Hi Brad,

I offer cables that will allow an RS-232 serial connection between a Tasman
FP10 and V1000 variometer and the iPAQ 310. The 310 only accepts data at
9600 baud or higher, so you'd need a GPS that can output data at 9600 baud
or higher. A BlueTooth connection is also possible, but I recommend the
cable solution.

Best Regards,

Is anyone running XC soar and have it hooked up to an intelligent
vario, such as the Tasman with the Flight Pack module?

I am thinking about upgrading at some point and getting the Tasman/FP
module package and sending the data to my PDA for the various
functions XC soar would use, and was wondering if anyone has done
that, and how it works.

I've got the latest versions of XC soar on the iPAQ 3850 PDA, which I
fly with, and also on an iPAQ 310 that I use while sitting in the
Barkaflier.

I thought I would actually use the iPAQ 310 in the air, but am not
sure yet, especially when considering adding outside vario
info.......there is talk of bluetooth interface to achieve this, but
am not sure I want to go there. Pretty happy with the old PDA for now.

Thanks,
Brad
