PowerFlarm @ Mifflin

Thanks Paul.

My follow-up question then relates to use with ClearNav. I'd really rather not try to shoehorn something new on my panel if the ClearNav will do the job. Any comments on the ClearNav PF functionality?

Hi Steve,

I look forward to learning more about ClearNav support for PowerFLARM data
from ClearNav in the near future. It is my understanding that the ClearNav
can currently display FLARM traffic. I will have cables on my web site
later today for connecting a PowerFLARM Portable or Brick to the ClearNav's
Nexus board. FLARM very recently published the data output specification
for the output of ADS-B and ModeC/S traffic from the PowerFLARM products.
Therefore, ClearNav should be able to implement software upgrades to support
the display of that data on the ClearNav. I don't know when that will be.

I highly recommend the use of a PowerFLARM remote display mounted as high as
possible on your panel. It is simple, intuitive, urgent and small and it
displays all traffic types. The rectangular version should fit nicely into
most gliders. It can be mounted on the rim of the glare shield cover, or on
a small RAM mount (shown on my web site).

Just stumbled into this product on segelflug.de to interconnect various devices, including PDAs and Android.
Profits support the XCSoar program.

We have developed low-cost electronics to
connect FLARM devices, variometers and
loggers with PDAs and Android phones
running soaring computer software like
XCSoar, Winpilot etc. This is a non-
commercial project of glider pilots and
electronics hobbyists, and the original
idea was to support XCSoar development
team.

For more information please visit our web
page or send email us.

Follow up after another day... of big fur ball thermals... PFlarm
absolutely rocks.

More later, time for a beer.
