No need for more beta testing of these features as they went live earlier this week in our new version. SkyDemon 4 is out now and it includes sending of frequencies to radios, and course data to autopilots.

I would like to sign up as beta tester if needed.
I have the Skyview Radio panel which is useless in Denmark with all our small grass-strips (Half the flying time is spend rotating for new freq) - I would simply be overjoyed to have Skydemon able to transmit frequencies to the remote radio unit and put tape over the Dynon radio panel. You just smashed it with this feature....
Secondly I transmit routes from Skydemon to FPL inside Skyview, but having the servoes run by Skydemon is also extremely valuable. The last stretch were we get landing information and select the landing pattern in Skydemon can now be flown by autopilot controlled by Skydemon as I seldom have time to transmit FLP to Skyview and select the right leg inside FPL menu in Skyview - this is also a killer feature.
Wow just wow I have bought the serial adaptor and are ready to test

Hi, I tested it today with this equipment: VAN's RV6 experimental, iPad mini 6, Skydemon 4.0.0.397, Blutooth->RS232 Adapter Bt578v3, TRIO Autopilot. It works perfectly !! :-)

+x+xFrom what I've heard, people drive their Skyview autopilot from the Skyview itself, having transferred the SkyDemon route on to it.
I do not know that the Skyview autopilot can be disconnected from the Skyview and given commands by other software, but if it can, and it accepts those commands via RS232, then our solution might work. Yes, you send the SD route to SV via wifi connection from SV then, once on SV, it can drive autopilot etc. but what I'm referring to is effectively using SD as a navigation source into SV so any changes made in SD would be reflected real-time in SV. Perhaps my confusion but that is what I understood the BT connectivity would enable? Hi, SV is intended to use internal SV maps to drive AP, i have to look into manuals if it is possible to drive SV AP over RS232. This what will be in SD is meant to drive older Dynon APs, as well as Garmin AP with G5, stand-alone autopilots. There it will work real-time.

I'm afraid we have exceeded my knowledge of how the Skyview can connect to other avionics, sorry. Our forthcoming Bluetooth connectivity will allow SkyDemon to be connected to autopilots that accept GPRMB sentences over RS232 to set the current heading etc.

Present support is to send flight plan from SD to SV via SV wifi. This thread is about real time guidance from SD to drive SV autopilot which, I understood, requires the discussed BT connection etc. Or have I misunderstood? If capability already exists to do this then fantastic- please tell me how!

Thanks, but we already support connections to Dynon Skyviews. Unless I am confused about that products in question?
