Default XCSoar With LNAV?

I have XCSoar running on a Dell Streak 5 and wanted to look into connecting to the L-Nav in my glider. I have an IOIO board, but I believe the real problem is that the L-Nav doesn't use the same protocol as the 302. XCSoar essentially doesn't have the right driver for the L-Nav and so far none of the developers have a need to configure a driver for the L-Nav or the hardware to actually do it.

I suspect there are many potential users of that configuration, but it will take a user with the drive and the skillset to augment the XCSoar code with the necessary pieces to support the L-Nav.

Hans has some useful info on his website about connecting GPS data to an L-Nav.

any place to plug in the serial to Bluetooth device without unplugging

something else. Maybe the GPS control head...

Can their Androids be interfaced to the LNAV via K6-BT or IOIO?




I have never used any of these products, but usually K6Bt and IOIO works


just like a cable would.
