Nano logging issues

Hi Tony,

The higher baud rate won't hurt, but it probably won't make any difference.
There is plenty of time for the Nano to send all its data every second at
4800 baud.

It would be nice if either the SYM or Nano manual mentioned this for
those of us who aren't computer nerds.

Tony,

We are using 19,200. Things should be improved at the higher rate.

Tony, are you sure you have SYM to receive BT/serial from the

yep i had the Oudie set to Serial (COM 4) with standard setting
(4800, N, 1, 1 I think). I actually found that one time when I flew
this year the wind calculations were faster without the external
GPS! Is 4800 an appropriate baud rate? I can crank it up if anyone
thinks it will help.

Tony,

I think it will help. We are have used a GPS16 puck through lxnav v7, and
powerflarm through lxnav v7 - both at 19200 and winds are quick. We
didn't have an external gps for a while and winds took forever and were
often wrong. I'm sure the nano can handle something faster than 4800.

Glen, Yes the Nano goes up to 115,200 which seems high but the Oudie goes
to 256,000 which must be the Baud Rate equivalent of 11? Set at 19,200 on
both, we'll see how it does. I'm tempted to walk around in a drifting circle
tomorrow after work and see if anyone notices...

with the 19,200 baud rate on the Nano and Oudie, I had a believable wind calculation in about 3 turns today. Thanks for the idea. Now if I can just figure out when that Yellow Box is supposed to show up...
