Hi all, there has been a lot of discussions about this, but never resulted in any way.
Is it possible, somehow, to get out from SkyDemon over bluetooth to RS232 converter some data?
From my current Aera 760 i have over serial port connected autopilot and Trig radio so Aera can feed AP with planned track and when i click on airfields com freq it sets stand by freq. But, it is Garmin and their weird navigation point stupid names, airfields without names and so on...

This will be nice to have on SkyDemon, are there some possibilities?

Well, I installed the beautiful SDLink on to the back of my KRT2 and it left me with an instant grin as a tap on SD resulted in a frequency and station name appearing on the radio display before I'd even taken my finger off the screen!!!
Very happy.  A lovely time, space, and wire-saving product.

Next step was to take a feed from the existing RS232 line out of the back of the original connector, and hook it up to my autopilot, a TruTrak Digiflight II.  This was not so easy!  Wires to be cut, spliced etc, all behind a panel.

And it doesn't want to play.  The AP keeps reporting "NO GPS".  The baud rate is 9600 (fixed by the KRT2 spec).  Also tried 4800 too, still doesn't like it.  So I delved deeper and  pluged in a serial port adapter in to my laptop, hit up terminal, and attempted to capture the output to see what was being sent through.  To run this test, I set SD to only send autopilot messages, just in case the A/P was throwing out the radio frequency messages.

All I get is:

$GPGLL,5230.8752,N
$GPBOD,94.6,T,94.5
$GPBWC,151315,5240
$GPVTG,243.9,T,243
$GPXTE,A,A,9.99,L,
$GPAPB,A,A,9.99,L,
$GPRMB,A,9.99,L,EG
$GPGGA,151325,5230
$GPGSA,A,3,,,,,,,,

The first sentance is definately not to spec.  Should start with the date, let alone be missing everything after the latitute!
Can anyone shed any light on this?
