AB Quantum Major Update 3.3 + Calypso AB Mini

thank you. Is there a projected release date for that unit? I bought both units last week and am hoping that there will be support for the Weatherdot
Only the All in One will feature AB Ecosystem comms, the weatherdot does not. I do not believe it will be incorporated as the Mini All In One will feature the necessary to do this. We do not know when Calypso plans to release it at this time.
 
I had just emailed Vectronix support about this, and got this response: "We will connect with the AB Quantum app in approx. two-three weeks. This also means that we will then also connect to the Calypso Ultrasonic mini AB."
Does this mean you'll need to have AB Quantum in the mix each time you want to use your vectors with a mini, or is it a one time initial pair thing?

You will need to use AB Quantum to pair the Calypso AB Mini to any range finder. Once paired, you do not need to open ABQ except to move the Calypso to a new device, or remove its pairing to an LRF. Once the Calypso is paired to an LRF you will need to clear that pairing if you want to use it with the App etc. Then pair it back as needed.

Why not use LRFs or wind sensors as peripherals? They can stream data to ABQ, with ABQ acting as the solver. This enables live wind dope and avoids Bluetooth compatibility issues—as long as they connect to ABQ, we’re good.

I am not sure I understand what you are getting at? You can use an LRF or Calypso AB Mini as a peripheral to AB Quantum. The question I was answering is that you do not need the app running to keep the Calypso AB Mini paired to an LRF (where compatible).

Thanks for the reply! Just to clarify—I’m looking to use ABQ as the solver, with live wind data streaming into it. My concern is that if the wind sensor is paired directly to an LRF, it might not be able to stream data to ABQ. That’s why I’m asking if it’s better to have both the LRF and wind sensor connect directly to ABQ. Does that make sense?
 
With a Garmin, either watch or Fortrex, you can have a Kestrel and an LRF paired at the same time. AB Q seems to only allow pairing one thing at a time. So you would have to connect the LRF and get your ranges, put that into your target cards and then connect the Calypso to stream the environmentals.

The only 1 thing at a time is a HUGE limitation of AB Q in my opinion. It's built on a phone, that can have multiple bluetooth connections. I see no reason why AB Q cannot do the same thing. I get that way back when AB was first created, a range finder and a kestrel were the only real things that could use the system, but times and technology have changed drastically.
