Mux, 302, Flarm Core, Dell Streak

Hello all,

Does anyone have any experience using the K6 Mux with a CA 302 and a Flarm Core going into a Dell Streak running XC Soar? Currently have the Flarm Core plugged into the Streak via an IOIO port and works fine, but would really like to get the air data from the 302. Seems like it will work, but its fairly expensive for the Mux and the cables.

Thanks

The IOIO board itself can handle multiple serial input streams. I used a Soartronic (www.soartronic.net) IOIO UART interface board kit and hooked both a 302 (now a CNv) and a PowerFlarm input to it. XCSoar on the Streak talks to both simultaneously. Much easier and less expensive than adding another external mux, as thats what the IOIO board is designed to do.

Dave,

My IOIO board only has one RJ 45 slot. And what about the different baud rates?

Different baud rates are no problem, set for each port in XCSoar. But you need 2 ports on your IOIO device. You might be able to modify yours to take a second input. The basic IOIO design will handle 4 ports, but they might or might not be easily accessible on your board. Or get a new one with a second port. The XCSoar website lists several different options to get data into your Streak ( http://www.xcsoar.org/hardware/ ).
