I have just read the forums about this topic and I'm now wondering if the debate has moved on?

I use SD in an iPad Mini 4 (alongside??) iLevils own AHRS GUI in my Europa Mono - both work well and reliably

1: Tim: from what i can glean, you are reluctant to interface SD routes/output NMEA to external devices.  Could you explain for the benefit of the Forum contributors at least, why please?

SD's GDL90 connection to my iLevil works really well for displaying position data and ADSB data on my real-time SD display.  Now i would really like to send the SD route data back to e.g. a Trutrak or Navaid roll-axis (and eventually pitch axis) autopilot.

2: Are the legal profession the problem (again)?

3: Would the development of an Wifi interface box to a range of AP controllers, help SD bridge the gap?


A loyal - and mostly pleased - SD user (not a troublemaker), asking . . .

Tim - I am a little surprised with your reaction to Semperfis post, especially as a technical person. He/she seems not only to be offering potential solutions, but the detail around them as well - (those ‘long words’).

Sending NMEA out using GDL90 for example does not appear to be technically too difficult now that it works to receive GPS data from external GPS devices?

Could you be a little clearer in answering if SD will ever facilitate NMEA out please? One of the attractions of SD has always been the fairly responsive implementation of customer suggestions - so if that is changing - and specifically if the NMEA answer is ‘never’ - then I can set course in a different direction for the enhancement of my cockpit avionics solution.
