I have been running WinPilot fed by a a Borgelt B50 and a Volkslogger for years. I tried to switch over to a Avier/ Vertica. I got the Winpilot 12 version for the Avier from the Winpilot site. Got the Password from Jerry P. I have changed the cable and hooked the 5V power wires correctly and have TX and RX wires hooked up to Com 7 of the Avier. I am powering the Avier correctly and the Avier is getting the GPS data but the program says it is not getting the B50 Vario data. I tried flipping the TX and RX wires to no avail.



The Avier "Settings" are System, External GPS, Programs (GPS Program Port: COM1),Hardware (GPS hardware port: COM7 Baud Rate 4800)



In Winpilot the COM POrt is 7



I know the B50 Vario data is there because when I switch cables and hook up the Ipaq, it works perfectly.



Any help would be appreciated.

I just went through the same exercise. Got very helpful response from Lawrence at Vertica and from Vladimir at Glider Tools.
These are the settings they advised to use;
in the Aviar/Vertica go start-settings-system-external gps-programs set to com4-
hardware set to gps hardware port; set to(none)baud rate set 19200 (or 4800)
In WinPilot PRO (or other software) set to com7 (in my case using a CAI302 set to baud 4800)in menu com ports.
In addition I also received a faulty connector cable from Wings and Wheels and went through a bunch of frustration until through process of elimination I ordered an other cable and than all worked just fine.
