Hi Peter, > Software. Can XCSoar:- > > talk to the V7 and sync bugs, water, MC etc. What is missing? In general XCSoar is able to talk to all LX devices as long as they don't decide to change the protocol. Since we don't have such a device on our hands yet we can't really tell, but my guess is that it will work. If it doesn't you can ask the manufacturer to supply you or us with the necessary documentation and then we will try our best to make it work.

The Dell Streak 5/Mini is the only device in that category that has one, and it is amazing compared to the old PDAs and other hardware I've seen so far. > IOIO > Could also put an IOIO device between XCSoar and the V7 and add > buttons/switches for things like MC, ballast, bugs, Map zoom etc if XCsoar > supported it. There are people pushing this forward already. As with all good idea: Please create a feature request in our bug tracker if it doesn't exist yet.
