Al Plastic is a bit old hat. *I'd expect Jesus to be digitized and to appear on screen as a pop-up at appropriate times - such as below a user defined altitude or on a marginal final glide - and I'd expect to have a choice of prophets and deities for pilots of other faiths - or for those (like me) who can go through a variety of short term religious conversions in the course of a single flight. All you have to do is rub the head of your JPS. The Voodoo version ships with a rubber chicken which you can choke when low.. |

A few questions:
1) Does the JPS work really for finding the way back home? 2) Does it multiplicate the thermals? 3) Does it transform the water ballast into wine ballast ? (this is very important) 4) Is it certified by the Vatican City Aviation? 5) Is it possible to connect it to a Cambridge? Thanks .. Paolo ha scritto nel messaggio ...

The JPS (Jesus Positioning Unit) will be autographed with a Sharpie by yours truely. Al First of all Paolo your work on the LK8000 is fantastic. I think what you have created especially with the latest release is absolutely amazing. Cant wait to see the full release version out. I urge everyone who is interested in reading the manual here. http://www.bware.it/LK8000/LK8000_MANUAL_120.pdf Now in answer to your questions, the JPS unit only works if you trust in its plastic'ness. If you do not feel the force from the JPS then it is not going to give proper direction. The JPS has not been known to affect thermal size or density but if you do find yourself low I found it always helped to rub its head. The water to wine upgrade has not been installed mine as its experimental and does not carry the Vatican VSO. I have used it with Cambridge S-Nav quite extensively and you can see it here pre-take off.. http://web.archive.org/web/200512280...suscockpit.jpg Here you can see the JPS in action http://web.archive.org/web/200512280...JesusPanel.jpg Note it blocks out the S-Nav completely. The JPS is still the original one given to me by an ex-stripper who used to work for me after she found religion. To this day I always carry him in my camelback when flying. You can see the JPS's last recorded on video sighting here. http://silentflight.com/index.php?op...=7&video_id=26 Cheers Al |

Al Al, If you can add FLARM or ADS-B and integrate that with a JPS that speaks up and informs you of the traffic I'll get 2 of them! Would the Goddard cable that powers the iPAQ310 also be able to power the Faux Oudie? Brad |

Would the Goddard cable that powers the iPAQ310 also be able to power the Faux Oudie? Brad The LK8000 software has FLARM integration you can see their test setup on Paolo's website. It is detailed in the manual link I posted earlier in this thread. As far as cabling goes, it's basically a serial to USB converter with power. Cumulus has them "shipping may 15th" I believe or there are a number of raw cables that could be modified easily. I can assemble a package of cable, computer and test NMEA into the device shipping it as a package for you ready to go. If you would like multiple units email me directly to discuss. Cheers Al |
