Calypso AB Mini Ultrasonic Wind Meter

[DocUSMCRetired]

Calypso has integrated into the AB Ecosystem with a miniature Ultrasonic Wind Meter. This is a rechargeable compact (1 7/8th" tall by 1 3/4" wide) device which can be integrated to work along side other AB devices. Once paired with those devices it will feed the data automatically into them as you use them. No need for a phone or 3rd party app once paired.

The Calypso AB Mini features an internal battery with a 6 day battery life, and wireless recharging.

Only the Calypso AB Mini model is compatible with the AB Ecosystem.

Very nice I have to get another I broke my last one

But these are awesome, you can mount on a short rod and get fed wind data

Great update.

 

[PrecisionWerk]

Has anyone successfully paired the LRF and got the reading on the LRF?

Has anyone successfully paired the LRF and got the reading on the LRF?

On which LRF?

 

[PrecisionWerk]

On which LRF?

For the Sig 10K Gen 2, I was able to connect and pair it with the 10KG2 on my phone, but I’m not sure what else needs to be done on the LRF or the app to get it fully functioning. Any tips?

Does the device do the math on the crosswind for a 90deg value?

Did you update it with the Calypso Management App

Does the device do the math on the crosswind for a 90deg value?

The Calypso AB gets pointed north and the range finders have DOF sensors so it can auto-calc the crosswind values.

Has anyone got this to pair and function with the Vector X?

Please reach out to Vectronix directly about this.

 

[PrecisionWerk]

Did you update it with the Calypso Management App

Yeah, I'm not sure if I have the latest firmware either. I couldn't find any firmware update documentation on the website.

 

[JGRJR]

Ok a couple of tips for the connection of the Mini AB to the Vector X. You need both Calypso Insruments apps. Once I installed the apps I restarted my phone.
App 1 Anemotracker Configure & Update
App 2 Anemotracker
The Configure app allows you to update the device firmware. This should be done with the Mini AB on the charging pad.

Once you update the firmware. You then go to the Anemotracker app to connect the Mini AB. Once you have connected the Mini AB you then can search for Rangefinder. I think you need to “bump” your rangefinder to make sure it is awake. Also make sure Bluetooth is enabled on the range finder. This should allow the Anemotracker app to see the Vector X.

For me at this point everything shows it is connected. I do not think it will work since people have said there needs to be an update. At least it shows it is connected.

Firmware is updated with their configuration app.

I would recommend reaching out to Calypso if you are having issues with their app and pairing, as they manage that in house.

Range Finders need to be in AB Elite Mode.

The brief instructions on the package say to place the arrow of the Mini AB into the direction of the wind. You mentioned above that the arrow should face North?

The arrow should face North... if you look in the app, it thinks that is North.

Thank you

Will these feed wind speed and direction into the Kestrel 5700 elite? A lot of people want to know this.

They will not. If you would like to see that feature added please send the suggestion to Nielsen-Kellerman.

 

[brotherdale]

Will this feed data to the AB mobile app?

 

[rlsmith1]

Seems like a really nice add on for night hunters!! Exciting to see MARS and POT on the integrations list

 

[DocUSMCRetired]

Will this feed data to the AB mobile app?

In the future yes.

I have the Sig k3k LRF. Will this device make it so I can range and get data past the AB lite capability?

No, the Calypso is not an Elite device, and does not have an onboard solver.

 

[RS14]

Has anyone had issues with the mini ab not connecting to a Garmin Pro Ballistics watch? If so have you solved it by any chance. Lol

 

[DocUSMCRetired]

I would reach out to calypso on that.

Calypso sent me to AB who advised Garmin is working on an update to solve this issue. Should be out this month

I essentially just shared your email back, and Garmin does have a FW update coming out this month with some stability fixes. Hopefully this works for you.
