Thanks. I appreciate the response. I do. I'll try this method for the range but my use case is random targets in the field. I am not shooting in competitions where I can range in advance to create a target card.
From my perspective, I 'am paying' multiple times for the integration. The same device costs more to be in the "ecosystem". I get it--pay for developers and support. I gladly paid for the ecosystem in the app, the LRF and the mini, thinking they would work together seamlessly. I guess I have a different definition of integration. I think of it as live data integration--not just connection integration. I now know that I can only access data from one device at a time so for me, I really don't gain any value. I can just type in the needed value in probably the same number of clicks as it takes to change device via the menus. It is what I was doing before buying all new devices.
The form factor of the mini is better than my homemade contraption - a weatherflow mounted on a weathervane streaming environmental data to a ten year old solver app. I get the range and inclination from my LRF and type it in. (Or switch devices in ABQ.) I've been using my original setup side by side with my new AB ecosystem setup - with equal results.
I'll continue to use ABQ. I think the constant improvements and direct connection to customers in forums like this are a plus. But I am not buying any new devices for "integration" until the data can simultaneously integrate as well. For my uses, I would have gone down a simpler and cheaper route if I had done my homework better.
