Hi,

I am trying to make a compact setup with most possible options. I would prefer that have only one device transmitting over the phone network, so I can switch it off easily if problems arise because it's transmitting. To do that, I would like to have my PilotAware Rosetta FX connect to my tablet's hotspot network, instead of my tablet connect to PilotAware, so I can use internet features on both PilotAware and Skydemon. However, Skydemon does not have the option to specify on which IP the Pilotaware can be found. I guess it assumes 192.168.1.1 and tries to connect to that. Would there be a way to have it connect to other IP's as well if the Rosetta FX connects to the tablet's network? Maybe the IP can be deducted in some way, e.g. from the list of Wifi clients of the hotspot (if the OS can give that) and tren try them all (cannot be too many).

We have no plans to offer such a feature at the moment because it conflicts with our goal of SkyDemon being as simple to use as possible.

I understand and I think that's good. Normally you wouldn't need the option. However, in the special case you might want this configuration, at least you could. Now I am missing out on information.

Are you describing a scenario of a cellular tablet and an FX ?

If so connecting to the FX will not break the cellular routing connection, as the FX (by default) does not advertise as a router/gateway device

What you seem to be describing is that when connected to FX, your tablet cannot access the internet via its cellular network

Please describe in detail your setup, what you are seeing, and what you would like to see

Thx
Lee
