Default LX Nav Varios, Bluetooth & XCSoar

I understand that within the next week or so the ERA software download
should be updated to 1.4 which appears to be quite a big change from the
Beta 1.0RC5 so might improve the position?

Have you set the proper baud rate and driver in XCSoar?

I'm interested in connecting LX Nav varions (EOS or ERA) to XCSoar

bluetooth.

From the manuals, xcsoar config screens, and old posts here it

looks
like that *should* be possible.
Does anyone have experience doing it?
I've got XCSoar on a couple android phones and a nexxxus 7 tablet.
Simply providing vario data via bluetooth would be the primary need.


Ability to feed flarm or other data would be a bonus.

Thanks!
I have been trying to get Bluetooth connection between an Era80 and

Android devices running XCSOAR. The firmware displayed on the 'info'

screen
is version 1.2 which does not directly equate to the firmware on the LX
NAVIGATION website. (Beta 1.0RC5 and stable 0.9 F).

The manual for the Era80 indicates that in a scan the Era80 will

present as Era XXXXX where XXXXX is the serial number of the device
(available on the info screen). It should then prompt you for the pairing
code (1234).

However the Era80 presents the Bluetooth ID of 'Bluetooth device'.

You
can pair with this, it does NOT ask for a pairing code. However, there is
no communication between the Era80 and XCSOAR.

Not sure that XCSoar supports LX "Navigation" products. LX "Nav" is

supported.
