Technical Support / TT21 connectivity problem
« on: June 05, 2017, 07:47:46 pm »
I have read through the forum and the many posts about this. I think I have followed all the instructions and advice correctly but I cannot get position data on the Transponder.
The FTDI cable is connected on port 1 (top left ) I have confirmed this as changing port 1 data settings in the config page stops the RED LED flashing on the USB clear plug.
Orange wire on FTDI cable to pin 5 on TT21, Black wire to pin 4 (triple checked!!) The FTDI plug is flashing red so it appears to be sending data (I saw someone said it would flash green but mine only does that whilst booting).
Using recommended Anker cig lighter plug and heavy duty power cable.
I have tried a different FTDI cable, second PilotAware box and even another TT21, all to no avail
Latest software on both
Settings are NMEA, 9600 on Trig and Transponder Trig, 9600 on the PilotAware.
PilotAware are bought bridges on Pi b+ with a current licence.
Pilotaware Home page shows everything working and all green tabs and correct USB info. I am getting position data on skydemon (ipad) and its showing ADS b traffic.
I am sure its something simple but I can't see what it is.
Any advice greatly appreciated
