ETA For A Bluetooth/App combo?
So is there an ETA for a BT module and apps for Android and iphone?
I am really hating dragging the laptop to the field. Actually it's more that I can barely see the laptop screen out in the sun that bothers me. I know I could buy the LCD programmer but I have little interest in dropping almost 100 bones just for that. If it had more functionality I might be interested. Maybe a tach or temp gun or battery checker or something. After seeing my buddies vbar bt/app setup in action I must admit to being a little envious. Very slick and makes making adjustments really quick. I need to maximize the little field time I do get.

I would be interested in a Bluetooth option as well. I saw the vbar version in action with real time data stream and was impressed. Ikon now has Bluetooth capability too.

This is our next project, we already have the basic link working. Android is friendlier to develop on, so that version will be first.

redacted.
I guess my Galaxy S4 might be happy about this, but frankly I'm happy with my SK-LCD and really would prefer to keep complexity down inside the FBL controller.

"keep complexity down inside the FBL controller."
The bluetooth is a little dongle that plugs into the LCD port, and is small enough you can just sticky it to the top or side of the gyro itself. |

I've heard that the BT interface to iPhone / iPad is a bear to use for App Dev.
But, I have nothing but i-Devices, so I hope you guys keep trying. |

An optional piece of hardware is perfect. Buy it if you want it! Thanks!

Dang, I am all apple.....
I wonder if an android tablet would work? Could you do the full setup with the Bluetooth? That would be sweet to have a wireless connection for setup and firmware updates, especially on my little 250 pro where the only thing accessible is the LCD port!

Yes, +1 on this option. I just use the LCD, but a wireless connection to the SK720 for making some adjustments or downloading the logs with my iPad / iPhone will be really great.

At this point in my flying with three 720's, a Bluetooth app would be the bee's knees. It would see more use than my GPS (it is awaiting installation in my Jet Ranger fun fly helicopter). I'm very happy to hear this as I just got a new fangled Sony super phone.

It would be great if it could stream live vibe data whilst running on the bench.
