Re: AHRS for Android?

Old thread, but when I tried the stratux with AHRS board, it seemed to work just fine. AHRS board is only, what, $15?

Re: AHRS for Android?

Hi folks. I was wondering if the ability for iFly to directly configure Stratus 3 into Open mode, without the use an iDevice and Horizon Pro has been addressed yet? I know there are other priorities so didn’t know if this had gotten any attention yet.
Thanks

I don't know how this project is coming along, but if you have the Stratus3 and need it set to Open Mode, perhaps you could talk a nearby pilot into loading the Horizon app on their iDevice and switching the Stratus3 to Open Mode. It *should* not need to be set again.

Re: AHRS for Android?

Hi folks,

I contacted Appareo and they confirmed that once set to Open mode, the Stratus 3 *should* stay in that mode despite power cycles. They also indicated that they understand that some EFB programs running on Android (Wing X pro and flightplan go) are able to set the Stratus 3 into Open mode without the use of their Apple only app, but it was just their understanding and could not confirm.

If anyone out there has a Stratus 3, could you please verify that the Stratus 3 remains in open mode through power cycles? I haven’t purchased a Stratus 3 yet because I was waiting to know for sure that I’ll be able to use it with my Android. But I see the new device from Levil (Astro Link) is coming out soon and wonder how it will compare to the Stratus 3.

Thanks,
Jim
