Hi,
Sorry for my absence, but I am back. I already sent email to jaaaaf pointing out possible issue.
I would like to stay away from custom drivers and things like that.
Today it is goflyv4, tomorrow it might be goflyv5, or bluearduinofly v39.
I am not proud of my solution which was done dirty way in my xcsoar build, just to fulfill multiple requests from pilots who needed this asap for competition.
Idea that should work for everybody who loves LK8000 and want to make external devices and not just for my projects is to create "generic notification output protocol". We are wasting time for another custom protocol, which sooner or later might be obsolete.
I sent email before, to use already existing sound files name convention. As we know, there is multiple WAV sound files used by LK8000 and I do not think that this will change anytime soon.
We could use the same file names for string outputs, to play similar sounds on external device.
For example, if lk8000 has to play LK_LANDING.WAV file, let's send at the same moment string with file name over serial output with checksum,for example:
$LK_LANDING.WAV*71

This method will allow to have diversity in external devices, and everybody can handle them anyway they want, but everything will be based on the same notification source.

my two cents
regards
Jarek

OK. Its nice to say that we need it. But who and when will implement it? I have to say that I am not able to do it now during the season :/ sorry. But it would be still nice to have sound alarms in e-reader based instruments...
