David, you can power the 310 and get serial data through at the same time. There are several boxes available on the market that help you with this, e.g. this one combined with this cable . I just sold mine and it worked fine. You can also build one from the car charger plug that came with it a

2011-08-29 Thread David Reitter
I've been playing with the idea of getting better air data from a new vario into XCSoar, which I run on an iPAQ 310. The iPAQ comes with a serial port built in to USB (USB is a serial protocol anyway), which can be used with a voltage level converter (a $6 part from Hong Kong). Does anyone kno

Any chance to make this accessible to other online XCSOAR pilots in their glider? I am thinking of a FLARM style radar to show thermal information of nearby gliders, but on a wider scale and perhaps a memory function (known thermals, last 30 minutes or similar). (could be delayed by a user con
