Hi Rob, I only have a Flarm connected, no vario, the limited info provided by my SN10 makes it not worth to connect. My XCSoar setup sorely misses ASI data but I don't have any way to connect it.
I adjusted the pot to limit the current to 250ma else it can draw over 1A from the flarm which is a bit too much. I am not sure it is a voltage issue as when I test at home I feed 5V and it seems to work fine while the glider provides 12v so if the 12v was weak then the 5v certainly would not work at all. I have updated the firmware to 300, increased voltage a bit, loaded v6.3 and tested on Condor. So far it seems ok, I'll let it track overnight to see. Unfortunately the new firmware does not work with 6.2 anymore but since 6.3 seems quite stable it ain't a big issue.

(e.g. you don't have a smart vario also connected?) If this is the case, then it sounds like an issue with your IOIO connection. Probably you need to adjust the pot voltage knob on the IOIO board to the maximum voltage. Different IOIO boards seem to use different pots, some have no "stop" in them and you don't know where the maximum position is. I would recommend opening your IOIO box, connecting a volt meter to your USB output terminals that powers your device (while your device is connected), and figure out where the pot voltage is the maximum and mark it with a pen and leave it there. I recently had the same problem when I upgrade from a DroidX to the Streak5 which seems to require a higher voltage to maintain the connection with the IOIO. Also, please upgrade to 6.3beta per the instructions in this thread.
