• Logstream VR1 - new type of digital electronic variometer

    From Logstream@21:1/5 to All on Mon Aug 14 00:24:52 2023
    Hi,
    I am pleased to present a modern inexpensive club variometer:

    Logstream VR1

    Dimensions: 65x63x80 mm
    Weight: 210g
    Precise digital pressure sensor
    2.4" display with very high brightness
    1 pressure connector ((TEK) or static tube)
    2.5m/s, 5m/s, or 10m/s range
    Rotary knob with a button
    Internal speaker
    The ability to connect an external speaker
    UART TTL external communication interface
    RS232 external communication interface

    This looks interesting, nice work! When setting the units through the menu, are Imperial (knots, feet) available?

    The scale on the main screen shows the vario only in m/s ( needle ).

    Information fields can show:
    flight time, vario, average vario, altitude, atmospheric pressure

    in these fields:
    vario can be displayed in m/s , ft/s , knots
    altitude in meters or feet
    pressure in hPa, mmHg, inHg

    Thanks!

    Nice to have options on the market. But I note that this vario is
    pretty simple: Only one pneumatic input (presumably for TE probe, thus
    no pitot and static input). And no wireless connectivity? Compare with
    the features of the XCvario, for a relevant example. Maybe a good
    backup vario?

    No.
    The device does not have any internal battery

    Wireless option is available - external Bluetooth module 20 Euro, the device then sends information about vario and height, e.g. to XCSoar

    This device is a cheaper equivalent of e.g. S3
    Ideal as backup vario or as a digital variometer for club gliders
