But I don't think there was any change in SkyDemon to the BLE stuff in 4.2.3, and plenty of people are using SkyDemon's BLE stuff in 4.2.3 on Android. Made some more tests today and problem is only on Samsung devices with Android 16

Strange...because ive tryied Android 4.2.3 also 4.2.4 beta on multiple Android devices and all still Seeking for satellites... For me TRX-1500 works with SkyDemon 4.2.4 with Android13 and Android 16. Tested with this Bluetooth device: https://www.utronix.se/Aviation/

If SkyDemon 4.2.3 was not able to get location from BLE devices, there would be hundreds of people getting in touch about it. What have customer support said? That there is wrong baudspeed set or some wiring problem, but its not. Why would it work on 4.2.1, iPhone 4.2.3 and not Android 4.2.3?

On Android version 4.2.3.0 there is a bug when you want to use location service from external traffic receiver (TRX-1500), android says Seeking for satellites. When i use version 4.2.1.0, everything works like it should. Also Apple version 4.2.3.0 works fine. Vitek

But don't worry—anyone can replace the four screws. Still, no soldering or wiring changes required. SD-Link TY96-DS Cheers!

These ones have a 3d printed cover for the electronics however the main structure that stabilises the connectors is cnc machined aluminium. It has all the same features as my Trig modules, except that it runs off the aircraft bus directly so the power supply is good for 6 to 60 volts. It's very compact too, adding only 28mm to the existing connector length. You can connect an EFIS or Autopilot etc.. to the spare serial port and only the required radio control packets are filtered and sent to the Funke radio. For anyone interested they are available here https://prodimex.co.uk/products/simpleble-for-funke-atr833-radios Edited 9/23/2025 1:54:19 PM by IO390
