Peschges VP 6 --V

Hello
I am still using a VP 6 but it seems to have lost it's separate GPS
receiver which is a dinosaur anyway.
The set seems to still work alright only it does not get any Satelites
to play with etc.
I was wondering whether any body has tried to drive it with a
Volkslogger? The VP 6 supplies its receiver with
12 V I guess, so the VL would have to get its 4.5 volts from somewhere
else, one would make a special cable.
There is also the question about the GPS protokol?

Possibly there is a GPS receiver 12V that one could adapt. I do not
want to go to the Euro market.
Another way would be to find a VP 8 that someone has lying around
collecting dust. That one would hook right in.

Anyone?
Dieter

VolksLogger running 4.5V??
most of your GPS receivers run from the gliders 12V (14V) systems

The Volkslogger manual states the power requirement is 9.5 VDC up to
24 VDC. The protocol is standard NMEA, using a 3 wire serial
connection at 4800 baud. The pin-out for either the round or the RJ-45
connectors used on the Volksloggers is he

If you're handy with a soldering iron and can get your hands on a
Volkslogger, you should be flying in about 30 minutes.

VL with 4800 baud should work.
