The LXNAV S10 and S100 has internal Bluetooth.

XCSoar may or may not have a driver specific to that device.Â* I use a
CAI-302 driver built in to XCSoar to drive my ClearNav XC vario. They
use the same protocol where it counts.Â* Can't say about the LXNAV.

XCSoar does have a driver for LXNav, although possibly not quite as functional as the C302 driver.

Remember we're talking about NX NAVIGATION, not LXNav, two different protocols. LX Navigation has not been helpful to the XCSoar team and so doen't get much in the way of attention from the developers. I just checked the list of device drivers in XCSoar and there is nothing with the LX Navigation device listed.

On the other hand, every LXNav device I've used works with the software.

What a nice blacklist you have there.

I’m using a Borgelt Bluetooth blade, which combines FLARM and Vario data and sends them combined bluetooth, with Lenovo TAB 7 XCSoar Works very well with a minimum of configuration.
The Borgelt blade can handle up to 3 data sources, combine them and forward on Bluetooth. I carry a stand-alone Sony Z3 as a fully independent back up..

Mike pre configures the devices for the blade when you order.

Hi,

The K6BtMux can also be used to combine FLARM and vario data and send it over Bluetooth.
http://cumulus-soaring.com/k6.htm#K6BtMux

But the K6BtMux is not required when using an LXNAV S100 or similar. The S100 receives the FLARM data and forwards it to the display over Bluetooth, along with vario and airspeed and other data.

Best Regards,

I'm interested in connecting LX Nav varions (EOS or ERA) to XCSoar via bluetooth.

From the manuals, xcsoar config screens, and old posts here it looks like that *should* be possible.
Does anyone have experience doing it?
I've got XCSoar on a couple android phones and a nexxxus 7 tablet.
Simply providing vario data via bluetooth would be the primary need. Ability to feed flarm or other data would be a bonus.

Thanks!


I have been trying to get Bluetooth connection between an Era80 and Android devices running XCSOAR. The firmware displayed on the 'info' screen is version 1.2 which does not directly equate to the firmware on the LX NAVIGATION website. (Beta 1.0RC5 and stable 0.9 F).

The manual for the Era80 indicates that in a scan the Era80 will present as Era XXXXX where XXXXX is the serial number of the device (available on the info screen). It should then prompt you for the pairing code (1234).

However the Era80 presents the Bluetooth ID of 'Bluetooth device'. You can pair with this, it does NOT ask for a pairing code. However, there is no communication between the Era80 and XCSOAR.
