+xHi the SD outputs speed and track so all the nav info on AV-30 is available and on the FF computer it gets time and speed and distance so is perfect I have a Bendix autopilot being fitted this winter and it will work that as well I am sure What a brilliant system !I did have a garmin handheld on the panel to feed the Av and FF but that is now on the shelf That sounds interesting. Do you have any information on wiring and configuring the AV-30 to input groundspeed, track and distance? Do you need an AV-Link or AV-HSI for these functions? What FF computer is it? Pictures would be fine.
Questions about questions...

+xWell hats off to the skydemon team!!!I made a demo panel with three units running off one BT unit A trig radio, AV-30 and fuel flow computer They all worked perfectly with the radio and autopilot function ticked together The only issue was the trig had old software so didn’t work until this was updated.What a brilliant job by Tim and the team SD just keeps getting better and better !!!Many thanks James Hi James, what functions are controlled in the AV-30 and fuel flow computer by SD?
Regards Michael

They all worked perfectly with the radio and autopilot function ticked together
The only issue was the trig had old software so didn’t work until this was updated.
What a brilliant job by Tim and the team SD just keeps getting better and better !!!
Many thanks James

Hi Michael,
Thank you very much for both answers, this is very helpful!
I was thinking to wire my BT580 to the KRT2 plug, following the diagram for connecting the remote.
Your second suggestion sounds very good and, indeed, clean. Would it be expensive?
My problem now is that my BT580 ls not detected by SD! I am mailing with Support about it.
One of those things, it should detect the device almost immediately, but it does not…
Again, thank you!

+x+xHi Michael,Thank you for your somewhat clinical answer, I appreciate it.I have not used the IRXON BT580 yet, it is on my desk not in my plane (Phoenix MLA)….I had hoped someone has experience with the combi BT580 - KRT2I will connect the right pins, of course, and not just put them on top of each other.The question about power supply for the BT580, I still have, however…Best regards in addition to my somewhat clinical answer, here are some suggestions on how to solve the problem. There are installation instructions for the KRT-2 freely available in various languages. You can find the pin assignment there. Fortunately, these guys have a connection for a remote control prepared. You can use it for your purpose. Look at the Remote Connetor (Pin 13 and 2 are Data and Pin 15/8 are Avonics Power and Pins 1/9 are GND). Now you need a partner connection on the BT580. The manuel depicts this: Signal routing is KTR2/13 to BT580/3, KTR2/2 to BTR580/2. Power routing is KTR2/1 or 9 to BT580/5 for GND.
You shoud use for the signal wires AWG 22 and for the power wires AWG 18. But this is not so important, current is low.
And now it depends! What is your avionics power voltage? The BT need VCC (power) in a range 3 ... 6 V DC. If you have a 5V DC source in your plane, you can use this. Any other case you have to install a voltage regulator (DC-DC drop down) from you avionics bus voltage to the needed 5 V on Pin BT580/9.
Hope this will give you some hints.
Regards Michael
I'm currently thinking about how this could perhaps be done better with the SD BLE for a KTR-2, without the huge BT580 block and without tinkering with cables. You need the smallest possible adapter (dongle) between the KTR-2 and the existing SUB-D plug. I think I could do that. The dongle contains a small BLE module and connects it to the KTR-2. The power supply comes via the existing VCC and GND lines in the connector and is regulated internally. All other cables are laid 1:1 in the connector (shielded). All you have to do is remove the existing connector from the KRT-2 and insert the new module (dongle) in between. Would that be something? Please give me feedback. Just a thought.

+x+xOr maybe more user and installation friendly is IRXON BT578 v3 or BT580, they work with Apple and Android well... Btw, IRXON is plug and play, it is set to 9600baud so every radio, at least Garmin, Trig, KRT2, Funke, all those are 9600 by default and accept NMEA0183 messages, as well as autopilot controllers, also mostly by default 9600bps, so IRXON could be the way to make it as compactible device... Im ready to test Hi Vikino, I have a BT580 and iPad air. SD keeps searching for a Bluetooth device.. I hope you can help! Can we talk off line or email? Thanks, Robert

Has anyone yet managed to wire the Irxon into a Trig TY91?

I will connect the right pins, of course, and not just put them on top of each other.
The question about power supply for the BT580, I still have, however…
Best regards
