Default FLARM Range

Fun - Exactly!! The marked up config file supplied as an example doesn't actually relate to some of the options in the updated Configuration Tool.

I spent hours at Mifflin trying to get Karl Striedieck's Flarm Core to speak with his FlarmView. Tried bare-bones "default" and multiple other variations, but it never seemed to work completely. Part of the problem was several variables changing at once (Powerflarm software version update, config file update, Flarmview update).

In the V6 dataport manual, it says that anything set to 71 is going to revert to 1 at the next power up.


Apparently that's different for the new v7 Protocol - but I have not seen the new spec. Also apparently the protocol that needs to be used may depend on the device that's connected -- and some devices configure the protocol themselves.

Wheeeee! Fun!
