Default Condor+SYM/HP310?

Hi Paul,

The iPAQ 310 uses low voltage (3.3v) pseudo RS-232, so you'll need a cable
with an RS-232 voltage level converter. I sell them he
http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/goddard.htm#I310-PS5a-1

I'm also creating a Condor PC cable with 5V wall power plug that would make
it easy to connect a standard PDA cable or cradle to the PC. I have ordered
one for testing.

Also, you need to use a baud rate of 9600 or higher because the iPAQ 310
can't use 4800 baud.

Best Regards,

Anyone out there get this to work properly? I've got my 310 and
computer on the same COM/baud... even got them to connect (COM
connection, not headset). Sorta got it to work with my 3.12
installation (accepted the NMEA stream from Condor and thought it was
in Slovenia...), but corrupted it in the process of trying to get
terrain to work and now I'm trying to get 4.01 to sync. I'm having
some specific problems...

1) although connected, on the same COM/baud, when I run Condor the 310
continues to receive real GPS signals and ignores the Condor feed
(didn't have this problem with 3.12. ...the Condor NMEA output is of
course enabled to the correct port as well)

2) can't use it in portrait mode due to the need to enter an access
code for bluetooth connection. Portrait puts the enter key off the
screen (with both SYM 3.12 and 4.01... it's an HP310 issue) so I can't
complete the bluetooth connection cycle unless in landscape. Changing
orientation req 310 hard reset which also resets bluetooth... Any
workarounds here?

pd. I'm gonna repost this in Condor and Naviter too... just thought
I'd check here as well.
