Connecting XC-SOAR

[glidinglover]

Hi,
I have a problem with connection of XCSoar to Condor.

I made a bluetooth COM PORT

Then enabled NMEA output in Condor chosing COM 4 as the same as COM PORT.
And here starts the problem. After chosing my PC as port in XCSoar and CONDOR as driver

hi
Unfortunately my way of XCSoar connection to PC could not help your case.
For Condor, I have XCSoar tablet connect via USB to a notebook port replicator?, which has RS232 and ethernet port in addition to others, to my Condor PC that also use an USB to serial/RS232 adaptor with a null modem cable in between. This physical comm's setup has been working over ten years with numerous XCSoar updates, changed tablet recently from 32bits Linux to 64bits Android (Toughpad FZ-B2 @ end 2022) and also changed PC once back in 2018 for C1 upgrade to C2. Sometimes use USB-OTG connect to xcsoar in Kobo e-reader.
So physical connection maybe less problem than wireless.

cheers

If you are using XCSoar on the same PC as Condor, I don't think the Bluetooth COM port is the solution

I would rather use a COM port emulator like VSPE and create a COM port pair, one port connected to Condor and the other one to XCSoar

Then you should be able to use the Bluetooth dongle with your desktop, or, if it's a laptop already with BT, then even better...
