Hi everyone
Does anyone uses ICfly AHRS and traffic together with Skydemon? I fly two planes with an ICfly AHRS with PowerFLARM traffic information. You can connect to the ICfly via WIFI which works, but still if I use Skydemon I don't have either position information, nor traffic data. It works great with a friends skymap app though. 
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help
Fabian

Hi,

we successfully tested this feature using latest SkyDemon beta version during a short test flight last Saturday.

Many thanks to Hannah and Tim,
Tobi


Hi all,

Would the same apply to the interesting Android App "SafeSky"? It collects data from ADS-B, FANET, FLARM, Microtrak and OGN Tracker for free and connects to many Air Navigation Apps.
Has someone tried already?

Phil

I have not yet tried it myself, but since SafeSky uses the GDL90 protocol, there shouldn't be a problem. On SafeSky's website there is a video showing SafeSky being used with SD utilising a split screen. I currently use a SkyEcho2 with Flarm decoding which, although it  doesn't alert me to all traffic, is very accurate. So, I am going to trial SafeSky, but I intend to use my phone exclusively for SafeSky and my tablet for SD until such time as I am absolutely certain of the accuracy of SafeSky's data. If it turns out that SafeSky's data is inaccurate—many similar data aggregating sites experience significant inaccuracies and latency (eg: FR24)—then I will ditch SafeSky and continue with my SkyEcho2 and Mk1 eyeball—end of story.

Well ... yes and no. On SafeSky settings you must activate the "Enable GDL90", which in turn activates a "you must be an Early Bird user to access this feature", and upon pressing "JOIN NOW" it opens up a "SUBSCRIBE FOR € 24.99" page . Too bad.
