Powerbox BlueCom adapter
 
1 Attachment(s)
The BlueCom™ adapter provides a means of setting up PowerBox products wirelessly, and of updating the software to the latest version. To use the adapter all you have to do is simply and conveniently download the corresponding App for your Mobilphone or tablet from Google Play, the Apple Appstore or the Windows Store - at no charge! Once you have installed the App on your mobile telephone or tablet, you can plug the BlueCom™ adapter into a PowerBox device. You are then in a position to load the latest update or alter settings. For example, the BlueCom™ adapter enables you to adjust all the various settings available on the iGyro3e* and iGyro1e*conveniently from your mobile phone.

This reaching other parts of the world? Its become a must have item here. Certainly the Gyro tweaking ease is the biggest plus for most.

Yes Dave, just got mine. Finally do not need a PC for update.

Chatty.

Interesting, had a look on my iPhone but was unable to locate the relevant app (of course it could just be that I am technology challenged), any ideas what search parameters I should look under?

Got mine From Morse Aircraft Development while at Kentucky Jets. Check them out on the web -- Jordan can sell you one and help with the setup and programing. Great product and great support.

David I have one of these and a few of the igyro srs w/gps. It looks like it can only provide version updates currently for the srs and not the programming features that it can for the 3e. Correct? Do you know when this ability will come to the srs? I assume it's a App update.

Dave Wilshere 07-16-2015 11:59 PM

PB say that since its menu driven in the screen of the gyro, the SRS was not the priority. The 3e and 1e need this device and updating a PB device is easy-you still set up the PB's in the unit too.
He has said it will get done in an app, but no time frame yet.

I am having trouble getting this to work with my 1e, it finds it and i can update it but i cannot connect to it like i can with the 3e. Any ideas I'm trying to set the 1e so one side is rate/hold and other side off, so i can try it on nose wheel and operate rate switch with gear switch so it doesn't move servo with gear up.

Ditto, same issues.

bigguyplanes 08-21-2015 07:56 PM

Should" BlueCom"not show up on my iPhone settings,Bluetooth,devices ?

Pttcrisp 08-21-2015 10:15 PM

The 1e will work just fine out of the box. This is useful but with any other device like this it comes with a good bucket full of frustration

Dave....question so I have a competition SRS and using the BlueCom adapter I can set up every function on my phone as I would using the onboard screen and switch?

Dave Wilshere 08-31-2015 10:26 AM

Not yet! Its only good for updating the PB units at this time. The original thought for it was the gyro tweaking on the field. They are writing more and more features and it will be possible to do everything you can do on the computer. More info after Jetpower

Powerbox Systems Mobile Terminal
 
I am on Google Play and cannot find the powerbox systems mobile terminal? Any ideas?

BDK74 05-13-2024 11:04 AM

I don’t think it’s supported any more. At least in the US. Had same issue when I went to use one after some time. Luckily I didn’t delete the app, but then I had to get a new phone and no more.

be nice to have it.

They were having issues with the security changes every time Apple or Andriod did an update it would break it so they quit supporting the app.

They have a hand held unit now

Thanks for the info. I bought three of the Mico Match units from Chief Aircraft because it said they could be programmed from an app on our phones. Grrrrr.
