Bluetooth Connection; Serial Connection - Compass C-PILOT EVO User Manual

Compass s.r.l.
VERY IMPORTANT WARNING: before going back to the navigation page or
unplugging the USB cable, please disable the USB connection using the
"safely remove hardware" procedure on your PC (normally by the right button
of mouse). Otherwise you might experience data loss, as in all the USB storage
peripherals. If you do not use the "safe disconnection" the USB memory may
be damaged and, in some cases, you need to format the USB memory of your
C-Pilot EVO.

BlueTooth connection

You can pair C-Pilot EVO to other BlueTooth-enabled devices to transfer data to and from C-Pilot
EVO. When you send a file to C-Pilot EVO from your PC, if it is a system file (such as a display file
or an audio file), C-Pilot EVO will store it in the proper folder, ready to be used. Unrecognised files
will be stored in the main folder of the USB memory.
You can enable or disable the BlueTooth module to save energy. You can also set the transmission
power between 10 m and 100 m of transmission radius.
 
If the BlueTooth module is enabled, the standard BlueTooth logo will be shown on the navigation
page.
The BlueTooth connection needs a four-digit password that must be used during the pairing
procedure to protect your device from unauthorised accesses. C-Pilot EVO chooses randomly a
password for you (you can read and/or change it from the BlueTooth page).
After pairing your device with a PC, two new virtual serial ports (an incoming one and an outgoing
one) will be created on your PC. You can use the outgoing one to simulate a serial connection to
download track logs with any program that supports the serial MLR protocol (such as GPSdump,
CompeGPS, etc.).
C-Pilot EVO can be used as a BlueTooth GPS. Using the virtual serial port, it can send GPS
coordinates to an external device (1 point per second).

Serial connection

You can use the serial connection to interface C-Pilot EVO to most of the flight-analysis programs
(GPSdump, CompeGPS, etc.) using the MLR protocol to transfer track logs or waypoints.
The serial connection allows using a DSX Safly logger to receive SMS messages and send an
emergency message to a given telephone number.
