HP310 and XCSoar

[Jim White[_3_]]

Hi Helpers!

I have my HP314 and have got XCSoar working on it. Can anyone tell me how
to stop the backlight turning off after 30 secs?

Many tx

Jim

JIm,

Shut down the XC Soar Program. In Windows CE Start - settings-
Control Panel- Display - Backlight Uncheck all the boxes.

Now Control Panel - Power - Schemes - Set Battery Power and AC
Power All to Never.

This works on my 310.

Can you give us your opinion of the screen visibility outside will
full direct sun from the rear on your screen? My 310 the map on
SeeYou is basically unreadable.

Tx Richard...sorted. I also found a setting where I could turn the screen
up to full brightness all the time. Have used it in sunlight today and it
seemed fine. I will report back.

I think the xcsoar implementation is pretty good so far. Have upped the
font size for the info boxes and they are really clear in white / colour
on black.

Next power feed then bluetooth connection to my vario! My first idea is to
get another car adaptor for £10 and pull it apart. Any thoughts?
