This however is way cooler. Its a bluetooth weatherboard that uses a java app on your phone to recieve all variometer information and display it on your phone. It even has GPS.
What it does:
it tells me my speed over ground.
It can tell me my climb and decend speed.
What it dosnt:
I would still need to write some software to caculate things like...interface....more on this later
Price: The Price is not exactly dirt cheep (Im counting @ 200 usd afg), it is however about the same ammount that I would pay for a kinda "okay/used/old" vario from back in the day. Lets just say for this kind of capability , you usually pay around >400€
Benefit: you use your phone to monitor the information via bluetooth, so if your paragliding, you dont have to worry about getting an extra piece of gear to lug with you. I have a small solar charger panel, so adding these two items might be a really cool idea.
any way. Theres alot of fun stuff on this site...so check it out.
