Auto-download direct from the logger would be cool. I probably still have that Palm-V system in one of my junk boxes; make me an offer! See ya, Dave |

emailing your log file from an iPhone

iPhone or iPad running iGlide can post directly to OLC. Remote scorer can get the file from there. It works like a charm. Where does IGC file come from? Iglide? Or some other logger? -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 - "Transponders in Sailplanes - Dec 2014a" also ADS-B, PCAS, Flarm http://soaringsafety.org/prevention/...anes-2014A.pdf |

emailing your log file from an iPhone

These days we're asked to email our log files to the (often remote) scorer, and PC's are, well, so passe. It's a drag running around trying to find somebody with a PC to email the file. And we definitely to NOT want to delay the scoring. Some flight computers can send the log file directly from the plane. Heck, I prototyped this decades back using a PalmV with cell-modem, and people said "That's silly, you're wasting your time, why would anybody want that?". Cell coverage and speeds were really bad back then anyway. What about using a smart phone to email the log? Android users have a few options; Android can read a USB stick. But what about us iPhone users? "Can't be done!" I'm told by pundits, "Get an Android!". But really, at least until January, we get to chose our religion here in USA. But I digress again. For iPhone, I found a device with an iStore app, that has a Lightning connector on one end (recent iPhones) and a USB-A connector on the other end (like a normal USB memory stick). Works like a charm: normal USB side works with PowerFLARM (which I use as my primary logger) and also with ILEC SN10. https://www.amazon.com/HooToo-Lightn.../dp/B019W8N4DU After copying the log from your logger onto the stick, plug the stick into the iPhone, run the special app, then select and email the file from the external storage. QT will be happy. So you will be happy. Some notes: - Always exit app prior unplugging stick from iPhone. Otherwise you get to reboot your iPhone prior using the app again. - Must be formatted FAT32 (as it is shipped) - Do NOT try "iDrive from Omar's" - does not work!!! PS: For Nerds: Unlike Linux, where I can just write a script to deal with a newly-mounted USB device, I'm told iOS needs a registered app matching the USB deviceID. When iOS reads an unregistered USB stick (using a lightning-to-USB cable), it pops an "import" app, which doesn't seem to do anything with unknown filetypes like IGC, or do anything useful with external files that I could find... A detailed explanation from an iOS nerd would be great. No, don't want to jailbreak... |

Dave, Used the Hoo-Too at the New Castle contest to send in my flight logs and it sure was nice to land and just send in the file while standing by the glider. Sure wish I had it in Uvalde this year, would have saved a trip to the motel or other side of the airport. Al Tyler 8H |
