1. Install HW VSP3 – Virtual Serial Port.
You can choose standalone installation (without Server/Client option)
2. Condor device (computer) and XCSoar device (Computer/Android phone/Kobo Mini) must be connected to same WiFi network /router
3. Note IP address of XCSoar device e.g. 192.160.0.12 from wifi settings

IP Address: IP address of XCSoar device (e.g. 192.168.0.12)
Port: 4353 (port from XCSoar device A configuration)
Click “Create COM”, leave HW VSP3 window in the background.
7. Start Condor, in Setup > Options enable NMEA output and choose virtual com port (e.g. COM5 created in step 6)
