This device is now ready for the test with the Becker Radio. The pre check was done with the female connector where I connected the Tx with the Rx pins. With this approach it was possible the HW-path until the Rx pin of the BT Module.One issue took some hours to solve. The BT-Modul need 3.3V signals and the RS322-TTL module delivers 5V signals. The BT Module stopped working... only after adapting to 3.3V by 2 resistors it worked. I will report about the results tomorrow... After activating the Tandem option in the Becker menue, it worked directly an absolutly perfekt with the Beta version of SD. Many thanks to SkyDemon..especially to TIM. Great Job!

I want to send radio frequencies from SD on my iPad to the KRT2 via the adapter. Question: Do I need to hard wire (solder) the pins on the RS 232 adapter to the pins on the db9 plug on the KRT2 (of course, the connections as mentioned in the SD user manual)? And what about the power supply for the BT580? Thank you so much!

The schematic of the circuit is attached. Please note this is only for 12 V bus voltage, and ONLY for experimental use!!! Cheers! An addendum to the Becker AR620X BLE circuit: Do not use RS-422 port 2, this is already used internally to connect the control unit. This still works, but is unreliable. Collisions occur when sending frequency settings. 9 out of 10 commands work, but the rest will drive you nuts. So use RS-422 PORT 1 (pins 7,8,14,15 instead of pins 2,3, 9,10). A new schematic is attached. Life is a barrel of fun. Sometimes a barrel of Sauerkraut. Cheers. Attachments SCHEMATIC BLE TO AR620X V2.pdf (10 views, 81.00 KB)

But yes, the signal lines have to be connected and a power supply wouldn't be bad either. How did you connect the BT580 now? Simply placing them next to each other doesn't work. You definitely mean IRXON, right? Life is a barrel of fun. Michael

D Group: Forum Members Posts: 3, Visits: 0	Hi Michael, Thank you for your somewhat clinical answer, I appreciate it. I have not used the IRXON BT580 yet, it is on my desk not in my plane (Phoenix MLA)…. I had hoped someone has experience with the combi BT580 - KRT2 I will connect the right pins, of course, and not just put them on top of each other. The question about power supply for the BT580, I still have, however… Best regards

Btw, IRXON is plug and play, it is set to 9600baud so every radio, at least Garmin, Trig, KRT2, Funke, all those are 9600 by default and accept NMEA0183 messages, as well as autopilot controllers, also mostly by default 9600bps, so IRXON could be the way to make it as compactible device... Im ready to test Hi Vikino, I have a BT580 and iPad air. SD keeps searching for a Bluetooth device.. I hope you can help! Can we talk off line or email? Thanks, Robert
