I have an uncertified engine and the uncertfied Version of the Garmin G5. My plane is an "Experimental" homemade RV6. ;-) I always have to be prepared, that the engine fall of the plane.... That is why skydemon refers to Avionics Engineers. and That is why it's good to be a certified pilot. Achim

Is your 578 correctly configured? It can me configured via RS232 from PC... Yesterday my perfekt working installation went crasy. :-( The TRIO Pro Pilot only accepted the tracking Signal for a few 10 minutes. After resetting all in flight, the Autopilot tries to navigate me in the wrong direction. After another 10 minutes it lose again the Signal. The route was a "Reversed" original Route (back from Helgoland to Hildesheim)(PH-CRJ in FR24) I will try it again next week.

I purchased a BT578V3 and it doesn't work with IOS. It dont work with IOS, it work with skydemon on IOS* !!! :-) You can not find a BLE-Device with native IOS. You must find and add it from Skydemon. (read Manual) The IOS APP "Lightblue" can show BLE-Devices nearby (like Apple Airtags) Achim PS: I ordered my Bt578v3 from Aliexpress (found via google) It works with iOS, tested with iPhone, iPad, as well Android devices, tablets, phones, 578 v3 without any single issue...

Group: Forum Members Posts: 46, Visits: 10	+x Tim Dawson - 8/27/2024 8:59:31 AM SkyDemon works great with BLE devices on iOS and Android, it has been tested extensively on both using the BT578 but others should work the same. We don't have a list of radios that support the Garmin protocol that we use. Trig are definitely included. Is there a documentation of the used Garmin protocol? As already mentioned, I would like to control a Becker AR6201. If it is a GARMIN protocol, can you also control a GNS 430 / 530 with it? Are there any experiences?
