I noticed that in the latest release of Skydemon Powerflarm is integrated. How does this work? I searched the forum but could not find a thread about the latest feature.

Many thanks for the advice, its much clearer now.

I have a GTX330 (S) transponder plus a GNS 430, so if I fit the PowerFlarm unit I can probably link it both to my GNS 430 (hardwire) and to my SkyDemon (Android or IPad mini).

Thanks again.

Hi Hugh,

exactly. The PowerFlarm will (from technical point of view) feed your GNS430 as well as your GTX330 (for ADS-B out). For connection to the GNS it is only a question of approval by technical staff as in German law it is not that precise and could be interpreted in different ways.
If connection to GNS is not allowed you will need to add a further display (e.g. butterfly square display) in case you need to have a backup for the skydemon device.

The connection to your iPad mini is assured by the butterfly connect.

Cheers,
Oliver

The way I understood the Powerflarm user manual, is that the unit will get data with relative altitude/ascent/descent/distance/heading from other Flarm/Powerflarm units and ADS-B. For other aircraft equipped with a transponder, Powerflarm will detect it ONLY when it is interrogated by secondary radar, and then only give relative altitude/ascent/descent/distance - NOT heading information.
