LX Mini Map

My understanding is that the LX remote stick communicates on a 485 data Bus. I am not sure that my Dittel radio takes that as an input for the PPT button! Thanks, Bastoune Bastone, The PPT button is in the middle on the LX Remote Stick and is just a momentary switch. I do have both the MiniMap KB-V thad incudes the USD -B new vario with the stepper motor needle and color display. I also have LX1606 with the same vario in stock. http://www.craggyaero.com/lx_navigation1.htm The NANO also in stock will work with the MiniMap KB-V for a complete solution. http://www.craggyaero.com/lx_nav.htm I will ask LX Navigation their impression of how the Stick Controller works with SeeYou PNA. I don't believe the LX Remote has an additional switch available for the SC. Thanks, Richard www.craggyaero.com |

Thanks, Richardwww.craggyaero.com Richard, the USD-B seems to go with the MiniMap, and the temptation is to replace the little add-on knob and button block with the Stick Controller (SC). But the USD-B doesn't have a volume control or any control really, I guess you control it off of the MiniMap somehow, or the SC. Is it clear to you how you would change the volume of the USD-B using an SC, or what exactly do you use? Thanks, Brian |

Thanks, Brian- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Brian, The MiniMap Software has two pages in SeeYou for the control of the Vario. It has a lot of customization options. Download the Manual to see. The LX1606 has a Knob in addition to the software to contol it. One could have a NANO to LX1606 to PDA or ??? Richard www.craggyaero.com |

LX Mini Map
Richard,
the USD-B seems to go with the MiniMap, and the temptation is to replace the little add-on knob and button block with the Stick Controller (SC). *But the USD-B doesn't have a volume control or any control really, I guess you control it off of the MiniMap somehow, or the SC. Is it clear to you how you would change the volume of the USD-B using an SC, or what exactly do you use? Thanks, Brian- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Brian, Looking at the manual on Page 8 will answer your question about volume adjustment from the Stick control http://www.craggyaero.com/User%20Gui...ual%2014_8.pdf "[...]The (vario) unit can be controlled by left/right rotary switch and also by remote control stick. Both units can execute only limited number of commands as follows: · Audio volume adjustment · MC adjustment · Ballast adjustment · Bugs adjustment · Vario filter adjustment The action always starts with pressing of push button of left/right knob or enter of remote. After sequenced pressings above mentioned items will be listed on vario display lower row. Adjustment is made by rotary switch or up/down arrows of remote. The actual value is present on vario display." This seems to indicate that you can control the vario unit on the LX Stick Controller. Richard - Thank you for checking how easy it is to use SeeYou with the Stick Controller. I do get confused by the fact that the LX MiniMap Manual (see link above) keeps showing the MiniMap (without the "KB" Keyboard) connected to the USB-D vario unit and the Stick Controller (see sketch on page 6, paragraph 1.2) . This option does not seem to be offered for sale by LX. The only option seems to be to get the Minimap with the keyboard and vario (KB-V). Can one get a basic Minimap (without KB) and a USB-D vario (and then add a stick controller)? ( |

LX Mini Map
Hi Bastoune,
there is a more recent and slightly complete MiniMap manual at the LX Navigation website download area: http://www.lxnavigation.si/avionics/...al%2016.10.pdf Today I ordered the whole enchilada, for better or for worse. I was not able to separate the components and had to get the little button- block, even though I intend to get the stick controller also at some point. I will be comparing it to the HP 310 solution which I have set up currently, and the USD-B vario to my Borgelt B40, which I like very much. But I am ready for better wind information and I hope this delivers on that, I fly in the winter and I'll let you know how it works, Brian |

LX Mini Map
LX Navigation has discontinued production of the mini-map series and is now focusing on the Zeus family of Linux-based flight computers.
The mini-map is a good product that filled a hole in the market between the PDA era and the new bright colour screen integrated systems like the Zeus, 9000 and Clearnav. Dave Springford www.foxonecorp.com |
