I just did a test on PowerFLARM as a logger:

Set it outside, powered up and waited. Nothing happened for hours. All surrounding trees are still standing.

Those darn FLARM folks have really overpromised! Or maybe I need to change configuration settings? Or handicraft my own antenna? Or read the manual?

I suspect it will need a hard- and software update; maybe if someone can point FLARM to an autonomous chainsaw with serial interface (ideally IGC specification) they could finally deliver what has been promised:

FLARM as a logger.

Timber!

And did they promise it would be a logger? When I recently bought a PF Core (European version) I did not receive any such promise.

I think the Joke only works in English, a sure sign that Urs has been with us too long ;^)

Uh oh a Monty Python sense of humor. Now I'm more interested in looking for hidden Monty Python easter eggs in the UI than I am with waiting for IGC approval.
