Hi Roger,

If you connect the Oudie to the 302 - the 302 will send not only GPS data,
but also vario data (making the thermal assistant much more useful),
airspeed and wind (the wind being much more accurate - especially when
flying on a ridge or in wave). I highly recommend connecting the Oudie to
the 302.

The connection can be made using the supplied Oudie power/data cable and the
supplied RJ45 to DB-9m adapter. I show how to configure the adapter for use
with the 302 near the bottom of my Naviter web page. The Oudie power/data
cable must be powered with 12V to work. Or you can use a Goddard
Oudie-PS5a-1 cable - which uses the 5V power supply from the 302 to power
both the Oudie and the cable's serial data voltage level converter.

Good Soaring,

I have a very basic question, but I have never found anyone that would
answer it. I have been flying with an Oudie for a year or so. I now have
the opportunity to fly a glider with a Cambridge 302 installed. So my
question is:

What advantage is there to driving the Oudie from the 302 as opposed to
driving the Oudie from its internal GPS?

Thanks in advance,
Roger
