Default Nano logging issues

i will do that next flight, thanks! Perhaps it will fix my problem of not getting a Yellow Square too. And btw I must say i'm very thankful you responded. have had questions with multiple weeks worth of observations on Naviter's forum for the last 3 weeks and no response!

It would be nice if either the SYM or Nano manual mentioned this for those of us who aren't computer nerds.

Tony,

We are using 19,200. Things should be improved at the higher rate.

yep i had the Oudie set to Serial (COM 4) with standard setting (4800, N, 1, 1 I think). I actually found that one time when I flew this year the wind calculations were faster without the external GPS! Is 4800 an appropriate baud rate? I can crank it up if anyone thinks it will help.


Tony,

I think it will help. We are have used a GPS16 puck through lxnav v7, and powerflarm through lxnav v7 - both at 19200 and winds are quick. We didn't have an external gps for a while and winds took forever and were often wrong. I'm sure the nano can handle something faster than 4800.
