Winpilot/SeeYouMob with IPAQ 4150

Hi Jim

You can use a serial to bluetooth converter designed for embedded
applications. simply connecting it to the logger and establishing a BT
connection to the iPaq will solve the problem. Similarly with a 302 the
adaptor goes where the iPaq would have been. You just need to find the right
BT adaptor, pre-program it so that it boots automagically and establishes a
connection to the iPaq.

I hope to put up some pics and process shortly on a website.

Please elaborate on how to use:
* WinPilot on a non-serial iPaq with a Volkslogger
* WinPilot on a non-serial iPaq with a Cambridge 302

Cheers,

Thanks Ian,

I had just decided that I would simplify anything I could to get
reliability up whilst gliding. Also had a weak battery whilst
attempting Gold Badge :-) to remind me how important it is to avoid
being extravagant with power!!

Hopefully the next low cost iPaq will offer serial too in the new
size and weight, or better still back to the 3.8" display!

Cheers,

Jim Kelly
