Frsky BT Android Tablet display

[blitherer]

Does anyone have a link to use Android device to display Frsky DJT and XJT telemetry? I remember using a BT adapter and a RS-232 to TTL converter plugged into the DJTs telemetry display port. Just got an XJT module.

Here's one option for D series telemetry

Funny you should ask. We will have an updated Linker in a couple of weeks and the great new feature will be a bluetooth module that works with IOS or Android apps. This unit exports all of the Smart Port data and for the first time ever gives live mapping of your aircraft when using a GPS in the plane! You can do a lot of other cools things with the data, but the map is the standout IMHO.

Thanks Guys, New & Improved Aps to me. I'll have to look into GPS linking into Telemetry receivers for my radio systems. Wow, that was Quick!

Did you partner with iMSB.ch?

Wow will be excited to see this in action. So far I have not gotten any telemetry set up on my simple wings yet but I am looking to do so for my next wing build. I have always relied on the info via the OSD but I would like to have a way to see info while LOS or while my son is flying since. It is good to have him work on only flying when he is flying.

I'm a novice fixed wing pilot and wanted a buddy box system for my Q7. I purchased the Q7S that claims to have a built in wireless training feature. Will that work with my Q7 as is? Cant find any directions for it online or on You Tube.

If not possible will the new linker (since it has Bluetooth), installed in the old Q7, then link wireless to the new Q7S?

Yes, that is correct.

It can connect the 2 wirelessly, but not via the bluetooth. Bluetooth IMHO is not the best tool for this application, the range is limited and a bit buggy in the real world. With the Linker you can share all 16 channels if needed and low latency for the student. All good stuff. The Linker actually allows for some kind of cool options, but I wont get all techy at this time.

 

[RCdiy]

Yes, that is correct.

I'd like to do a video on it when it ready

 

[Wayne]

Can do.

this App is what i've been looking for. Add bluetooth to my taranis through the serial port, then be able to pull s.port from inav.

After tuning up my old unused Android ver. 2.2.2 phone, I installed the www.hapeweb.com App. FRS Logger, It installed looks like it'll work now as I read that it misses features or just won't install on the newer Android devices like my Kindle. It's got a lot of features like GPS vario, height speed etc. lacking w/ the Frsky Dashboard.

I find it perplexing why FrSky didn't just use the native 2.4 signal for linking two transmitters in the first place - and use Bluetooth for audio -- especially for those with bluetooth hearing aids. From what I've seen (to date) the Bluetooth linking is too slow and has too much lag. The Linker (or similar hack using CPPM receiver) is superior in every way.

I wish they would consult with people they have a relationship with such as Aloft, Painless360, Mike B and many more, before reaching the engineering stage. Focus group. Adding 2.4ghz native receiver module would have been ideal.

Did you focus group the features for feedback?

dude. that is so awesome.

Nope, I had a hair brained idea one morning, and it became the Linker. It did take about 6 months to get to market though as it required hardware and software to make it work.

I also wish FrSky would run things by others before they go to far down a path.
