ICflyConnect
The ICflyConnect is the bridge from the ICfly bus to Wi-Fi. It brings up an encrypted access point and passes the bus data on to up to three devices over TCP — in both directions, so commands come back as well.
That puts the data of an ICfly Motorbox 912 or a traffic sensor onto the tablet, displayed in Sky-Map, SkyDemon or another suitable app — with no instrument in the panel.
It replaces the discontinued AirConnect from AirAvionics.
