Hi everyone

I am just wondering if it is possible to add my Avionix “ADS-L Tracker” (the black device) to the SafesSky app as an external device? I don’t want to pay the subscription only to possibly find that it wouldn’t work together.

Thanks!

Florian

Did you ever get around to testing it? I received my ADS-L Tracker today, and is quite puzzled by the lack of documentation or even information in general.

Not yet. I have been flying with it, but without connecting it to Safesky. I should be able to test it next Tuesday with Safesky. I paid the subscription now.

Have you been able to configure the device? I can’t find any way to actually set it up. I manage to get it to work in SkyDemon, but this being a out-device, I can’t get myself to bring it in the air without actually setting the correct aircraft ID first.

You can use this app, Avionix Config Tool: [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avionix.avx\_config\_app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avionix.avx_config_app)

I don’t have Android… If that is the only option, I just bought a completely useless product​😬

They also have an OGN Config Tool for your PC, just ask support for it and they will help you out. I had good support so far when I wrote them.

I did a quick test, on the ground, and it doesn’t seem to work in combination with SafeSky.

It took a couple attempts to get rid of the “Address already in use” error. But now I can only get it to work as long as the SafeSky app is in the foreground. As soon as I bring SkyDemon to the front, SafeSky alerts me that it has lost the connection to the GDL90 device (no other way to connect the ADS-L Tracker).

This feels very much like an alpha product, nowhere close to consumer ready.

It works together with Safesky for me, connected to the smartphone and EFB.

I just did another flight and it worked great with Safesky! Let me know if I can help with your setup 😉
