Hi all, there has been a lot of discussions about this, but never resulted in any way.
Is it possible, somehow, to get out from SkyDemon over bluetooth to RS232 converter some data?
From my current Aera 760 i have over serial port connected autopilot and Trig radio so Aera can feed AP with planned track and when i click on airfields com freq it sets stand by freq. But, it is Garmin and their weird navigation point stupid names, airfields without names and so on...

This will be nice to have on SkyDemon, are there some possibilities?

Hello, dear community.

I would like to inform you about an (may be) interesting new development from SD-Link.
We have developed a plug-and-play adapter for the Trio ProPilot autopilot that enables you to use SkyDemon as a navigation data source for the ProPilot without altering your existing wiring.
The adapter simply plugs in between the autopilot's existing wiring harness. Depending on your installation configuration, it can be utilized either as an additional navigation source—complementing an existing EFIS setup—or as the primary, SkyDemon-based navigation source.


The goal here is not to replace existing avionics systems, but rather to provide a practical solution for transmitting navigation data from SkyDemon to the Trio ProPilot—a solution that anyone can install without soldering.

We are currently seeking selected evaluation partners who have a Trio ProPilot autopilot installed and are willing to test the adapter within a real-world aircraft installation, as well as provide us with structured feedback.

You can find further information here:

We are particularly interested in receiving feedback from pilots who actively use SkyDemon and already have a Trio ProPilot installed.

Cheers
Michael / SD-Link
