Just installed LK8000/Oudie in a friends glider. We connected it to his Swiss Flarm unit & it is receiving data OK - I get "FLARM DETECTED" and Barometric altitude and all the FLARM menus are active.
I can also get the Flarm to re-boot OK from the Flarm menu in LK8000, so I think that means communication is two-way.
However when I try to declare a task it fails with "Unknown Error".
I have configured: Device A as the internal Oudie GPS (Com 1), Generic Device B as the Flarm (Com 4, 19,200bps). Generic
Any ideas what is causing this ? do I need to have Flarm as Device A? Or could it mean that the Flarm is non-IGC ? ...... glider only just purchased with the Flarm already installed.
As far as I know, non-IGC do not allow Task declarations. IGC Flarm use to have "IGC approve" stickers on the housing.
You can also find out if it is a IGC Flarm by watching the serial monitor inside LK8000 device Dialog, restart flarm and look init checks written at the serial monitor. Shuld somehow look like this (IGC + ENL):
I have an IGC (Swiss)Flarm connected to a Kobo Touch which is unable to declare a task to the Flarm. When I change to XCSoar the configuration is able to declare to the Flarm without problems. I believe there is a problem with the current build.
Is it connected directly to the Kobo or is there a vario or something similar mixing NMEA sentences. Of so, this is a known problem already fixed for Version after the 7.0 release: https://github.com/LK8000/LK8000/pull/1182
I have a Swiss Flarm and a KRT2 radio connected to a Kobo Touch with the latest official LK8000 version through a 4-way usb OTG hub. This configuration suffered frequent disconnects (buffer under-runs) until I read a post here which mentioned that cheap hubs automatically fall back to the slowest baud rate. Since I have set both to 9600 baud the system appears stable.....but unable to declare
Yes, should also be solved with the above mentioned fix! However 9k6 for FLARM is not a good idea, FLARM disables the traffic data below 19k2Bd due to limited bandwidth.
