Technical Support / FAILED TO ESTABLISH A CONNECTION WITH BUTTERFLY CONNECT UNIT.

« on: June 17, 2016, 07:08:11 pm »

 
Just reset my PAW unit & I think I have done everything that Lee has mentioned..... I can get the PilotAware screen that shows LAT/LONG/ALT/HEADING/SPEED/TIME showing my B827EBFC42FF
I have put 6000 in the FLARM set up.
When I try to connect to SKYDEMON FLARM it comes up with  FAILED TO ESTABLISH A CONNECTION WITH BUTTERFLY CONNECT UNIT.

Any ideas because I am lost as to what to do next?

Technical Support / Does the OLD PAW still work?

« on: June 09, 2016, 12:02:22 pm »

I have an original PAW ( that I have used on 001986611DCF & B827EBFC42FF ) but because of the upgrading you have been doing inhouse I put it into the Avionics cupboard & have just taken it out of the cupboard again...... it seems to be non functioning now?

Is my unit now extinct or should it still work?

General Discussion / Pilotaware Downloading

« on: November 06, 2015, 11:08:46 pm »

I had my Pilotaware unit supplied with PilotAware Release 20151018 as it's latest download.

Is it essential to download every update or can you miss out a few?  The 030 update is about TRT 800 so if I am not using a TRT 800 do I need to upload the update?

Not trying to cut corners, more a case of " if I try uploading anything it ends up buggered "

General Discussion / Newcomer to Pilotaware who is just a bit too dense to understand the basics 😊

 8)Hi Forum users,

Just purchased a Pilotaware unit from a PAW Builder & to be honest I am a complete dork when it comes to Electronics.
I haven't received the unit because I literally only paid for it 8hrs ago ( as at 2015hrs 24/10/2015 ) but I am someone who when I get a new gizmo wants to play with it immediately.

Now comes the questions :
(1) I intend to run it on Skydemon & don't know how to connect the PAW unit to my Galaxy Tab3 Android tablet so that is likely to be my initial faux pas.

(2) Does the PAW unit have to maintain an internet connection during use or will it still function offline?

(3) My android Tab3 has an inbuilt GPS, will this be the GPS link I will use to run the PAW?

(4) Do you have to program your callsign into the PAW?  * I ask because I am jumping in/out of different aircraft  almost weekly and wouldn't want to be transmitting the incorrect callsign whilst flying *

I look forward to receiving the informed answers to what probably seem dumb ass questions, please explain in layman terms because I am electronically inept.

MTIA,
Peter.
