I've ordered everything, so now I'm looking at wiring. My plan is to wire an IOIO board with max232 into a box etc to make XCSoar talk to my OZFLARM unit to get GPS and the position of other gliders. I think I have everything under control bar one thing: when wiring between the serial port and the FLARM, do I need the RX and TX pins on the serial cable to connect to the TX/RX pins on the FLARM, or the GPS Out pin? Assuming I am using the extension port on the OZFLARM (ie it is powered through the usual port), I'm assuming I don't need any other wires, except perhaps a ground? I've had a look at http://legalland.free.fr/Tuto.html, and that has confused me somewhat... they seem to have pins 6&7 on the FLARM unit tx/rx data? Perhaps they're FLARM is wired differently? Can anyone help me out by either letting me know, or pointing at where I might find the answers? On a separate note, I also have a CAI GPS-NAV in my glider, which I could potentially wire into XCSoar as well. Can anyone see any reason why this would be useful, or would it just be over complicating things? Thanks to anyone who can help.
