For those of you who have a Borgelt B50 and have had
trouble getting it to talk to XCSoar on a PDA:

I've got mine working fine with the following setup - 

Flarm connected to serial port of PDA providing GPS &
flarm data(Generic, 19200 baudrate).

B50 connected via a bluetooth/serial adaptor
providing airspeed, climb/sink etc (Borgelt B,4800
baudrate).

This is the bluetooth adaptor I'm using:

The only problem with this one is it runs at 6 volts
so needs a voltage regulator ($1.20 at Dick Smiths)
connected. It also needs to be configured from a PC
to get 4800 baudrate. There are a few different
brands of these available.

Cheers,

Greg.
