It works with iOS, tested with iPhone, iPad, as well Android devices, tablets, phones, 578 v3 without any single issue...
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.

Hi,

I’m wondering where you connect the 5v supply for the Bluetooth module in your aircraft?

Thanks!

Caveat all those who wish to hand over control of an aircraft to uncertified avionics and software running on consumer electronics devices.

Yes there is documentation out there. Search for Garmin GTR 225 installation manual and look for the PGRMC NMEA sentence.

Got it.
Thanks.

I got a IRXON BT578 v3 and can connect to it with Skydemon. Tim, is it possible to make a change to allow both sending frequency to a radio and receiving GPS/Traffic using the same device?

Maybe in the future. These things only cost around £15, so for the time being, just use more than one.

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.

SkyDemon uses Bluetooth low energy (BLE). There's no pairing process, there's no SPP, it requires pretty much no configuration, so it's very easy.

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

Thanks Tim

Hi, 

has anyone tested it with a TruTrak AP? It requires NMEA0183 format.

Since the Bluetooth to RS232 converter is accessed via SkyDemon, does that mean it is still possible to pair other devices with the Bluetooth function of an iPad? I'm thinking of something like sending the route to an autopilot (connected through SkyDemon) and having the iPad connected to a headset with Bluetooth connectivity (for SkyDemon audio) using the normal Bluetooth function.
