As stated by BJS
It seems crazy that we  have certified autopilots coupled to devices such as the lowly  Garmin196, but we are not able to utilize the amazing capabilities of an IPad or smart phone running Sky Demon just because we cant export a route to the autopilot !!! 
Surely there is a consumer blue tooth device capable of providing this interface out there?
If you know of one please help

This device has been  suggested as a possible contender / solution

https://uconnect.com.tw/S2B5232E.html

Has anyone investigated or tried this device?


Skydemon are prepared to look at this but don’t want to speculatively commit to doing a lot of development work on it  until they see there’s a good-sized community of people who will benefit and are that keen to  invest in in such a device.


Please declare your interest on this forum,  direct to Skydemon or at the next trade show they are attending.
If they get a more  people asking about it it will happen.

I'll add my interest here. I recently started looking to see if a low--cost wing-leveller/heading autopilot was available to add to my skyranger. I found several units on the market now by firms such as Levil, Aircraft Automation, Stratus, X-flight etc. All designed to use things like trim tabs separate from the primary flight controls. From what I can see, they all use a simple AHRS box and EFIS software running on a tablet. There are several navigation apps that work with them such as iflyGPS as they output NMEA strings through lightning to serial cables. 

This seems to be a growing market in the world of uncertified aircraft and I'd love to be able to utilise Skydemon to drive a system like this.
