I've noticed that SD tries to connect to different IPs and ports depending on the PIN... e.g.:
  • 0000: 192.168.0.14:100
  • 4500: 169.254.1.1:2000
  • 5000: 1.2.3.4:2000
  • 5500: 192.168.1.1:2000
sample netstat output:

Must be to address different HW releases... according to Skee's manual snippet...

See integration manual, there seems to be a indeed connection between HW release and PIN:

The new Air Connect uses protected WiFi and therefore no PIN in the app is required any more. However I am afraid the app needs a random key, e.g. "0000" or any other key. Then it should work.

Hi Tim,

Please find enclosed a couple of screenshots of contacts that have shown up on my 10" inch iPad running SD after being detected by my aircraft's PF Core. I'm not sure that they show fine detail but you can probably see that the Flarm contact (a glider) has almost totally illegible distance and height info due to the font size. Similarly, the transponder equipped contact is shown by white ring (I.e it was non- threatening) but agin, the distance info is just too small to be read. If it wasn't for the optional audio licence I have with my PF Core, I probably wouldn't have noticed the Flarm contact.

Is there any way the font size can be made bigger please? If you would like the pics to be sent to you via email, please let me know. Thanks.

Paul

I've had a problem getting SD to stay connected to PF for more than a few minutes (between 7 and 20) using a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 or Tab 4 (Android), but have twice run it for over an hour without problem on an iPad (IOS8). Once the connection goes the only way of resolving the issue is resetting the Wifi. LX Avionics (PF dealer) told me that they've had a problem with PF and Android (something to do with update rate, I think the chap said).

So I think I have found the issue I was having with PFLARM and SD not connecting. I just hadn't noticed that the butterfly connect code had been reset to the default of 1234 in the s/w update and there was now a new place the code under Setup->Device Connectivity Options...  
Silly me, I expect it will work OK now.

It's purely a software system, and will become used when more hardware ADS/B receivers/transceivers are available over the coming year or two, and are connected to SkyDemon.
