Jens,
I recently installed the Mio Moov 500 and XCSoar 5.2.4 PNA with a cable
to my Cambridge 302:
1) The power/data cable described on this newsgroup for the IPAQ 310
worked with the Mio 500:

2) The Mio's RS232 port communicated down to 4800 baud, so I was able to
interface the Mio with the CAI 302 for gps, mccready, airspeed, etc (the
IPAQ 310 does not work below 9600)
3) The power drain of the Mio was about a third the power drain of the
IPAQ 310.
4) The Mio screen is slightly larger (with less resolution) than the 310,
but suffers similar weakness as other devices in sunlight.
Overall, the Mio 500 was a slight improvement over other devices I've
tried with XCSoar.

Hi Rob, I have not solved the
problem yet, I decided just to use the MIO as on its own this summer, and
then I will look for a solution during the comming winter :-) Another
member of our club asked the people at
www.k6-team.de
about a solution, you can see a copy of their mails below. I will have a
closer look at this solution during the winter! Jens
---------------------------------------------------------- Hello Poul,
there is no limit for connected units with seriel RS232 port. Also for
Volkslogger. The PNA must have a Bluetooth to seriel (a serial com port
uses the bluetooth). The Mio Moov 580 PNA has Bluetooth 2.0. It should
work. For deklaration and download you need a to K6Bt adapted software,
because the seriel baudrate can be switched by software over Bluetooth.
You can use the adapted software connectMe or psConnect. (Feeware SeeYou
and StrePla) Kind regards Hans Poul Guldbæk schrieb: Sir/Madam, In our
club the gliders are all equiped with a mount and power outlet for a
Volkslogger and we have a pool of loggers for common use. We are now
experimenting with the Mio Moov 580 PNA as a platform for XCsoar (the Mio
has a GPS itself, but for vario-functions a presure reading would be much
better). The Mio - like most new devices - don't have a serial port, but
is Bluetooth enabled. And now the question: Is your K6 Bt able to connect
to the Volkslogger? (It's not mentionen in the list, but I assume it's
not limited to devices listed there.) Yours, /Poul Guldbaek
---------------------------------------------------------- Hi Jens, I
just came into a mio moov 500 too. have you had any luck hooking it
up to your volkslogger? Rob -- View this message in context:
