Hi,

Like everyone else, we were told that the iPAQ 310 did not have a serial

though because it has some idiosyncrasies. *It requires an inline RS-232

is a bummer because it therefore doesn't work with a Cambridge 302 or LX

I have them in stock.

I also have a new cable for use with the Bendix King AV8OR. *I have tested
it with the standard (smaller) AV8OR, but not the new large AV8OR. *The good
news is the AV8OR works at 4800 baud and has the brightest display I have
seen in a PDA/PNA.

Hi

Does anyone have any info on what serial port is connected to the USB on
an
iPAQ 310/312.
I am trying to help setup one with XCsoar and feed in Flarm data as well.
I
have the Flarm data at the correct voltage levels but I can't work out
what
serial port the iPAQ thinks is there.

Ah a trick question? The iPAQ 310 does not have a serial port. It is
USB only device.

You will likely want to use a serial over bluetooth connection to feed
it data. Many pilots are using the K6-Bt bluetooth adapter with the
310.

Thanks guys particularly Paul and Andrej.
