Those wanting to use Android devices with serial inputs can buy an Androport from GliderTools www.glidertools.com Two RS232 inputs to Android. I have been told it all works with a B500 and Flarm so should be no problem with any of our data output varios. Saves messing around with building

I have one of the early examples of the Androport and my experience was less than satisfactory. I would not mind talking to someone with a successful integration of the serial streams. My equipment: B800, Flarm (19200 baud), Androport, Nexus 7 Cheers Paul On 27 February 2014 08:35, Mike

Paul, That is a vague complaint. What exactly didn't happen? Do you have a manual you can send me? Did you try it with another Android device? Mike At 09:17 AM 27/02/2014, you wrote: I have one of the early examples of the Androport and my experience was less than satisfactory. I would

Hi Mike No complaint, just a statement of a fact. My point was that it was not at all straight forward, for me anyway, the documentation for Androport is / was wrong in the way it identifies the match between ports and cable pairs. So at present I have a feed from B800 to the Nexus 7 running the

Thanks Mike, it's amazing how serial com. devices still live on (not that I'm complaining - we still use them in some areas of amateur radio). I followed the link you identified and found this article http://www.xcmag.com/2011/07/gps-versus-barometric-altitude-the-definitive-answer/ from

It wasn't a brilliant decision by the IGC to reverse the pin numbering on RJ connectors. I'm sure you aren't the only person that has been confused. As ever connecting devices together by serial or USB (actually it is still a serial connection) requires the correct wires going to the

Hi Terry, Seems a long winded way of saying what the difference is - the atmosphere expands as the temperature increases. I think GPS with proper modern receivers and good antenna exposure is better than he thinks. I'd say GPS altitude is rarely more than 50 feet out once the receiver has

Hi Mike I could not agree more regarding the pinout standard. However the confusion was not mine, I simply followed the instruction on the glidertool website, which was incorrect at that time. According to Jaromir's latest post on the XCSoar forums, the website has been fixed now. You may recall
