wifi problems

[Admin]

Hi Lee
Yes it says     Skydemon/Butterfly connect ?
using version 0926 but see you have released another update. of which i will try
Power supply is 12v to usb built in.
Wi-Fi dongle swapped for another same outcome.

I will try a USB power monkey back up to see if this helps.

Many thanks. Glenn

Are you running CollisionAware, or a GPS dongle connected to PilotAware ?

with the first wifi dongle which is a ralink 5370 when I power up the raspberry pi the ipad shows a new wifi network it calls TNCAP55DC21

The second dongle shows pilotaware but will not connect to the 192.168.1.1 when I try to open with Safari

thnx Anne

Hi Anne
Can you boot with a monitor attached to see what the boot messages are
Also can you tell me where you purchased the wifi dongles, I am trying to keep a list of known good vendors
Thx lee

HI Lee

We're getting a recurring message that says License Fail for Host 7C:DD:90:9D:3A:D5

wifi dongles are from amazon, the one that doesn't work at all is https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00UFJ0MI6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and the one that shows pilot aware but won't open 192.168.1.1 on safari is https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EK3U2FQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

thanks

Hi Anne
Not sure if this is related, but I have read some postings which say some wifi dongles only work when they are in the usb slot furthest from the rj45 ethernet connection, sounds like a long shot to me.

It seems there are a lot of wifi dongles which really are not compatible.
 
There is a known good list here posted by members

I may have asked before, so just wanted to confirm the power supply and power usb cable you are using ?

Thx
Lee

Hi Lee

At the moment (at home) I'm using the mains plug supplied with the raspberry pi.

Once it's working  again I've an Anker 20000mAh power pack with a 20 awg sub cable

Thanks Anne

Have you received a licence in respect of each WiFi dongle?

[brinzlee]

Where are you based Anne
I'm sure there is somebody that can help you on here....that might have some spare parts to isolate whats going on

The Web server will still run without a license, so this is not an issue

Hi Lee
Iam using collisionaware app

did a test at home this is what happened?   
working ok, then after a bout 1/2 hr had this
The exact words are

''The connection to your GPS has been lost''

click ok it says

''Please wait while a connection is established to your external device''.

then it says

''Failed to establish a connection with the Butterfly connect unit''

software 1003
Collisionaware App latest version 0.3
USB power mains

Any idea? as this seems to be the only fault i have otherwise perfect

Hi

Can you tell me what is in your system, do you have the ARF available ?

These issues tend to come down to 3 issues, in this order

1. Quality of USB Power supply & cable
What is the current output of your power supply
What is the power rating of the cable eg 20 AWG ?

2. WiFi Dongle
Should be RT5370, but many (alleged) RT5370 have issues

3. WiFi interference

Thx
Lee

Hi Lee
by gad mate i think ive cracked it. 
You sent me a WI-FI dongle which i kept in case mine was crap, guess what after 10 minute i kept losing
connection so change everything in sequence it appears it be the wi-fi dongle bought from
ebay.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231483794170?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

this doesn't say on the packet what the chip set is, it's just advertised as the RT5370 but it defiantly is the reason.
Can you post me a link where you purchased yours from?

Many thanks Glenn

Check out the known good hardware thread

That is the site listed as supplying known good dongles! I have replacements coming from there to replace ones already supplied from elsewhere which have the wrong chipset

Well there's  drop out, and the one Lee  send doesn't  I had 2 of theirs. Slightly  bigger on the case to Lees.
So Lee can i asked where you got yours  from?
