LX Adapter Cable

[Dan Marotta]

My new (to me) Stemme has an LS7007 Pro IGC installed but no data bases
loaded. I see a 5-pin DIN connector on the panel near the control head
but no cable came with the aircraft. Does anyone out there have a spare
that they would like to sell or donate to the cause?

If you made a typo and you actually have an LX7007 then you do not need a cable. Files are loaded on an SD card.

Probably not the Stemme, but, if I still have my LAK-17a I'll probably
bring that just to enjoy the camaraderie, the bon fire, and the pot luck
dinner. Not to mention the howling good time with the ground launches!

It was a typo. It's an LX-7007 Pro IGC. I didn't see any obvious card
reader slot but there is a 5-pin DIN connector (male pins) on the panel
next to the computer. If there's a card reader that plugs in to that
connector, I guess I need to find one since I haven't found one in the
ship. I've asked the previous owner (a corporation in Mexico) to look
for the box that the computer came in (not originally in the glider when
new) and send it to me.

Go to.... http://www.lxnavigation.com/manuals/ , about 2/3 of the way down is the manual for your unit.
It also states that all units shipped AFTER September 2006 have the SD card slot, is your's does not have one it's an "easy upgrade".

They also state that a "PC compatible comm cable" is available in any PC store.

Late in the manual (~pg 100) they go over various connections for PC, PDA & SD card.

Hope this helps.

There is a remote chance I might have the cable you need. I'll check tonight. I sold my LX7007 and never installed that connector (since it had the SD slot) so it may be in my garage.

[Dan Marotta]

Thanks Charlie,

I've been in the manual and have been looking online for the cable. I'll
give a call to Craggy, Wings, or Cumulus. My unit does not have a built
in card slot, but a 5-pin DIN connector on the panel.

Dan, I have one I can loan you.

Hi Dan,

I have the required cable in stock here:
http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/lxnav.htm#LXNAV-LX5-PC

You may also need a USB to serial adapter like this one:
http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/ftdichip.htm

I can also help you generate a current airspace file for the unit for your region – it is not easy.

Best Regards,

Paul Remde

I have got one that I can happily donate for the price of postage.

[Dan Marotta]

PM Sent.

Is this a cable with simply a connector on each end or a card reader?
I'll need to know if I need to find other bits and pieces.

Hi Dan, typically it is a DB9 to 5pin DIN serial cable. You will still
need a USB-Serial adapter for your laptop.

[Dan Marotta]

Thanks. I've got the USB to Serial adapter for tuning my Harley.

Admittedly, I've got to read the LX manual more thoroughly to see
exactly what I need and what I need to do. I've currently been told
that I need a "card reader" which, given the vintage of the 7007, I
assume will accept a full size SD card. I've also been told that I need
a serial cable with a DIN connector which I assume would be used to
connect my laptop to the 7007. Is it safe to assume that either will
work, i.e., load the 7007 directly from my laptop or copy the files to
an SD card and load it that way? It would seem that the card reader
would be the better option since I could then pull igc files from the
computer to post on OLC.

Unfortunately most of my time right now is occupied with getting my
Stemme registered, inspected, and cleared through US Customs. I'll post
the whole story once it's concluded.
