have you checked on the ability to upgrade the unit to their
latest product? The newer VM 1000C is less money and better product. If
mine had not been already installed I would have tried to upgrade it. Just
a thought.

If you have an older VM1000C, JPI will upgrade it to the new VM1000C for
free. The new one is a JPI EMD900 in the VM1000C case.

Bruce:
I didn't know that (kind of late for me since all the sensors are
installed). Doesn't the newer unit use a different type of sensor?
You'd be starting from scratch to switch to the new unit.

Here is a lesson to all builders: Delay the purchase of your
electronics/avionics as long as possible. I bought my vm1000 early
because I was offered a deal on it. Big mistake. (Well, I have to
admit that taking 10 years to finish the project gives you more
opportunities to make such mistakes.)
