the idea is to put the bluetooth module on our autopilot so a route in Skydemon on the phone can control the autopilot

Hi Tim.

is it possible to have one blue tooth unit on the Autopilot and a second blue tooth unit to control the radio or is it only possible to have one unit via blue tooth connected via Skydemon

It is possible to have one device for radio, another for AP and 3rd for traffic, but at this time, Tim made improvements so you can also use one BT device for Radio+AP

I have a Trig radio in a tandem aircraft with two control heads (one front, one rear).  The Trig manual says that the RS232 input will only update the control head it is connected to.

Does anyone know if I can connect one RS232 adapter to both control heads to deliver the frequency change to both (so that I can select the frequency from either one), or do I need a separate RS232 adapter for each head?

That's a question best for Trig themselves. I have found them very helpful; give them a call.

I have now fitted 1 bluetooth unit to both the autopilot and the radio. but if I understood it correctly, before I start flight mode I have to decide if I want to be able to control the autopilot or the radio. then only one is active at a time. if I want to control both during the same flight mode, I have to have two bluetooth devices one that controls the autopilot and another that controls the radio is it correctly understood

It works really well.
Could the next step in development be a numeric keyboard in the radio tab so you can enter a frequency if the one you get is not in the Skydemon and a button to switch standby and primary radio channel
