Not exactly an answer to your question, but might be interesting anyway: XCSoar can download valid IGC files from the CAI302. Max |

![]() Do you need that IOIO board for the Android device to get connected to the CAI302? Yes. *And a max3232 or equivalent. *Details herehttp://tinyurl.com/bl5s7o6 At the moment, XCS will d/l 302 flight logs, but it isn't yet a complete replacement for the Cambridge utility. T8 I recently converted to a Dell Streak 5 Android device and I used a RS232/Bluetooth adapter from usconverters.com ($51 with shipping) to connect to the CAI 302. I built a cable to connect the adapter, as both the 302 and the adapter had the same plug gender. It was no big deal, even for an electron challenged guy like me. It was only four wires, and I was able to power the Bluetooth adapter (pin 9) from the 302 power output on either pin 6 or pin 8. So far it works great. I needed to get some help from a couple of people (Mike C & Mike A) to get everything up and running, but I am very happy with it so far. I also have to say that I am very impressed with the screen brightness of the Dell Streak 5 and the power of XC Soar. Total cost for the package was under $300. I am seeing the Streak 5 on ebay for around $200. Battery life is adequate, even at full brightness but I learned that the Streak should be set to "Airplane Mode" so that the cell searching doesn't draw power. I flew 4.5 hours the other day and the battery still showed 46%. Just in case, I installed a 12v to 5v USB plug (soldered two wires to a cigarette lighter charge adapter from Duracell) in my panel. Pretty cool alternative to systems costing hundreds or thousands more. I will be comparing screen brightness to the upgraded Oudie soon. The Craggy Aero Ultimate and ClearNav are much better, but pretty expensive. I am also able to download flight logs from the 302 and upload to the OLC with a WiFi connection. Definitely a big improvement over my old Compaq 1530 and GlideNav II, but there still needs to be a utility app for the Android to replace the Cambridge Utility 257. You can still use a laptop if necessary, but an Android app would be better. MSM |
