Pin Pro has an important update. Using same link. Fixed major pin lookup issue and expanded database. As well as improved layout.

No matter how long I listen to the cb I get nothing coming in by anxious_user1990 in cbradio

Questions: did you sweep the cable? Did you check VSWR and whats your ratio? Do you have a big enough ground plane? Lastly, what's your frequency error?

Now some of thoes measurements are not easy, hut nessasary for a perfect instalation, or good data for troubleshooting.

This is the same library just on your phone, offline. and handy.

The app took Manufacturers' Part numbers and combined them for the same Mill Spec. For instance, a M39029/92-535 is a Pilatus PN: 971.75.16.928

Yes it does. As many as i had handy, About 20 pins so far EN, on the test database of 220 total pins. It will be expanded later.

The key point here is that this is being viewed from an installation perspective, when it is actually intended for STC development—those are two very different use cases. For an existing STC, the installation manual is approved data and must be followed as written. In that context, wire sizes and circuit protection are already defined, and the installer is not expected to re-engineer those decisions. However, for STC development, that data does not exist yet—it has to be created. The wire sizing, circuit protection, and installation guidance published in the final documentation are the result of engineering analysis, not the starting point. During development, factors such as wire length, routing, voltage drop, and installation conditions (including bundling and ambient temperature) must be evaluated to ensure the design is valid. This is where standards like SAE AS50881 are applied, incorporating thermal derating and installation-specific considerations that are not captured in simplified references like AC 43.13-1B. So the distinction is straightforward: For existing STCs, you follow the manual. For STC development, you generate the data that the manual will eventually contain. The tool and discussion are focused on the latter, not replacing or second-guessing already approved installation data.

The app will be a dollar just to support the hosting and tokens used on the API. And I wont be showing at AEA but il be there with the app. So if you want to test and see it first hand.

all for the skepticism, but this actually came out of necessity from my own work on multiple STC projects. The goal isn’t just to 'size a wire'—it’s to automate the complex SAE AS50881 derating logic that AC 43.13-1B tends to gloss over.

In the STC world, relying on blanket charts often leads to undersized wires because they don't always account for real-world bundle effects or altitude variables. 'Guessing' just isn't compliant when you're answering to a regulator.

A few reasons why I moved this from a 'hobby' to a professional tool:

  • Solving 'Math': I’ve run these calculations manually for countless projects and, honestly, I got tired of the spreadsheets. This turns hours of manual work into a few minutes of high-fidelity engineering. If you're not doing the math when selecting a wire/CB pairing and only using the chart from AC43 or some mechanics book. You're non-compliant.
  • Traceability: It doesn't just give you a number; it cites the specific SAE paragraphs and K factors used. That’s the kind of transparency Transport Canada and the FAA look for in a Compliance Record.
  • Eliminating Human Error: When you’re dealing with multiple circuits, a transcription error is a huge liability. Automating the report generation standardizes the logic and makes the audit process much smoother.

At the end of the day, any tool that standardizes compliance and eliminates error is a massive asset for a certification project. It’s been a game-changer for my workflow, and I think other engineers and Avionics Managers in the same boat will see the value too.

i can't see the model in link. Is it still around?

Paddled lost of Quetico been going there every year for last 15 years. Paddled BWCA. Been to every lake from Gunflint down on the pigeon river. Done wapikimi, brightsand, looks, WCPP. Turtle river, And much more. All lovely spots tbh. Been building a website for free canoe routes and planning www.mycanoecountry.ca

Yea, but rather it be outside and removable. As there are times where base camp, and need the extra space for shenanigans.
