You can already connect FLARM and radios to VFRnav via a Bluetooth interface. Some devices additionally support serial RS232 interfaces, e.g. the SteFly Nav.
Via these interfaces it is possible, for example, to receive traffic data directly via cable from a FLARM as NMEA data and to control the radio directly without a Bluetooth adapter.
Currently, in VFRnav only Bluetooth and network can be selected as interfaces. It would be a great upgrade if the serial interfaces could also be used.
I already had contact last year with SteFly regarding a possible integration of hardware support into VFRnav. In principle we would be happy to do this. However, we need some additional technical information, because the serial interfaces cannot be simulated on the usual Android devices (smartphone/tablet).
At the time we were also offered a demo device, but after that there was no further contact and no device was sent.
If you like, you can contact the manufacturer to ask for appropriate support. Without suitable hardware, implementation on our side is unfortunately not possible.
Ah, I see! So that was you
I remember.
As I said - we’re happy to. But without further information we’re groping in the dark and an implementation attempt makes little sense.
