I've seen both of these in example FLARMCFG files, are they both correct? # configure D-SUB 9 port $PFLAC,S,NMEAOUT2,61 $PFLAC,S,BAUD2,2 and # For brick, turn on output data on DB9 serial port (both GPS and FLARM). # Needed if you want this data ! # Ignored on portable. $pflac,s,nmeaout2,1 Kirk 66

Kirk,

They are correct depending on what you want to set.


$PFLAC,S,NMEAOUT2, 61

Turns on the NMEA output DB9 port 2 and uses Data Port protocol 6 , 1 means it sends sentences GPRMC, GPGGA, GPGSA plus FLARM proprietary sentences (incl. PGRMZ)

$PFLAC,S,Baud2,2

Sets baud rate DB9 port 2 to 19.2K

I use the first set of commands for the Brick.
