DFIS-BT Bluetooth-Data Transfer between FLARM / Volkslogger and PDA Instructions Manual
This module has been developed under practical considerations by glider pilots for glider pilots. The DFIS-BT is the first module that allows the integration of popular “standard components”, for example state-of- the-art PDAs, into the world of the conventional electronics in the gliding environment, without cable by using Bluetooth interface.
The DFIS-BT module comes with the following accessories:
• Manual
• Data cable to connect the DFIS-BT module with the FLARM / Volkslogger (approx. 30-cm length)
An additional accessory that is not included in the package but can be purchased is a combined cable connection of the DFIS-BT module with a PC / laptop and a power supply -by a 9 volt battery.
The DFIS-BT module transfers data between the FLARM / Volkslogger and the PDA, on which the cross-country flight program is running - using a radio connection instead of the traditionally used cable wiring. To this purpose, the Bluetooth Standard is used, which is commonly used in today’s mobile devices like PDAs and mobile phones.
The module is simply connected with the pre-manufactured cable to the FLARM/Volkslogger device. The power supply of the FLARM / Volkslogger powers the Bluetooth module as well. By turning on the FLARM / Volkslogger, the DFIS-BT module is therefore ready for use. All plugs in the DFIS-BT module and the FLARM / Volkslogger are compatible with each other. The connector pin assignment corresponds to the IGC standard which is also used by the FLARM / Volkslogger. To use the DFIS-BT functionality in the double seater, two modules can be concatenated (one after the other). In this configuration, each of the modules sends the FLARM / Volkslogger data to the PDA which is linked to the module via Bluetooth.
