Wifi Connection

 

 
FlySense AoA PRO  creates  a  wifi  network  that is used  to  connect  a smart  mobile  device.  The 
SSID of FlySense AoA PRO wifi  network  is  “FLYSENSE  XXXXXXXXX”  where  X  is  a  unique 
alphanumeric  string. Up to ten (10) smart mobile devices can be simultaneously connected via wifi to 
an FlySense AoA PRO. 
 

  1.4  Compass Calibration

 

 

Before  start  using  your  FlySense AoA PRO,  the device’s  compass should  be calibrated.  This 
only  needs  to  be  done  once.  For  that,  the  FlySense AoA PRO  has  to  be  powered  up  and  the 
EFIS TA   app must be  running  on  a connected (see above) smart mobile  device. Please note that 
compass calibration must be performed with the aircraft in a parking position on the ground, and 
never during a flight. Moreover, this calibration procedure must be performed with the FlySense 
AoA PRO  as close as possible to the final installation position in order to compensate for 
parasitic magnetic fields. The exact steps for compass calibration are outlined below: 

 
 

• 

Power up your device  

• 

Connect  your  smart  mobile  device  (iOS  or  Android)  to  the  FlySense AoA PRO  wifi 

Network (no password needed). 

• 

Start the EFIS TA  app on the smart mobile device. 

• 

Tap on “MENU” button and then “Compass Calib”.  

• 

A notification window will pop up, informing you that the calibration procedure is about 

to  start.  Press  “Start”  to  continue. 

• 

EFIS TA  a p p   will  return  back  to  the  main  screen  and  the  calibration  window, 

indicating  the  calibration  progress  will  appear  (Fig.  4 ) .   Start  rotating  your  device  slowly, 
until  the  indication  on  the  screen  becomes  “Good”  or  “Strong”.  To  easily  achieve  the 
desired  calibration  result,  start  by  rotating  your  device  three  times  around  each  axis  and 
then  perform a sequence of “lazy eight” maneuvers (Fig. 5). 

• 

Press “Close” or wait a few seconds until the calibration window closes automatically.
