My club is among many that have implemented an OGN station recently. To add value to the network we are adding Trackers to the club gliders. We are using the LilyGo Softrf LORA32 Tbeam recently recommended by Davis C. we can use XC soar for a display
but I would like to use our Oudie2s if possible. Has anyone tried this successfully? I can get the Oudie to "see" the Tracker, but it it starts asking for the pin number of the device among other things. Does anybody know the proper way to pair these
two?

SoftRF sends the same NMEA-like "sentences" that FLARM sends. Thus any
device that can receive and process such sentences can display the data,
give voice warnings, or whatever. To get collision warnings using a
prediction algorithm appropriate for gliders, use a real FLARM, or use
this version of SoftRF:

I don't know what inputs the Oudie2 has. The T-Beam can send the data
via WiFi or Bluetooth. But some devices can only receive the data via a
serial cable. You can add a serial output to the T-Beam, but it
requires a soldering iron, and in most cases also requires a TTL to
RS232 voltage converter chip. An e-reader running Tophat or XCsoar has
an internal TTL serial port, thus no converter required, but soldering
is required on both ends.
