Hi all,
Just finished assembling and configuring my self build PAW unit, which is a 1.2 board for which I have been sent the non-official released sw.
I configured skydemon to test, and I can see ads-b traffic going into LHR, so that works.
Checking the status screen on the unit however I have reds against TRX and pressure altitude. I am testing from home on the ground, and using the recommended usb power cable, and have tried it plugged into a mains plug with adaptor.
Next to TRX it says 'Unavailable TX=0 RX=0 CRCFAIL=0'
Next to pressure it says 'Unavailable (Manual) QNH=1013mb QNE=0ft GBSS=85ft'
I checked the status both with skydemon connected and "flying", and not, with the same status.
Should I be concerned with the above, or is this normal when testing on the ground. I guess I am more concerned at the moment about the BMP as this is onboard the bridge and would be expecting it to work wherever, whereas I would expect line of sight and signal to be an issue with the TRX on the ground and in a house.
Thanks
Mark
