Default XC soar data issues

I originally used the serial port of my CAI 302 for power but I
think that exceed the output capability of the 302 so I installed a
car 12v adaptor with a USB charger and a toggle switch to control
charging.* I also used a K6BT for the control/data connection to the
302.* The K6BT is wired directly to my DC bus for its power source.*
I have a friend who uses an IOIO and he's happy with that, so it's
really up to you.



Depending on your computer/recorder, your log file can be downloaded
to your streak to carry home.* Note that the proprietary connector
on the side of the Streak is its weak point and will fail with
multiple connect/disconnect cycles.* To get around that, I've
permanently installed the cable in my streak and I download files to
my smart phone (bluetooth).



Now that I've just installed a ClearNav vario, I can simply pull the
USB stick out of the panel and take it home or next door to the FBO
to upload my flight trace.

I have a dell streak and have downloaded the XC soar software. I am having issues having xc soar recognize the data files like maps airspace and waypoints. I can download these data files directly and I had to use file transfer from my pc.

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong.

Well we are up and running...thanks all. Now how to connect this to battery for power and my lnav?

So with a ioio board i could plug it into my cam model 20 gps and get connected and power from there? That's what i plug my compaq pda with glide nav today.
