Hi all - I've been using LK8000 a while but was always frustrated at the screens I was using on PDA / PNA etc with regards to sunlight and being unreadable. I've now managed to outsource a PNA with sunlight readable screen that actually works!! I'm in the process to testing battery life and making a few comparisons with my test sample.
I will post the results here against a HX4700 / Garmin 96C / Standard PNA. Should anyone be interested in obtaining one please contact me to discuss. I'd also like to offer two users here a free sample to test and possibly write their reviews too.
More details to follow soon |

Hi Paolo, yes, you are probably right.I did forget about the ability to power supply to devices. Well, I called Cambridge a few weeks ago to ask them to put a Flarm connection in the 302 like the V7 vario. I believe it is a cleanner solution and lots of 302 users like me would love the idea. Thank you very much, Delio |

No idea, you might ask them directly! |

Actually the modern MAX 3232 chips can handle two channels directly so only one power supply is needed...
if I connect two devices via K6Mux, can I declare tasks to both?? |

I believe it is important to show what happens when the sun is ahead of you, because that was the principal problem of old TFT displays: perfectly readable when sun on the back, unreadable when sun in front. |

@FAT ALBERT:
I think you shadowed the display quite a bit in your video... could you perhaps post a few photos from different angles to get a more complete picture of the devices performance!

Hi Paolo, yes I am aware about the K6, but it is just another piece of hardware inside with extra cables attached.It is good that V2 can sort it out with just an extra cable. Tks a lot, Delio |

You dont need two serials to do it, Delio. You need a Mux from K6 for example.
But yes, in that case you can do it because the V2 has two serials and I think a spare more one on bluetooth.
The only problem is the connector for the miniUsb 10 pin which is unusual.
GliderTools may be involved in this. |

Hello Allan, with TWO serials. Does it mean that I could connect it to my 302 and a Flarm together?
Kind Regards,
Delio

As promised, here is an update on the Pixel Qi screen, quite simply it is in a different class to any other technology. The device is a generic Chinese 7" tablet (Atom 1.3ghz, 2gb RAM, 64gb SSD, g-sensor, GPS, 2xUSB, WiFi, Bluetooth, SD card and Quad Band SIM) which has had the Pixel Qi screen retro fitted, it is optically bonded and requires no back light at all in daylight.
The screen is native 1024x600 but supports 1024x768 with a slight distortion, the attached video was shot using 1024x768 since the biggest available LK screen definition is 896x672, hence the border around the LK window. I flew a 200k task this week in a duo discus in order to be able to 'play' with LK :-)
There is no question about it, this technology is by far the best available, it's better than Mirasol because in low ambient light conditions, e.g. inside a building, the back light provides colour depth & contrast indistinguishable from the best conventional LCDs whereas Mirasol screens look 'washed out'. The downside of this device is the price and it's size, it's even bigger than the Kyobo :-(

Nice! I hope this translates into dropping ebay prices soon....
I would definiteley like to try it... the mirasol screen looks quite awesome!

As a matter of interest I see on the Kyobo Korean site that this has been reduced HUGELY in price to 99,000 won (A$85 or 71 euro) - Astounding)

More soon!

Just a question about that 10 pin mini usb port. What is the current rating for that port (amperage). Is it still charging battery on highest brightness and bluetooth enabled ?
