In 2005 the Competino got added.

Menu OTHER/BRAUNIGER

Competino and Compeo use different cables.

COMPEO uses a flat ribbon square plug cable.

While the competino uses a round plug cable.

But they use the identical interface specifications.

Therefore TP offers 2  identical Interfaces. One for the ex-Galileo Compeo or Flytec 5030.

And one for a Competino / Flytec 5020.

The reason for this, they use different cables.  One can have one COM port for the one cable and use another COMx for the other cable.

Do not use the Galileo Interface, it never worked properly.

Make sure your computer uses in Regional settings a date format of dd/MMM/yyyy.

 Compeo setup

 Compeo has to be on a software level of 2.09 or higher.
 Make sure the beep sound is enabled on the Compeo.
Make sure the cable only gets plugged in once you are in waypoint or flight menu mode.

 For waypoint up/download switch the Compeo into Menu mode or one further into the list of waypoints. Then plug in the serial cable.

 
  Waypoints

Recommend to use the compatible mode.  For this the Waypoints have to follow the G01123 notation.  G01 is the id, and 123 is 1230 meters altitude.

Downloading a track  TRK_ONLY

Before you start a track download ...

Make sure the sound is switched on at the Compeo to get some acoustic feedback .

 First highlight in the Compeo the flight, then plugin the cable, then start on the TP side the track download.

 

Menu OTHER/BRAUNIGER/TRK-ONLY  downloads IGC tracks .
 

Another option is  using the COMPEO shareware, like GPSVAR or IQ-online code from the Braeuniger website , download the track in IGC and then score IGC track. With the TP Convert Option CONVERT/IGC/IGC>CSV
 

 Track gets downloaded as IGC in the temporary work directory and then converted/stored in csv file format.

 COM settings

Interface Settings

IQ-COMPEO receives and transmits data with the following format:

• 57.600 baud
• 1 start bit
• 8 data bit
• 1 stop bit
• no parity
• Software handshake XON / XOFF for flow control

 Known Problems and Workarounds

• COMPEO/GALILEO nothing works when interfacing. The sound MUST be activated at the Compeo!!!!
• No difference which waypoint format is used. Correct, they were made the same. All of them use an ID altitude format now
• Track read errors? Go into your computers serial port settings ....

 Via MyComputer/Properties/Hardware/DeviceManager/Ports/ComPorts/Properties/PortSettings
 and set your comport to use
 57600 8 None 1 Xon/Xoff

• The download does not work,... try the RobLog IGC interface. Uses the same command syntax.
  
• Downloads are missing trackpoints? Increase the buffer, if that does not help use the GPSVAR code from the Braeuniger website
• Getting B record errors when reading the IGC data? Use GPSVAR from Braeuniger website .Then score the IGC track in TP by CONVERT/IGC/IGC>CSV  or OTHER/IGC
• Why is my date out? Instead of 070804 it shows 080704 for the track log.!!!!
  The computer date format is set to MM/dd/yy  while it should be  dd/MM/yy.  or dd/MMM/yyyy.
• The IGC track does not convert into a proper csv track and looks wrong.!???
  Have a look at the IGC file with notepad or some other editor.
  Are the B records all looking the same?  Or are there some that have a  different length?
   Delete the ones that look garbled.
   And then convert again from IGC to csv and rescore the pilot
   
• Use the latest USB Serial port driver. See  http://www.brauniger.de/english.html?sid=1107096992.798390299  which recommends certain drivers.
• Maybe http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/FT2232CDrivers.htm for FTDI will help?
•  Waypoints get sent, but no beep from the device? Either you got the COM port wrong. Or the sound is off.
• Waypoints got sent, but do not show up. First Esc , then Waypoints again on the device to see an updated list.
• Waypoints are still not there. Did you reach the 200 limit?  Delete some or all of the  Waypoints in the device.
