Hi, is there a document describing the use of the new collision detection feature?
I have a "Butterfly Connect" connected to a TRX1500 which is PowerFlarm compatible
and successfully shows traffic on the Butterfly external display.

But whenever I connect the iPad the Butterfly-WLAN (which seems to work) and go
to "Setup" -> "PowerFlarm" -> "Flaying" I get a message box with:

"Lost connection to your GPS"

The "Butterfly Connect Key" is as printed on the "Butterfly Connect". On the second
connection try I get "Failed to establish a connection with the Butterfly Connect unit."?

On the TRX1500 I can choose between different protocolls: "PowerFlarm Display" or
"Garmin TIS" which one do I need?

Problem solved. The serial from the ButterFly Connect to the TRX1500 had swapped TX/RX lines.
The WiFi connection is stable. Maybe on a fair that is a problem, because the "ButterFly Connect"
can only work with one WiFi device at a time. So if 3 people have an iPhone in there pocket trying
to connect you have a problem.

Next good thing is, that the TRX1500 is being used as GPS source. So I don't have to worry about
my unreliable internal GPS or the buggy bluetooth connection to my Dual GPS.

This is a picture of an ADS-B target that is no factor:
