Anothe HUD but with it all one unit. Thinking this could just sit on top of the panel?

We can't be too far from something for everyone right? Dynon?

That is wicked cool. Major potential. If the FAA had made ADBS this sexy we'd be eating outta their hands......but I digress.

Android "stick" Computer

I recall the attendant at the GRT booth mentioning this possibility as well; however, I currently don't see this functionality mentioned anywhere in the description of the newest wireless Hudly:

Incidentally, I did pledge at the $199 ($209 shipped) level on Kickstarter to receive the new version of Hudly in March. Worst case is it doesn't cooperate with Android/GRT and I put it in the car.

That being said, the GRT documentation does specifically detail the option of using an Android "stick" computer that could be had for less than $100 thereby negating the need for a handset. With a little configuring the GRT HUD app would launch on power-up, and permit stowing the stick out of sight. I found this one on Amazon:

I'm building a Panther (gasp!) and plan to install the GRT-Mini + Hudly if for no other reason than to keep my head out of the cockpit.

Wow! Would this talk to an iPad with FF and syn vis? If so, it would seem to be an incredible safety tool. The iPhone version of FF is a little more limited but still would be a significant addition, I would think.

You say that the worst thing that could happen would be that you'd put it in your car but is there any assurance that it will actually be delivered?

Thanks,
John

Worst case...
 
When you back the Kickstart for the nextgen Hudly in the link provided in my previous post, they indicate that credit cards aren't charged until the unit ships. Also, based on the following link the new unit does appear to be wirelessly compatible with IOS mirroring:

I signed up. We'll see! I am comforted that they have a primary audience in the auto industry-more volume and influence than aviation alone.

Thanks.

Thanks for the link, Brian. At that discounted price point I am ready to play with this now, having missed a HUD for a long time.

Now if someone could just come up with a nice experimental RADALT . . .

can't find it now, but I believe someone has been testing one...

I was encouraged that GRT has said that they will support the wireless Hudly, so I also signed up for the kickstarter.

GRT Avionics to support Hudly Wireless Heads-Up Display
The latest Heads-Up Display by Hudly, the Hudly Wireless, will be directly supported by GRT Avionics. Our approach to driving after-market Heads-Up Displays(HUD) allows for full functionality of this HUD as well as display optimization using existing user settings. We will evaluate this display when it becomes available for possible optimizations and recommendations to our customers.

Thanks Mickey; I'm not sure how I missed that! GRT Mini and Hudly it is for me!

Sam Staton 12-30-2017 06:55 AM

Me too!
 
A wireless Hudly for me too! Dynon? Are you paying attention?

Nice. Would this plug into the USB port on the GRT EFIS for power or would you need a separate usb connected to ship?s power?

Seriously considering signing up for the Kickstarter. This stuff is way too cool.
