Group: Forum Members Posts: 19, Visits: 58	Hi, we have the Air Connect Interface to send Traffic from Powerflarm to skydemon via WLAN. I need a Hardware connected via WLAN and RS232 to Skydemon to steer my Autopilot. Every old Handheld GPS (e.g Garmin Pilot III from 1997) can send this signals from the progammed track to my Autopilot. (TruTrak of Trio) Any change to realize this Hardward and bind it to skydemon ?

It is only the navigation software to implement the steering commands transmission. Will it come? Yes! Who will be the first and how long until allowed in certified aircraft we don't know. My bet, much quicker then old farts believe. But, many still believe handheld GPS cannot be used for autopilots, which is definitely wrong. Edited 3/18/2019 6:49:42 PM by MarkusM

Please read yor own 4 posts from page 1 before arguing why IOS is incapable......... Read careful. I did say it will come, or better it is virtually there. I did not say it will be good, or officially certified. Such use of multi purpose consumer devices is inevitable, as the power of the masses will simply do what can be done. While there is benefit in case of emergencies, the huge crowd of let loose ragtag will give a sh*t on well based rules and regulations. Not all coming is well, especially in the current Golden Calf Digital prayers age, which may well be an anti-christ thing. Edited 5/13/2020 6:44:47 PM by MarkusM
