Because the back side of the glider's instrument panel is so crowded, I have moved the vario speaker to the space under the turtle deck, aft of the wing spars.
To make connections easier, I added some 3.5mm audio jacks and plugs to the speaker box and the long cable running aft. (2nd photo)
The first photo shows one audio plug and two jacks. What's up with that?
The standalone vario has an audio output, and the glide computer also has an audio output. They use different styles of sound, programmable with slightly different parameters. Now I can more easily choose and change which audio output I want to use.
This should end my soldering work. Tomorrow I'll be working on (third photo) all the pneumatic connections from the three pressure probes: pitot, static, and total energy...to all the flight instruments that need these pressure signals.
