Hello! I just bought a brand new ERA80 vario/computer. I managed to send vario data to LK8000 via blutooth, but I dont understand how to send information from LK to ERA:
- is it possible to set up a waypoint (typically an alternate landing) and have it automatically set as TP on the ERA?
- is it possible to define a task in LK and transfer it on the ERA?
Are there any requirements to enable these kind of functionalities? For example: do I have to enable te very same waypoint file (CUP) on both devices? |

We don't know, because there is no documentation from LX Navigation available. All we have is written on page 43: http://lxnavigation.com/downloads/manuals/Eos/LX-Era-0.9H-user-manual.pdf These does not allow more features than what you already found using the LX16xx driver.
I contacted LX Navigation a year ago for additional informations and parameters and they were pretty much interested but they never responded again. Even if I have a documentation, I need a device for testing and support. So I'm afraid it will never be supported. If the ERA would have another driver compatible command set (e.g. LX-Nav) it would be supported without any change. |

Thank you for your reply, AlphaLima. Anyway, as far as I know, in LK there is only one method to send data regarding a route: this is TASK DECLARING. Is there a way to send a single Waypoint Fly To ? |

Alphalima, I asked LX Navigation Italy to provide you with a ERA unit for a quick driver development. At the moment I'm really disappointed as they sold me this device as if it was already capable of bi-directional integration with LK8000. The reality is completely different: impossible to declare a task, impossible to have ERA to receive the FLY TO a single waypoint (and vice versa)... In addition, I must say there are a lot of other bugs.. Since october they asked me to test 6 firmware updates and every time there are new issues... I'm really pissed off... |

If ERA will not receive LK8000 task declaration or simple FLY-TO decisions, in order to provide guidance on its display, I will try to switch to LX NAV...
LX Navigation devices are not open projects... They are supposed to work not by chance... I'm finding bugs everyday... :( |

Do you have any news? LX Navigation ITALIAN DEALERS appear to be real SMOKE SELLERS... |

Glad I contribute to make this happen... In the meanwhile I decide to switch to LX NAV S100 that is already perfectly working together with LK8000 |
