Autopilot + COM freq. over BT to RS232

vikino	v vikino posted 6/1/2023 5:02:31 AM HOT Topic Details Share Topic
v Group: Forum Members Posts: 28, Visits: 67	Hi all, there has been a lot of discussions about this, but never resulted in any way. Is it possible, somehow, to get out from SkyDemon over bluetooth to RS232 converter some data? From my current Aera 760 i have over serial port connected autopilot and Trig radio so Aera can feed AP with planned track and when i click on airfields com freq it sets stand by freq. But, it is Garmin and their weird navigation point stupid names, airfields without names and so on... This will be nice to have on SkyDemon, are there some possibilities? Vitek
