Just a poll to see how many use soarpilot and have an EW logger? I have the details of the protocol to declare tasks on the EW and wonder if it's worth asking...
... I would vote that Mark's time not be spent on unnecessary features to accomodate every possible existing piece of hardware/software that exists. Why not...
Paul, If you have the info please send it to me. Declaring a task to a logger is the one functioin I want to try to support for all loggers in the near term. ...
Doug, As I said in my previous email, while I may not get other logger transfer functions (downloading flight data, sending waypoints and config data to the ...
Re: [soaringpilot] EW Loggers and SoarpilotDoug, Retraction not necessary. I used to think that adding full support for as many of the loggers as possible was...
When I fly I find it difficult to fly well and play with gadgets in the cockpit. This issue is magnified in rough thermals. The Audio variometer is a great...
... Nice indeed. I've been thinking about this too. The audible warnings are very possible to implement with a modern PDA. In Cumulus, we allready use an ...
I do embedded electronics for a living. Making a small module that added button presses to a Nema stream would be trivial. The total parts cost for the board...
... Yes, for me there definitly is. I think you'll also find interest with other PDA-based solutions, like the windows-based and the Linux based devices. I ...
The idea I posted would have: Low power < 20 ma at 12V operates from 6 to 18 . Ability to have 8 buttons. As for software Insert two messages A one shot...
hellow , the firts, excuse for my bad english. Last year , i fly whit a magellan companion and palm Vx whit soaring pilot. The result it's excelent; bad only...
Paul, I like all the concepts alot and would certainly try to support them. At one point below you mentioned using different baud rates. That option will not...
... The concept was as follows: The device would have a serial port listening to the GPS at 4800baud It would then retransmit the data from the GPS to the PDA ...
Paul, Sorry I mis-read the port issue. Yes, that would seem to take care of what Borgelt is seeing. Later! -Mark ... From: pbreed [mailto:Paul@...] ...
... You may need to allow for higher speeds than that, 9600 would be reasonable I think (if possible: both). Output can be faster of course... ... I don't like...
Ok, I had the pb. Lost a 725 km, and that day, photos where bad also. It 's rather hard to build a serial/power interface for the Vx. You should obtain the...
... That will do just fine! ;-) ... OK, seems workable. ... OK, that's no problem at all programming-wise. ... OK, good point. ... Yeah, I know. It was just a...
Hi, i am a new user of SOARINGPILOT and i would like to use it for my flights at the Klixer gliding competition (germany) in May. My question is, if anyone has...

Mark A lot of good theorectical discussion reliant on some hardware. Personally I really got really enthusisatic (as did some of my friends)about the audio...
All, SoaringPilot version 1.8.8 is now final and has been posted to the soaringpilot webpage. In addition, the DOS flight validation program (VALI-XSP.exe)...
I've been reading the posts and am impressed by the amount of collective knowledge on this list. I'm also impressed by the pace of constant improvement in the...
Hi Stephen, well.... the volkslogger is really only what the name suggests: a logger. No final glide function, no moving map, no nothing. You would need to buy...
I suspect there is a very simple answer to this question but I haven't discovered how to delete a flight from the Flight Info screen. Thanks. Dick Rohlf...
I realize the fact that if I go the Volkslogger route I will still want the functions of the PDA with SP. That's why I asked the question about the difference...
Stephen, ... Well, since all glider pilots are friends :-) i guess its just a rule on paper. If you can prove them that you flew a 50km distance by showing...
Today, while mounting my PalmVx/Garmin eTrex combo in the glider I dropped it and it fell about 24 inches to the floor of the glider. Soaring Pilot 1.8.8 was...
