The glider's flight computer is successfully working in the garage! Woo hoo!
1st photo - XCsoar software has been loaded, showing a map and terrain data for New Mexico. (Airspace boundaries I'll add tomorrow.) No GPS data at the moment.
2nd photo - FLARM powered up, green status light...so it's got a GPS fix. Now to configure the glide computer to receive the FLARM data...GPS position as well as info on nearby aircraft. This is a debugging screen that shows I'm getting a meaningful data stream.
3rd photo - now the map is properly located because we have a GPS fix.
4th photo - Even with antennae casually draped over the fuselage, I'm getting ADS-B data of airliners miles away!
I also tested the three pneumatic inputs to the glide computer: pitot, static, total energy. They all cause the glide computer to respond in the correct manner.
