2 - Device enrollement

Requirements

  1. You must have a beta version of SafeSky. The version can be found at the bottom of the preferences page and should be 3.1.0.

  2. You need to insert a SIM card into the aero-tracker and get the APN information, along with the username and password (optional, depending on your network provider — these fields can be left empty).


Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

The current version can only operate using either Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. The final version will support both simultaneously.

  • Configuration Mode: Turn on Bluetooth during setup.
  • GDL90 Output: Activate Wi-Fi when connecting to your favourite navigation software,
    • Exception: SkyDemon supports NMEA over Bluetooth (see example below).

To switch between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, quickly press the power button twice.


Pairing the Aero-Tracker

Before using the aero-tracker, you must pair it with your SafeSky account.

  1. Ensure that there is at least one aircraft configured in the SafeSky App.
  2. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the pairing.


SIM Card Configuration

  1. In the SafeSky App, go to "My Devices" and click "Configure".
  2. Enter the APN (mandatory) and, if needed, the username and password.
  3. After entering the details, click "Restart" to reboot the tracker.


Status Information

  • When you return to "My Devices", you should see diagnostic information, including:
    • LTE connectivity
    • Location and altitude (via internet GPS — ensure you are outdoors for GPS to function properly)

  • You should also see your aircraft displayed in SafeSky:


With these steps completed, your aero-tracker should be fully operational and integrated with SafeSky! 🚀
