Give LK8000 a peek. Beats XCSoar and TopHat. I really have been impressed by Paulo's guidance of this UI. Unfortunately it is very touch oriented. I prefer to use a remote controller mounted on my control stick. The LK8000 is a little clunky in that configuration. Therefore I use XCSoar, which works well with other control inputs besides touch.

Funny you should say that. I just started building a Bluetooth controller to use with LK8000 next season. What kind of controller do you use with XCSoar?

XCSoar uses whatever controller is provided by the OS (Android, Linux, ...) True, however there are many external controllers that can be interfaced to the OS you mention. Many of the Android devices can support OTG devices like mice and keyboards as well as Bluetooth devices. I've used just about all those combinations. I currently have XCSoar running on an OperVario system. I can plug in a mouse, keyboard, or a custom controller that I can mount on my control column. I have the latter. MB |

Please explain? The OpenVario is available as a kit from Stefan Langer: https://www.stefly.aero/ His site also explains the controller possibilities. This particular version of XCSoar is running on a Linux based CubieBoard 2. When I was running on an Android tablet I used a Bluetooth mouse to interact with the program, but a keyboard would work too. You can check out the whole OpenVario project he http://openvario.org/doku.php There are still several individuals doing development, but not at the pace it used to be. MB |
