Any news on this?

Hello Tim, Maybe not a lot of people are mentioning this, but i think a lot of people would like to have this. We would like the options for the G5 the gamin auto pilot and the AT-1 together with the setup for the radio.

That exactly what i think too, and what i want to get...Then you dont have to feed g5 or any AP with gps like garmin aera...

Would you expect SkyDemon to send GPRMB sentences only, or also synthesize GPRMC sentences and similar?

+xWould you expect SkyDemon to send GPRMB sentences only, or also synthesize GPRMC sentences and similar? GPRMC, GPRMB, GPGGA, and one of GPBOD or GPAPB |

That makes life harder, because usually we do not even have access to raw GPS sentences, so we would need to be creating those messages with synthesized information. Please email us through the contact form on our website, and ask for it to be forwarded to me, and we can continue this discussion offline. In due course I'll be able to make a beta available to you for testing purposes.

How strange that now we're focusing on exactly this development, nobody in this thread wishes to help.
|
By Tim Dawson - 3/11/2024 10:37:15 AM
No news at the moment. It simply isn't something that is requested a great deal, so at the moment we are busy on other things.

I would be happy to help. I have SD running on iPad Mini 4 and would want to connect to Dynon Skyview touch. Im reasonably competent but would need some guidance re hardware and connection.
|
By Tim Dawson - 6/21/2024 8:45:54 AM
Thanks, but we already support connections to Dynon Skyviews. Unless I am confused about that products in question?

By Skyboy999 - 6/22/2024 7:30:09 AM
Present support is to send flight plan from SD to SV via SV wifi. This thread is about real time guidance from SD to drive SV autopilot which, I understood, requires the discussed BT connection etc. Or have I misunderstood? If capability already exists to do this then fantastic- please tell me how!

From what I've heard, people drive their Skyview autopilot from the Skyview itself, having transferred the SkyDemon route on to it.
I do not know that the Skyview autopilot can be disconnected from the Skyview and given commands by other software, but if it can, and it accepts those commands via RS232, then our solution might work.

Yes, you send the SD route to SV via wifi connection from SV then, once on SV, it can drive autopilot etc. but what I'm referring to is effectively using SD as a navigation source into SV so any changes made in SD would be reflected real-time in SV. Perhaps my confusion but that is what I understood the BT connectivity would enable? |
By Tim Dawson - 6/25/2024 9:07:25 AM
I'm afraid we have exceeded my knowledge of how the Skyview can connect to other avionics, sorry. Our forthcoming Bluetooth connectivity will allow SkyDemon to be connected to autopilots that accept GPRMB sentences over RS232 to set the current heading etc.

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? Vitek

Ok, we have started work on getting NMEA autopilot sentences out of SkyDemon, and we would like to explore the Bluetooth option.
vikino, are you still willing to test this? What's your current recommendation for a Bluetooth-to-RS232 device? We will need to purchase one/some for testing in our office, and figure out a good way of testing that the data really is getting to the RS232 feed from the device.

Hello, off course i want to, also with AP if it is possible to send COM freq to radio by clicking of freq in SD. Best what i hafe found, tested and best for this usage is IRXON BT578 v3, it can do BT Com (SPP profile) and also BLE, so it works with Apple and Android

Is either of these the correct item?

The first one |

Ok, I've ordered one, it should turn up in the next two weeks.

It's likely to be an iOS development first, but I'll post here when we have something working.

If it helps I can also offer tests with a KRT2 radio which is available via an BLE-compatible device (esp32 based).

I have hard wired TRIG TY96, TY91, some Garmin radios, its no problem to test them all Afterwards we can try to connect Garrecht TRX-1500 air traffic over the same Bluetooth, because its also working in my plane over the same RS232 like autopilot, and its already supported in SD, only newer version AT-1, but sentences are the same.
Those features will be HUGE improvement in SD for all pilots |
