Think I've spotted a bug in the AR6201 interface.  Some airports around here have ATIS on NAV frequencies, not COM.  If I send that frequency to the radio without realising it was not a valid COM frequency, Skydemon crashes and I have to restart it.   No error messages, just goes back to the iPad desktop.  Reopen Skydemon and everything working again from the point it dropped out. 
Looks like a check is needed to only send valid frequencies to the radio?

Can you give me an example of a frequency that results in a crash?

Hello Tim,

I did ask for a Vnav protocol. Then the autopilot can also fly to requested height.
Is that possible?

With kind regards and keep up the good work

I tried 115.100 and I think 109.200

It only crashes when the iPad is connected to the radio.  If I am just in simulate at home, it does not crash.

Thanks. Looks like we have already implemented protection against that in the forthcoming 4.1 release.

@Michael: The experience with the KRT 2 SD-Link (quality, installation effort, documentation and also pricing) was so great, that I would definitely also buy your AV-30 Adapter as soon as it is available. Do you think it might be possible to use it on top of the AV-Link Wifi-Adapter, which receives our GDL90 Traffic Data Stream? I think AV Link uses a different Pin to transfer the traffic data to the AV-30!?
I did not expect, the all this might be available :-)
Happy Easter,
Stephan

Stephan,
the wait is over. The SD-Link AV-30 adapter is now available. This will turn your uAvionix AV-30 into an HSI displaying the planned SkyDemon legs. The existing AV-Link for the traffic display will continue to function ;-)

It's a simple "plug and play adapter", just plug it in and enjoy the new features.


Here is more information:


Cheers!
Michael
