Looks the same problem...same baud rate in and out. Jim |

Jim The following would solve the problem: http://serialgadget.com/index.php You can use it to take the 4800 baud signal from the slow devices and feed it out at 9600 or 19200 etc. Not the cheapest little gadget but does the job. The spec on the web says it requires 5V but a friend of mine has one which they made up for him which takes 8-16V as input. He uses it in his glider to upscale a Colibri output from 4800 to 19200 to feed to his Ipaq so he can switch between the Colibri and Flarm NMEA streams as the Flarm only outputs the extra flarm data at 19200 or higher.

Nick Hill On the HP31x, it turns out that the usb cable is a 5 (not 4) wire cable. If you ground the 5th wire, it turns the usb port into a TTL level serial port. Combining this with a level converter and a baud rate converter should let the 31x talk to 4800 baud devices (assuming you don't overrun the buffer in the baud rate converter). And then there is the issue of the software on the 31x making assumptions about what baud rates various devices (SN10, CAI 10/20/25 etc) can communicate at. Working on the problem with all the necessary parts. Standby. |

Good try. Serial cable still preferred if someone knows the spec. Jim |
