Hi,


I have an ILEC SN10B and tried to connect it with a FLARM device. But
unfortunately, the SN10B always tells me, that it does not get a GPS
signal. Does anyone of you know how I have to cable both devices? In
the end I'd like to use all features of the ILEC, like uploading
tasks
to flarm, etc., but first it would be great if I have a GPS signal.


I already have installed the latest firmware, 2.35.


Thanks for any advice,
Martin

Hi Martin - Many people are using ILEC SN10 v2.35
with FLARM. The FLARM connection is one of the
IGC "standard" connections, same as newer Volksloggers.
If your cable works with a Volkslogger, it should work
with FLARM.


Make *sure* you configure both FLARM and SN10
for communication at 19.2kb (19200) !


(Use the FLARM configuration tool or just edit
the FLARM configuration file on the uSD card...)


Hope that helps,
Best Regards, Dave


PS: Please post the problem you find to help others...


Hi Dave,

thanks for your quick reply. The problem is, that it never worked
before, also not with the Volkslogger, and I'm a newbie to this.

For the cabeling, does that mean that I just have to connect the 2 NMEA
wires of the *ILEC to the FLARM?

Best Regards,
Martin

Yes, per the ILEC SN10 manual:
http://www.ilec-gmbh.com/manuals.htm

Follow the diagram on page 82, just like
your were to hook up a Volkslogger.
Double-check your FLARM has this connector
(classic FLARM does, most do) - first !

Have fun,
