Sascha, I constructed a double "RS232 Bluetooth Adaptor" + 12-5V Converter and tested it on my last wave flight. http://xcsoar.1045713.n5.nabble.com/file/n5041499/BT0.jpg http://xcsoar.1045713.n5.nabble.com/file/n5041499/BT3.jpg
It is working very well with my Dell Streak, not any problem. I solgered both BT Adapter myself from the set as per your link. It requires SMD solgering of BT module but it is doable (did it for the first time & it worked). I am receiving BT signal from Flarm & LX7000 in parallel and they are being mixed in XcSoar. The solution works very reliable, connectivity is as easy as with a cable. To get 5V I use HTC auto converter 12-5V that I had spare. But you can get something for 3€ on amazon: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B001VICNX2 I was also considering IOIO but decided to go BT: - it is more proved solution (Max has been flying in this configuration for a year) and the only proven for 2 devices - is more flexible - you can attach actually any device with BT, not only Android. I am for example downloading flights with hx4700 & WM6 still. - You can also connect with Laptop via BT to both LX & Flarm - no cable needed - for firmware updates or data loads. - You have signal even if the cable has some problem - it provides only 5V - you can still operate on the battery. BUT: - yes you need a cable anyway - cable is considered more reliable - however I can see that BT works very, very well. Looks like both solution are good. Price for components is similar, I think BT solution is slightly cheaper. Cheers, Tomek Ps. Big thanks to Max and other developers for GREAT Android port! -- View this message in context: http://xcsoar.1045713.n5.nabble.com/Self-built-Bluetooth-Adaptor-vs-IOIO-Android-Board-tp5038159p5041499.html Sent from the xcsoar-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
