+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?

I would be happy to help. I have SD running on iPad Mini 4 and would want to connect to Dynon Skyview touch. Im reasonably competent but would need some guidance re hardware and connection.

That makes life harder, because usually we do not even have access to raw GPS sentences, so we would need to be creating those messages with synthesized information. Please email us through the contact form on our website, and ask for it to be forwarded to me, and we can continue this discussion offline. In due course I'll be able to make a beta available to you for testing purposes.
