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.

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.

Should be no problem. If you aren't interested in making your own IOIO
(i've made a few) you can purchase andrport, a neat little ioio based
device that supports two separate NMEA sources.

With this you will only need to make cable to connect to your model 20
and provide 12v to the androport which will in turn supply 5v and nmea
data to the android device.. I helped a friend set this up and it went
smoothly.

I can't get that site to come up...says its still in development

Can you send me a different link...I am interested!

Thanks
