Well hats off to the skydemon team!!!
I made a demo panel with three units running off one BT unit
A trig radio, AV-30 and fuel flow computer
They all worked perfectly with the radio and autopilot function ticked together
The only issue was the trig had old software so didn’t work until this was updated.
What a brilliant job by Tim and the team SD just keeps getting better and better !!!
Many thanks James

Hi James,
what functions are controlled in the AV-30 and fuel flow computer by SD?

Regards
Michael

Hi the SD outputs speed and track so all the nav info on AV-30 is available and on the FF computer it gets time and speed and distance so is perfect
I have a Bendix autopilot being fitted this winter and it will work that as well I am sure
What a brilliant system !
I did have a garmin handheld on the panel to feed the Av and FF but that is now on the shelf

That sounds interesting.
Do you have any information on wiring and configuring the AV-30 to input groundspeed, track and distance? 
Do you need an AV-Link or AV-HSI for these functions?
What FF computer is it? 
Pictures would be fine.

Hi Michael,Thank you very much for both answers, this is very helpful!I was thinking to wire my BT580 to the KRT2 plug, following the diagram for connecting the remote. Your second suggestion sounds very good and, indeed, clean. Would it be expensive?My problem now is that my BT580 ls not detected by SD! I am mailing with Support about it.One of those things, it should detect the device almost immediately, but it does not…Again, thank you!

Dorto, I think 70...90 bugs, like the AR620X BLE. The problem is that I don't have a KRT2 on my desk to test.
I can't say anything about why the BT580 won't connect to SD. I haven't had a BT580 yet either.
