Is anyone using a Nexus 7 (2013) with a bluetooth to RS232 converter to get an autopilot to follow a flight plan? Using something like this
I have have an app to create homebrew IFR approaches that I plan to use to minimums in Hard IFR and want to provide coupled vertical and horizontal guidance to my autopilot. Certified stuff is for sissies, how hard can this be?
Just kidding - I am VFR only and would like to replace my 396 with the big bright screen of the the Nexus 7. All I really need is heading mode, but flight plan mode would be nice.
I have seen links on the web to doing this with Avare - just wondering if anyone here has it working that I could bounce ideas/questions off of.
Thanks!!
