I have an LX 5000, which I want to interface with a Red Box Flarm.

The LX has four ports (five including the vario display connection)

labelled:

1. Power (wired to battery main switch)
2. Hold (wired to flip switch. No idea what it does!)
3. DataComm (a previous owner had "hot wired" two of its leads into
a

Garmin LX12 cable. No Garmin now fitted)
4. Meter ( RJ 12 6 pin phone type port. Not connected.)

The LX presumably has a built in GPS, but needs an aerial.

The LX is not finding a GPS fix, as there is no aerial. I assume the

Garmin
had been used to give the LX data via the DataComm hot wires.

Now, with no Garmin, I assume the Flarm GPS aerial could do the job.


Question, how to wire it all up. Must be simple for anyone other

an
electronic imbecile like myself.

That doesn't even rise to the level of a concept - more like wishful
thinking.

Which does nothing to answer the original poster's question. Shame on you!

Quite simply, LX5000 and Flarm cannot exchange Spatial Data.

Both the LX5000 and Flarm are IGC Flight Recorders and as such can only
receiver Spatial Data via the antenna.

The dataports can transfer Task Declarations (prior to Take-Off).
They may also output NMEA data, but not receive it.
The LX5000 can control a suitable Radio via a Radio Bridge.
Waypoint and similar files can be received via the dataport.
IGC files can be downloaded.
Dataports have their uses, but receiving Spatial Data is not one of them.

What the poster wants to do is not possible.

Tim.
