Default 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,

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)?
