I tested it, it seems to work well now, but I too broke a Colibri during development (wrong baud rate). I emailed to the German LX branch, asked them if that (ancient!) firmware bug would ever get fixed, and if the new LX Nano carries the same firmware bug. That question was left unanswered. The answer from Michael Seischab was: "Just don't send wrong data to the Colibri". Given that a slack joint or a wrong baud rate configuration can cause garbage being sent to the Colibri, there is more than just a faulty program that can cause a LX logger to break. A rule that is especially true for LX loggers: use XCSoar at your own risk! It works, but it may break in some rare cases. Avoid buying loggers with buggy firmware that break so easily; put your money where your interest is. (This is not a XCSoar specific problem, this affects all software; I remember breaking a Colibri with (desktop) SeeYou a few years ago) Max ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
