New Nexus 7 with xc soar.
I have XCSoar on a Nexus 7 talking to Condor over Bluetooth with terrain maps.
(I muddled through this and forgot half the steps, so I can't provide step by step directions.) I was feeling pretty good about this progress, but then I got stuck. Using a program I found on Condor user site, I converted Frank Paynter's demo Condor Flight plans .fpl to .tsk files (the ones from his cross-country Condor book), but the .tsk files do not load to XCSoar on the PC or Android version. I suspect that the conversion program did the wrong thing. |

Internal GPS - is it good enough, does it give good wind calculations? Will it be able to upload igc files from a PNA via Bluetooth? |

Any update on how well the Nexus 7 works with XC Soar?
The tablet is damn fast and works very well with XCSoar. The terrain maps in the background have a quite good resolution and it just looks pretty good on such a high-res screen. Screen in sunlight compared with original Oudie, or Oudie 2? Unfortunately I haven't had enough sunlight yet to be able to comment on that. I suspect it to be somewhere between the two Oudie versions. Internal GPS - is it good enough, does it give good wind calculations? Haven't used it in flight yet, so I can't comment on this either. I usually use my devices in connection with a Flarm via IOIO though, so this won't be relevant for me. Will it be able to upload igc files from a PNA via Bluetooth? Not sure what you mean? If you have any kind of internet connection on the tablet you can upload the IGC files pretty much anywhere you want. If you choose the version with the mobile data antenna, you can even use live tracking via SkyLines for example. |

What I meant by the Bluetooth question - I should probably have said download, not upload. I want to be able to extract igc files from an approved logger, which will be connected to a GliderGuider PNA. Would I be able to use Bluetooth to transfer files into the Nexus from the PNA? |

I don't know, to be honest... It could work but I won't promise anything Why don't you just connect the logger to the Nexus 7? |

If it's any help, I transfer igc files via Bluetooth from my CAI-302 to my
Streak running XCSoar. "Tobias Bieniek" wrote in message ... Thanks for that info. It sounds very good. What I meant by the Bluetooth question - I should probably have said download, not upload.

Dan, can you tell us what setup you are using on the 302 side to make it accessible via Bluetooth? I'd be highly interested in avoiding the serial-to-usb device that is normally necessary to communicate with a 302, together with the cables involved. Herb |

I use a K6BT serial to bluetooth converter. Simply plug it into the serial
port of the 302 and select the K6BT driver in XCSoar with default baud rate. You also have to pair the devices (just once) - on the Android, select Bluetooth, scan, select the K6BT and enter the password which comes with the converter. It was all simple and straight forward and works great. Another pilot on the airport built a similar device from a kit. The K6BT was not cheap, but it was worth it to me to get rid of the hassles of carrying a laptop to get my igc file. wrote in message ...
