Hi,

I am trying to set up my new iLevil SW with my iFly 720 but I am having issues with it.

With the iLevil ON, I am going in my iFly720 to the Setup/WiFi Network Setup screen and I see I am connected to my home network, having proper WiFi Settings and proper IP Settings. Then, I added the "iLevil" and selected it as my other network. The screen options has the "Authentication" as "Open", and the "Encryption" is "Disabled". Then I selected my iLevil network by clicking "Connect" but the iFly does not "Recognize" nor "Authenticate" my iLevil. I know I am doing something wrong but I don't see where my mistake is at.

I can't see any other option on how to do it, so I need please some help and enjoy the AHRS function of my iFly720.

Thanks!

Edgar.

Ed,

Sounds like you are about halfway there. Once you have the Wi-Fi connected. Open the iFly GPS Navigation app and touch MENU -> ABOUT -> CONNECTED DEVICES -> WIRELESS DEVICE... Then select iLevil from the list, make sure you do not select Levil, that is AHRS only. You should see some data details propogate into the window within about 5-10 seconds. Exit and you should be link to the iLevil ADS-B device. This should get your up and running.

Is this the iLevil Sport, SW or AW?

Hi Shane,

Thank you very much for the great help!

Now it is working. My iFly it is receiving WiFi signal from the iLevil, and I have AHRS (Attitude and Heading Reference System).

Before, I was selecting "iLevil AHRS" and obviously that was part of my mistake. Besides that, when (by guessing) I selected the "iLevil" option, the "Connected Devices/ iLevil ADSB Receiver" screen you mention was giving me some readings such as "Status: Not receiving/ Last Nexrad Image: Never/ Pireps received: None/ Metars, Tafs, Winds Received: 0, 0, 0/ TFR's Received: 0/ Traffic reports Updates: 0,1/ Ownship Updates: 0/ Nexrad, Frames: 0, 0/ and heartbeats: 80". So, I though that all those numbers and messages were telling me that I was in the wrong function and I was leaving the screen and selecting the "iLevil AHRS".

By the way, the one I bought is the SW.

Because I am in an enclosed building right now I don't have GPS location and my ADSB Status says that it is Out of Range, but in the morning I'll take it out for full test and most likely it should be ok. Anyway I will post it tomorrow after the tests.

Best regards, and I do appreciate your help!

Edgar

Glad to help. Once you get outside your GPS on the iLevil will get a lock. ADSB data may not start until you get a few hundred feet AGL depending on the location of the nearest tower. That SW is a great device, hope you enjoy it. Have a safe test flight this morning.

Hi Shane,

Just wanted to say thanks and let you know that I did the test this morning and the iLevil with my iFly is working just perfect and as I expected.

Best regards,
