PowerFlarm Declaration

Is there a way to declare to a portable PowerFlarm or do you just use written declaration with the IGC file?

Modify your flarmcfg.txt file. Use free flarm config tool software -
http://www.segelflug-software.de/prod_flarmcfgtool.html. Change the
waypoint file using the file of your country (most are in the
software). Select your task waypoints. Push button to make a
flarmcfg.txt file on your microSD card. Insert microSD card into your
portable. Power up.

If your desired waypoints aren't in the country waypoint file, you may
have to edit the waypoint.fln file.

You may be able to declare directly from a PDA. I am able to create
declarations in XC Soar, and send to my PowerFLARM Core/Brick via an
IOIO card and android phone.

Either way gets a valid IGC declaration into my PowerFLARM. Easiest/
cheapest is via microSD or USB flarmcfg.txt file.

I believe the European Flarm is different then the US PowerFlarm. Does this work with US version.

It does in Canada with a Brick - same as US. FLARM file is the same
no matter what hardware it is on.

Here's a 500 I declared from Ridge Soaring Gliderport using it from my
flarmconfig.txt file using the software.

Thanks Dan, I'll give it a try.

flarmconfig.txt file using the software.

Have you had your Flarm calibrated to use is for a badge declaration?

It was serviced for a recall just a few months ago and sealed per IGC so I assume it was also calibrated.

Neither of mine is calibrated and one was recently modified under a
recall notice.

It may be ok to calibrate after the event, or calibration may not even
be required. Check the rules for whatever flight you are attempting!

Hi Karl,

FLARM did not calibrate the PowerFLARM units when manufactured. They still
do not calibrate new units before shipment. They don't think many customers
need it. The units were not calibrated during the recall updates.

I can calibrate them here. I ask customers if they want them calibrated
before shipment.

The calibration only needs to be done of you want to use it to validate
badge and record flights or use it in international competitions. It can be
calibrated after the flight for many badge and record flights.

Best Regards,

Paul Remde
Cumulus Soaring, Inc.
