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 that I have contacted you to make sure about the B800 pinout, which was correct.
I think the winds on the B800 are in a broad agreement with the XCSoar, emphasis on the broad. That is why I wanted to integrate the B800 output in to the XCSoar, so that I have actual airspeed. I am sure I will get back to it and hopefully sort it.
