Oudie to Cambridge

Hi,

I wonder, is there any chance that you have the pin order backwards. Pin 1
is on the right when connecting to the back of the male connector. It is on
the left when looking at the pins. Make sure you use a magnifying glass and
get the light angle right so you can read the raised pin number markings.

Best Regards,

Paul Remde

Hi,

I show the connections for the RJ45 to DB-9m adapter for use with a

Make sure you set the Oudie to comm port 4 and 4800 baud.

The SeeYou Mobile software can receive GPS and pressure altitude data
from
the GPS-NAV. I don't think it can receive vario or airspeed data sent
through from an L-NAV.

Anyone using an Oudie connected to a Cambridge GPS model 20? I have

few questions.

Dennis

Yes mine is hooked up to a model 20 and s-nav.

What do you need to know?

Pete

Perhaps we can private email...

But in general I am setting up the DB9 serial connect so the Oudie can
talk
to the Cambridge

I would like to see a photo of the pin set up on the male serial that
plugs
into the Cambridge. Also if you are only using 3 pins (Sending
Receiving
and Ground) what do you do with the rest of the wires? Does the plug
only
show 3 pins?

Also how can i tell of the oudie is taking GPS from the cambridge? My
glider
is in storage but i can plug my cambridge in to power it up and I can
take
the three pins and insert them into the Cambridge and plug the mini usb
into
the Oudie. When i do that it is saying it lost GPS signal and is going
to
internal GPS so i am confused.

Thanks ...obviously I don't do electronics well.

Dennis

Paul is spot on. I still have the original Oudie cable that had a DB9
connector instead of the RJ45. That original cable will plug rught into
the DB9 on the back of the Model 20. Thena all you need to do is to
connect the power connectors to the ships power and you are done.

If you have the newer version with the RJ45 then follow Paul's
instructions to wire it up.

To test it you can go to the serial terminal mode under settings/hardware.
Should be 4800baud 8N1

Peter

Peter all...its a bit frustrating as i still get a warning that I lost my
primary GPS signal and going to back up. When i go to hardware i get the
reading 4800 baud N 8 1. Its charging right from my 12 volt. I have tripled
checked my red black and orange pins. Now i haven't clicked them in the
converter yet i am just sticking the pins individually into the 2,3,and5
sockets.
Any other set up stuff i could be missing?

BINGO! I didn't take into consideration that I must be blind - I was off in the pin settings everything looks to be working now.

Thanks!
