I just did a test on PowerFLARM as a logger:

Set it outside, powered up and waited. Nothing happened for hours. All surrounding trees are still standing.

Those darn FLARM folks have really overpromised! Or maybe I need to change configuration settings? Or handicraft my own antenna? Or read the manual?



I suspect it will need a hard- and software update; maybe if someone can point FLARM to an autonomous chainsaw with serial interface (ideally IGC specification) they could finally deliver what has been promised:

FLARM as a logger.



Timber!

Now, if it could only make coffee...

Most loggers don't start recording an IGC file until you start to move above a certain speed. What did you expect your PF to do in those circumstances?

And did they promise it would be a logger? When I recently bought a PF Core (European version) I did not receive any such promise.
