Unfortunately it only works with Android platforms. I set up a demo device and ran it. I used a serial logger to validate the NMEA sentences were flowing. I did not put in the plane as I did not want to pull the panel apart for testing. I had no issues with connections dropping on either side.

Yes it is pin 2

That is a new one for me in FL.

I still maintain my FF account mainly for IFR flying. Would love to get rid of it and hoping that iFly can get to parity on the IFR side. I find the FF web app is useful for downloading track logs to upload into MyFlightbook. I use my iPad for pretty much everything else related to FF. It is...

That does not work either. It is a known bug. AP is working on a fix and has half of it tackled already.

This functionality is broke with Apple if @tbouchertx is an apple user. Specifically step 6. iOS does not recognize iFlyEFB being associated with any file types.

@Cobra that is where I was going as well. I wanted to see if the iPad connected to the Wifi SSID of the stratus. Rules out the iPad first. There are a few security changes that came out in iOS in 17.7 as well as 18. If it connected then there is one additional security option between iOS and...

I just tested and it worked for me. Are you showing that the iPad is connected to the stratus wifi?

Feature request. Move the airmet/sigmet toggle to a map mode setting as opposed to the box. My issue is the box is in the way if you want to keep the airmet/sigmets visible while flying. I know you can move it but on smaller devices it takes up too much realestate.

Yes, but a specific nit level is not what really matters. It is like throwing out engine sizes to gauge how fast your car will go. We use devices that as low as 700 nits in direct sunlight in Florida. It is more about the contrast and the reflectivity of the surface of the screen. So much...

There are a bunch of manufactures that make them with serial ports standard, others provide docks, some have expansion cards. I have dozen or so different ones in my office. Zebra, Kcosit are some that stock them $200-400. There are others that are in the $1k+ that are not worth considering...

So based on that, if my android tablet has a physical serial port will I be able to drive the auto pilot from it?

Does the new iFly tablet run android with the standard EFB software or is it a custom build?

one caveat, in the current iOS version there is a bug that is preventing it from working. @Brian is aware and it is on the list for post Airventure.

I know this has been asked a few times. I was doing some engineering at work and ran across the answer. Hopefully this will help someone next time. The 740 series uses a 4 Prong Richter Male Adapter to mount to the back. If you are looking to replace your mount there are a bunch of options...
