nmea port

Post by lusca » Sun Dec 13, 2020 8:29 pm

I want to connect my external tablet with XCSOAR to condor and when I go to SETUP / OPTIONS... in the "NMEA port" box the word "enable" appears pale and I can not select any com port.

Thank for your help
Luca

Appendix 5 of the user manual https://www.condorsoaring.com/manual_en/ describes setting up Condor to an external pda, and XC Soar is specifically covered (using virtual serial ports - links provided). They also have a link you can put in XC Soar with polars of the modeled gliders.

Many thanks, Dan!

I followed the instructions but when I reach N5:
5. Start Condor, go to Setup > Options > NMEA Output and check number of the last existing COM port (e.g. COM4). Exit Condor.

.. I can not check the Enable box (see attached file) and so I can not open the COM port menu

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance
Luca

To enable the checkbox, start and configure XCsoar and/or VSPE!
