I did a tcpdump on the wifi data sent by the Sentry Mini, which is made by uAvionix, and it seems to blast out GDL-90 format data on UDP/4000 like other ADS-B receivers.  It looks like it should be possible to add this to the list of receivers that work with Skydemon, and it's a pretty nice, inexpensive device.  When I try to use it in SD as a GDL90 Compatible Device I get "Waiting for Device".

I'd be happy to send my Sentry Mini to you to test with if you like.  Seems like it would be a good addition to the portfolio of Third-Party Devices.

I've just bought a skyecho 2, so I will have a "blessed" solution (when it arrives), but I thought I'd propose this idea for those that either don't need FLARM in, or already have a FLARM solution and just need ADS-B in.

Hi Mickey, maybe you could talk to customer support directly? When you made your first post I wrote to uAvionix to ask them, and they confirmed the device you mentioned does NOT output standard GDL90 and is not intended to work with products other than Foreflight.

Understood - thanks for checking into this.   I think the Sentry Mini is a lot less useful in Europe anyway, since it only does ADS-B.  The SE2 adds FLARM as you know.  I'm quite happy with the SE2 and really can't see a good reason for SD to waste time supporting the Sentry Mini.
