Here you will find everything you need to build. All data is also published on GitHub: https://github.com/freevariode/FreeVarioGauge
In the GitHub, you can find the older files in particular, in case you need access to the old files again.
Difference between the original image and the FreeVario image for the OpenVario:
– XCSoar is included in the latest trial version
– Kedder’s main menu is included
– the FreeVario driver is included
– the driver for radio devices Becker AR62xx is included
– the programs i2sdetect and chattr are included
– From version 22164 the LTE stick Huawei3372h-320 is implemented
– from version 22005 optimized so that switching between STF and Vario mode works correctly when using the FreeVario together with the stick remote control. Of course, the images can still be used without FreeVario, but then other settings must be used to use the stick remote control. The exact procedure is described in the assembly instructions.
– the driver for the Air Control Display can send GPS data and transponder codes to the Air Control Display
