Hi SD development Team,
If you update the firmware of your AirConnect device to the current version or buy a new AirConnect you will probably run into a problem with the Flarm connection in SD. So did I with my Samsung 10.1 tablet.
Some background information: SD has the built-in capability of using Power Flarm or similar systems via a so called 'AirConnect' device - which is absolutely a very usefull and good feature. In fact the AirConnect device is not much more than a WiFly module (WiFi connect module from Roving) surrounded by some parts for serial voltage adaption and power stabilization. Unfortunately the AirConnect device (at least the one I own) has the WiFly's GPIO 9 pin tight to 'plus voltage'. This results in automatic AP mode on power up (which is ok) with a factory predefined IP address (and this could lead into a big problem). For older firmware versions this address is '1.2.3.4'. With this IP address SD can connect to the device and everything is ok. Newer WiFly firmware (I updated to 4.41) sets the IP address to '192.168.1.1'. With this address set SD is not able to connect to the device any more (it is probably trying only with 1.2.3.4). Due to the GPIO 9 pin on plus level one is not able to modify the device's IP address persistantly via WiFly commands. After tweaking the AirConnect hardware a bit (GPI 9 removed from plus and tied down to GND) I am now able to boot into software configured AP mode which lets me now set and use the old IP address again. You could now ask: why do you update your firmware? Of course the unit was working ok before, but new AirConnect devices are already shipped with new firmware and: why not let the end user configure the IP address to use for a connection on the SD side as individually required? This would also allow for two (or even more) AirConnect devices to be used in the same place - by using different IP nets (requires hardware tweak). Normally you cannot use two air connect devices in the same place due to IP address conflicts. Because the WyFly modules always set up a point to point connection to only one single (SD) device it might be useful to have separate IP nets if you want to use two separate devices which are both using 'AirConnect' technology.
So - after all this explanation: I would very much apprechiate to have a configuration option that lets one set an IP address for the Flarm connection on one's own choice (Default could still be 1.2.3.4). This would also allow for flexible handling of future IP changes that might come with new firmware versions or maybe other WiFi devices. The required field could be presented together with the IP password which has to be set under Flarm connect settings anyway.

Thanks for reading all this stuff ;-) and for this really great product !!
