Hi JJ,

The PowerFLARM is fine for sending data to your SN10. The PowerFLARM's
connector and wiring is identical to a Volkslogger or other "IGC Standard"
devices with RJ45 connectors. The pin-outs of the connector are in the
PowerFLARM manual - which is available on my FLARM web page.

However, the SN10 probably can't provide enough current to power the
PowerFLARM - especially if rechargeable batteries are installed. So be sure
to power it from a source other than the SN10's GPS power outputs.

I don't think I have a good current draw number for the PowerFLARM, but I
heard the number 200 mA recently.

Of course, the PowerFLARM's logger is not yet working and it has not yet
been sent to the IGC for approval yet. Hopefully that will get done this
spring.

Best Regards,

Santa brought me a Power Flarm. I powered it up, converted my ICAO
address from 51201552 to HEX A5036A, Got a GPS lock-on after going
outside and everything seems to work as advertised. Of course, I won't
know for sure until I get close to another aircraft that is on a
collision course with me, will I ?
Some questions:
I have been running my trusty old Model 20 and a Garmin 100 driving
the SN-10, with the addition of Power Flarm, I now have 3 GPS's and 3
data-loggers. Question; Can the GPS signal from the Power Flarm be
used to drive the SN-10? If so, what is the wiring? Also, how do I up-
load and down-loan info into the Power Flarm? The manual doesn't get
around to discussing any of the above. My thought was to eliminate the
Garmin 100 and still have 2 Gps's and 3 data-loggers and save a few
mili-amps, which brings me to my last question; How much current does
this puppy draw?
Cheers,
JJ
