Hi,

referring to the Android version.

In Device Setup, where it says "Device" there is the driver for the device that can be selected.

But where shall I go to select a BT data source ?
i.e. where can I do the selection of the connection channel (COM, BT, ....) ?

On a smartphone, the BT channel is not assigned to a COM port to choose among.
Where can I find the list of BT paired devices ?

Also: how to make LK read the data coming through BT in a V2 ?

Thanks for your help

Lucas

On Device configuration there is a Bluetooth button. Press this and if there is a BT source it will find it and you can pair. We use a SoarTronic module to connect Flarm to either my V2 or to an Oudie, and the settings for Device A are Name,Generic and Port, BT:Soartronic.
Once set up it all works automatically, when LK8000 is started, it starts BT and connects.

For Android, you must pair the device with your smartphone in the Android bluetooth setup first
Once it is paired you can select it as Port in the device dialog of LK8000. Bluetooth devices are marked with a "BT:" prefix.

Thanks to everyone
Unfortunately there is no BT button in the Device Config window
Nor the "BT...." Appears in the list of devices and comports
I have Android 6
I can see the data flow incoming via BT using a terminal program
Trying with XCSoar, it displays the name of the BT device in the list and I can select it and it work normally

I can post the screenshots, if needed, but believe me, I can't see any BT button or name in the list
(I have made a serial-BT module based on the HC06, with the Bolutek test board, that is tested and works well with other apps, so no problem there)

What version do you have? Are you part of the early beta testers? The new version is only available for a few people.

It works for me, but I am an early beta tester, so don't know if it is different for others. There is no BT button, but paired BT devices are listed, e.g BT:XCTracer

I have the 6.1c0 available in the Play store for download to everyone
Bo: you confirm that there is no BT button
I also would expect to see the name of the paired device in the list
Thanks
