It works perfectly !! :-) Can you please post make and model of the bluetooth adapter. I purchased a BT578V3 and it doesn't work with IOS.

BLE to RS232 has a defined service and characteristic UUID (one for each) which you should be able to find online.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 11, Visits: 10	Hi @Tim and everyone, I'm working on building a Bluetooth to CAN bus interface and transforming the message, which isn't too challenging. However, as an iPhone user, I'm running into difficulties connecting to SkyDemon from a Bluetooth-enabled microcontroller. My main question is: When SkyDemon starts scanning for devices, what exactly is it looking for? Is it expecting an RFCOMM or SPP connection via Classic Bluetooth, assumingly as a server? Or is it scanning for a specific GATT using BLE? It would be really helpful if someone familiar with the scanning and connection code in SkyDemon could clarify this. Additionally, I've ordered one of the standalone converters that were mentioned earlier. Once it arrives, what configuration is necessary for it to connect properly? Thanks in advance for any guidance!

I have the Skyview Radio panel which is useless in Denmark with all our small grass-strips (Half the flying time is spend rotating for new freq) - I would simply be overjoyed to have Skydemon able to transmit frequencies to the remote radio unit and put tape over the Dynon radio panel. You just smashed it with this feature.... Secondly I transmit routes from Skydemon to FPL inside Skyview, but having the servoes run by Skydemon is also extremely valuable. The last stretch were we get landing information and select the landing pattern in Skydemon can now be flown by autopilot controlled by Skydemon as I seldom have time to transmit FLP to Skyview and select the right leg inside FPL menu in Skyview - this is also a killer feature. Wow just wow I have bought the serial adaptor and are ready to test
