Thanks. Looks like we have already implemented protection against that in the forthcoming 4.1 release.

Can confirm that crash with the AR6201 is indeed fixed in the latest release.

Now the radio Microair M760Q can be controlled from Skydemon.

It is a 25 kHz radio so only x00, x25, x50, and x75 kHz frequencies can be set.
x05, x30, x55, x80 has the same frequencies as those above and are also transferred to the radio. These have a more narrow bandwidth and are more precise but many people still use 25kHz radios for this.

Set Skydemon to "GTR225" and Aviation Companion to "mode 1".

I have made a video to show how to send frequencies from Skydemon to radios via Aviation Companion, and how to connect it:

There's news:

The SkyDemon to Becker AR620X adapter no longer requires an additional power supply.
Simple plug-and-play like the other SD-Link adapters... for ATR833, KRT2, TY91/92 and AV-30.

If you own a Becker AR6201, AR6203, or RT6201 radio and want to easily tune the frequencies from the map, you no longer need to solder — just plug it in.


Cheers!

Hi Michael,

this looks amazing!!!

I just ordered ;-)  If I use it together with the Wifi AV-Link, is it better to have your adapter connected directly to the AV-30 or is it also possible to have it behind the AV-Link? 

I will post my experience as soon as we have it installed.

Thank you for your great work in advance,
Stephan

Stephan,
I would prefer this arrangement. Electrically, the order doesn't matter, but mechanically it provides a bit more stability.
You need more space behind the panel for both adapters - about 50 mm.



If this is a problem, we could also design an angle adapter that saves space and fits tightly against the back wall.
I welcome opinions, suggestions, ideas and criticisms.

But let’s first gain some experience with this design.

Cheers!
Michael

Thank you for the quick response and great support! We will try it out and will come back with our experience :-)

@Michael: The experience with the KRT 2 SD-Link (quality, installation effort, documentation and also pricing) was so great, that I would definitely also buy your AV-30 Adapter as soon as it is available. Do you think it might be possible to use it on top of the AV-Link Wifi-Adapter, which receives our GDL90 Traffic Data Stream? I think AV Link uses a different Pin to transfer the traffic data to the AV-30!?
I did not expect, the all this might be available :-)
Happy Easter,
Stephan

Stephan,
the wait is over. The SD-Link AV-30 adapter is now available. This will turn your uAvionix AV-30 into an HSI displaying the planned SkyDemon legs. The existing AV-Link for the traffic display will continue to function ;-)

It's a simple "plug and play adapter", just plug it in and enjoy the new features.


Here is more information:


Cheers!
Michael
