I am considering purchasing an Oudie to replace my aging and difficult to see IPAQ H3950. My main flight computer and IGC logger is an LX5000. I also want to utilise Flarm radar using data from my original Swiss Flarm.

Currently after a flight, I use a serial cable to connect my IPAQ to my LX binder round serial port, and using ConnectMe, download the flight to an SD card which I can then transfer to my PC.

Questions:
1. If I installed an Oudie and connected the data wires (I assume Rx, Tx and Ground) to both my Flarm and my LX5000, could I use FLARM radar in flight, and then after flight use ConnectMe and Transfer on my LX5000 to download my flight?

2. If the answer to the above is no, is there a mini-USB to round binder serial cable that I can use to download the IGC files from my LX5000 after flight?

3. I currently use a PC, PC-Binder serial cable and LXe to transfer Airspace, Airports and Waypoints to my LX5000. Can I install and use LXe on the Oudie to transfer Airspace, Airports and Waypoints to my LX5000?

Thanks.

It sounds like I need to wait until I hear that Oudie to Binder serial cables are available.
Then I would have three serial cables for my LX5000!

Binder - DB9 for PC
Binder - flat IPAQ serial (for current IPAQ)
Binder - Oudie connector (for future Oudie)

Hi Rory,

I am looking for the same answer. There was a post on another thread which gave a few of the pin outs on the serial cable here:

My best guess on the way to power the serial cable with 12V (and hopefully then the oudie with 5V) is to add 2 more wires to the DB9 connector from the glider 12V and GND. I just dont know which pins the 12V needs to come in on, and as the cable is quite nicely heat shrinked I don't want to tear it open to look!

Cheers,
Shaun
