Oudie wiring to SN10

@Andy: I saw a large difference before and after connecting the SN10,
that's good enough for me.

One of the things I checked after connecting the SN10 was the data
stream using SYM's terminal feature. Observed all the normal NMEA
sentences plus the SN10's $PILC sentences.

Andres will have to answer to whether/how the Oudie's GPS is optimized
for aviation, it's immaterial at this point.

Hi Bill,

Be sure your SN10 has the latest software. *Also, in SeeYou Mobile, go to
the Hardware screen and select SN10 as the hardware type.

Hi Dan,

The advantage to connecting the Oudie to the SN10 is that the SN10
(assuming
it has somewhat current software) can send vario and wind data to the
Oudie.
The Oudie's "Thermal Assistant" really only works well with real-time
vario
data. And since the SN10 has airspeed sensors and GPS data, it can
calculate accurate wind speed and direction when cruising - not just when
circling as the Oudie can do with GPS data alone. Being able to calculate
the wind while cruising is very important when ridge or wave flying.

If you also connect the Oudie to the VL, then you can have the Oudie send
official task declarations to the VL and you can download secure flight
logs
from the VL.

Hi Ted,

The Oudie's power/data cable is supplied with an RJ45 to DB-9m adapter
which
can be configured for connection to our standard Goddard SN10/PDA wiring
harnesses. I would setup the adapter exactly the same as if it was being
connected to a Cambridge 302 or Goddard PS-5a power converter. You can
see
the connections for that

I sell standard wiring harnesses for the SN10 for several GPS types -
with
PDA connections.http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/goddard.htm

If you want to modify your existing wiring harness, you'll need the SN10
manual - which is available hehttp://www.ilec-gmbh.com/manuals.htm

Later today or tomorrow I'm going to be searching the 'Net for a how-
to on this, but until then if anyone has a link to help with, I'll
check here first.

Advance thanks

what are the advantages to conneting an SN-10b to an Oudie?
I have both but kept my Volkslogger connected to the SN-10b and run
the Oudie by itself, just replaced the iPAQ.
It was very easy to pick up the power for the Oudie from the VL power
source.
Can't wait to use the Oudie in my glider, it works great in my
powerplane.

I have not had good luck getting the SN-10 data working in the Oudie.
I get the GPS data from the SN-10 just fine. *Has anyone else had
success getting the wind and vario data working properly in the Oudie
with SYM?

I do have the latest software and I have selected SN-10 as the
hardware type. When I do this, the flight statistics page showing the
last four climbs is never correct. It doesn't matter how I have this
hardware setting. When I switch back to receiving a direct feed from
the Colibri (or the Flarm I was using last summer), the flight
statistics page is better but still not correct.

I am not convinced that the SN-10 and SYM are sending/receiving what
they expect. Have spoken to both Nadler and Andrej about this but
neither seem to understand there is a problem.

The reason I am asking RAS folks is to find out if I am the only one
having a problem or if other are too.

Bill: I'll check this on my combination next time I fly.

On your SYM, when you use the terminal feature while connected to the
SN10, do you see $PILC sentences? Definitely check for that first.

Good question wrt the GPS quality. How is a receiver optimized for

But I do think the air data makes a huge difference in wind and
glide
calculations. Without it, SYM and the SN10 provided varying answers
on
the steering to target; with the airdata, they always matched.

I'd be convinced if you disabled the SN10 GPS feed and saw the same
results. Or are you saying the SN-10 is feeding only airdata to the
Oudie and not GPS position data.

PNA GPS receivers are typically optimized for car navigation. =A0One
result is that they like to say they are going straight even if the
host vehicle is turning. =A0Ok it's not the GPS receiver itself but
the
associated data processing and in some devices, such as the HP310, no
one has yet found a way to hack it so it works properly.

Andy,

I've been told, and I hope it's correct, that sending a GPS signal to
the 310 will give better results. I will be using a Powerflarm to send
the 310 data and by-pass the internal GPS. It is a simple setting in
the LK8000 software for a com port and baud rate setting.

Brad


There is quite a lot about the iPAQ 31* series problem on the LK8000
forum. The internal gps is almost useless for gliding. I use a Holux bt
gps with mine as Device A, and if it ever loses that, it never has, it
will default to Device B, the internal.
Been trying for some time to connect the SN10B to the iPAQ 314, as soon as
one problem is solved, another raises it's head, but I think I know what
to do now thanks to Dave N and Paul R.
