+x+x+x+xNo, not until there is a device with widespread uptake in the community that we can actually develop with. We can't just "support Bluetooth" without a known device to develop and test with. Hello I have connected 1 bluetooth device to Funke radio and Dynon autopilot. It works great with Android but doesn't work with iPhone. With iphone you have to choose radio or Ap. Did we miss something or does it not work to control both with the iPhone. Is there anything that solves this? or should I mount 2 bluetooth units one yill radio and the other for AP
I'm not sure I understood you correctly, you only connected ONE bluetooth device to the Funke radio AND to the Dynon autopilot? How did you do that? Yes, i have on one IRXON Trig radio and Dynon AP... Just use the same RS232 wire for both... This workaround is called multidrop. This only works if there is ONE transmitter and multiple receivers. The recipients all receive the same data packets and discard those they do not understand. As soon as the receivers also have to react, this concept with RS232 fails. Devices transmitting at the same time lead to collisions. The transmission becomes unreadable. I believe SD has only sent over BLE so far. Some devices, e.g. the Becker AR6201 also need to send data to SD, and then multidrop will fail. I assume that each controlled device has to use its own BLE. Maybe Tim can say something about that?

+xWhen this is used to send a frequency(channel) to the radio, how do you choose between standby or active frequency when you choose a new frequency in SD.
When setting up a new BLE device, you need to select the function you want to control. Autopilot, radio or whatever comes next. If you select radio you can determine whether you want to set the active or standby frequency. I prefer to set the standby frequency. You can set it via the tablet, check it again and then activate it manually. I hope this helps.

Excellent to see support coming for the Becker, Winter project ahead! Well done for the work tracking down the protocol.

Thanks to Tim there is now an Android beta with support of the Becker AR6201 protocol.
Here is my solution to connect a BLE device to the Becker AR6201 radio:
Bill of material:
DSD TECH HM-10 Bluetooth 4.0 BLE iBeacon UART Modul mit 4 PIN Base Board für Arduino UNO R3 Mega 2560 Nano
RS422 MAX490 Mutual Transfer Full-duplex TTL Bi-directional Signal Module DC 5V
AMS1117 DC-DC Step Down Voltage Converter 6V - 12V to 5V
Minifuse 125 mA
My BLE to AR620x housing Please contact me for STL-files, if needed.
The schematic of the circuit is attached.
Please note this is only for 12 V bus voltage, and ONLY for experimental use!!!
Cheers!

+xYes, we are willing to add support for Becker radios if someone can help us with the protocol and testing of the feature. Just get in touch with me via customer support (Michael) and we can talk about it. For everyone waiting for a solution for Becker AR620X: Yes, there is progress. The translator solution already works, but there will also be a solution from Tim without a translator. Stay tuned.

Thanks Tim - sure enough going into iPad - Settings - Privacy & Security - Bluetooth - in there, Sky Demon was showing with toggle off for Blue Tooth permission. I have toggled this to green to  now give permission. Looking forward to seeing it now work when I next go to airfield 👍🏼
