Got my SoftRF, updated firmware OK, and trying to connect it to LK8000.
What is the correct Port number? I have seen both 10110 and 4353 shown?
Do I have to also wi-fi pair my kobo with SoftRF?
Apologies for dumb questions...
later edit:
managed to get it connected using port number 10110, to my android phone LK. My error was a wrong setting for NMEA output in SoftRF (it should be UDP, not as I had it Serial )
I guess I will have to change the password to prevent LK picking up other devices with 12345678 password? :-)
Still struggling though with Kobo...any attempts to join the wi-fi don't work ??? |

Thank you!
I understand first part (i.e. SoftRF wi-fi has no internet connection).
The rest of it is completely foreign lingo to me :-) I am afraid.
Sounds like I will have to get some young person to explain it to me ...
I will try to google tethering and the like ...
At least you have confirmed that it is not me doing something wrong - thank you!
later edit:
I can connect kobo to wi-fi hotspot on my phone using SoftRF-xxxxxx and default password 12345678 no problem (thanks to google search).
Still a bit vague about the next step...
happy experimenting :-) |

Waited for 30 minutes, tried connecting to SoftRF (after happily connecting to tethered hotspot) with no success.
Installed the addon from mobileread forum, with no success.
It's a shame, because I like (and prefer) my kobos... |

Maybe I am doing something wrong?
according to Med50 post:
quote:
...To activate this feature you have to "uncomment" a line in the .addons/.webportal/vhosts.conf configuration file, by opening with wordpad and removing the # symbol...
well... vhosts.conf looks as follows:
quote:
# list of hostnames for the local server (changes require reboot)
webportal
portal
# for intranet wifi without internet (also needs www.msfctncsi.com/ncsi.txt)
# msftncsi.com www.msftncsi.com
Does anybody understand it? and which line am I supposed to un-comment?
Everything I've tried so far didn't work ...

???
Start LK8000
Turn OFF WiFi
restart the Kobo
goto Kobo OS
Connect to the tethered smartphone (with same SSID and Password as the SoftRF)
restart the kobo
Start LK, setup the SoftRF connection
Turn ON WiFi

Start LK8000 - do you mean "start LK8000 on Kobo"? done
Turn OFF WiFi - do you mean on smartphone?done
restart the Kobo - done
goto Kobo OS - done
Connect to the tethered smartphone (with same SSID and Password as the SoftRF) - done
restart the kobo - done
Start LK, setup the SoftRF connection - done
Turn ON WiFi - do you mean on SoftRF or on the smartphone?
just noticed that none of my devices (kobo, phone, and SoftRF) can get any GPS fix, so nothing is working at the moment...
will have to wait until GPS comes on again |

I must be dumb...
How, where? do you turn wi-fi off/on in LK8000 on Kobo?
Do I disable/enable the device? or something else? |

not only dumb, but also blind... :-)
At last! :-)
Managed to get Kobo Clara HD connected to SoftRF, using your procedure.
Thank you for your patience and help!

SoftRF is now connecting reliably to kobo ClaraHD, Flarm is being detected by LK8000, but no traffic is showing on the multimap flarm screen?? despite my glider and others being visible on Glidertracker.
Possibly nothing to do with LK8000? but just in case it is another one of my dumb errors?
Any ideas? |

RTFM!
https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/wiki/Settings
Make sure you are using the NMEA legacy sentences, and...
Glidertracker is not SoftRF!
You will see Traffic arround you (<5km, direct view) only.
msake sure you have a FLARM in reception range?
