BT Autopilot

[John]

Hello, I've been using the new AvareX and learning the differences. For the most part it is working. I do have a question about the BT autopilot connection. In the original Avare I'm able to drive my AP from the flight plan in Avare, but I can't seem to get this working again in AvareX. Is this implemented in the new AvareX?

Thanks,

John

BT is not implemented in X. Any remaining big features are held back, pending user feedback and stability testing.

What autopilot do you have and how do you interface with it?

I have an Aircraft Automation autopilot (iLevil) that uses my trim tabs. This accepts the serial output from a Bluetooth to Serial port Bolutek BC-04 that I connect to with my tablet running Avare. Works very well.

Happy to share more details if helpful,

I hope the BT autopilot driver can be addressed in the future. This feature in the legacy app has been a major factor in my use of Avare. The Bolutek BT solution is solid and has worked incredibly well. I guess the next question is how long will the legacy app be supported, so I can utilize that BT connection to my AP74?

[Apps4av Support]

Legacy app will be supported for a while with bug fixes but no new features will be added to it.

Is there a future plan to implement an AvareX autopilot driver, if not via BT, then through some other means? If not I will need to invest in a real GPS navigator to hardwire to my Dynon AP. Syncing the GPS with the AvareX flight plan/routing will add an extra preflight step to the process.

I'll add my name to the list of people who would really miss the autopilot data feed via Bluetooth. I use it often with my Dynon D180 autopilot.

I also use this feature along with the USB plug-in for hardwire. Adding this to AvareX would make it more useful to me.

AvareX does not have BT and USB. The only way it can be sent is broadcast on WiFi. I do not know if you can pick it up from WiFi and feed it to your autopilot.

My tablet already uses wifi for connection to ADS-B (EchoUAT), so it seems unlikely that wifi can also be used to feed the autopilot.

[Apps4av Support]

keep using the legacy app. Or if somehow echouat can drive an autopilot. There are products in the market that drive autopilot from wifi like Levil ADSB receiver, and autopilot unit.
