6.2.2.2 Setting up the LX 10k
To set up LX 10k NMEA communication, needed for the proper functioning of XC Soar, go to
Setup > NMEA and set the NMEA baude rate to 38400.
Now check the following tick boxes:
• GPGGA
• GPRMC
• GPRMB
• LXWPx
• LXDT
• LXBC
• PFLAx
Now go to the Oudie’s Menu > Settings > Hardware > Device and select ’LX navigation’
(pending).
If you go to the Terminal, you should see communication flowing, in the form of NMEA
sentences.
Now your devices are communicating.
The Oudie will receive various flight parameters (IAS, vario info, Flarm objects and warnings,
GPS, etc.) from the LX 10k, and the Oudie will be able to send a flight declaration to the LX 10k
and control various flight parameters, like MC, bugs and ballast.
6.3 User port connectivity
Various devices can be connected to the LX 10k’s User port. The User port is used for bidi-
rectional NMEA communication, using the RS 232 protocol. Since the list of devices is long,
we will go through two main examples, an Oudie and a KRT2 radio, representing PNA/PDA
devices and radio transceivers, respectively.
