Skydemon on ipad 2 with powerflarm core. Latest software version on Ipad and Skydemon. The Ipad connects to the butterfly connect network with correct key.This can be seen in ipad setup wifi. Sometimes Skydemon works first time via powerflarm go flying and then drops out with error mesage "lost GPS signal" then "Failed to establish a connection with the Butterfly connect unit"
Nothing I then do will re-establish contact even rebooting ipad and Flarm core. Next time I try it works or not. Skydemon works fine with normal Go Flying. Tried new ipad but no different.Any ideas?

SkyDemon uses the Flarm output for everything, including GPS position, when you are connected to a Flarm device.

There isn't much documentation on the whole setup because there really isn't much to it. You connect your iPad to your Butterfly Connect's WiFi bubble (that part should be in the documentation associated with your Butterfly product) then just press the button in SkyDemon.

I have the same problem as DereckL, I never get more than 40 minutes of continuous conection, the Butterfly has been changed but to no avail, I followed Grilla's comments and looked at Sporty's IPad for Pilots site, they recommend when using 3rd party equipment with the IPad, that the airplane mode is switched on, then re-enable WIFI.

I did this yesterday, the Butterfly connected immediately, it took a few minutes to locate me, but I was hopefull that my 9 months of problems and frustration were sorted, after only 7 minutes, it lost position, indicating "Waiting for Location Data" not the usual "Failed to Establish Connection With The Butterfly Connect Unit" 3 minutes later it found me and stayed connected for the next 15 minutes before indicating "Waiting for Location Data" again. After 10 minutes I gave up and reverted to the IPad internal GPS.

This is a serious and distracting problem, that needs sorting, much better to use our eyes outside the cockpit.

I have put up with this because I believed that the 2 companys involved would sort out this problem and make my flying safer. At the moment it is doing the reverse.

If anyone has a fix, please let the rest of know.
