Technical Support / Re: iGrid connection to hotspot flakey as hell. - An Update

« on: July 12, 2022, 06:35:04 pm »

Clearing the cache simply removes all hotspots as candidates for connections
It will not remove them from the list of candidates, so the procedure should be as follows

clear cache
refresh
select desired hotspot in dropdown list
enter password
<save>

This will mean that this will be the ONLY hotspot considered as a candidate for connection
if this is not the case - then I have a bug

when a connection is made then the list will highlight the selected hotspot in green

Please let me know if the above procedure does not work for you.

alternately, do I misunderstand, and the problem is that Dynon is swamping the WiFi channels and not allowing other hotspots to be visible ?

The 'Refresh' button has no effect at all, whether one has 'cleared cache' or not - the SkyView connection is the only one that shows up.

While I’ve managed at times to get PAW to connect to both the hotspot available on my iPad and my phone it simply refuses to automatically connect to the last one used or even show either my iPad or iPhone hotspots when  first turned on. It seems to always recognise the Dynon skyview Wi-Fi bin the aircraft and the hotspot connection shown in PAW always seems to default to this. With a lot of rescanning and cache clearing and saves it will eventually maybe see one of the hotspots (iPad or iPhone) with actual GSM data available and then might connect- once connected it works great … usually until it’s turned off. It’s unusable pretty much as currently configured. Any ideas how I can get it to work and connect reliably and repeatedly and automatically?

I find exactly the same problem in that a Dynon skyview Wi-Fi seems to 'trump' any other Hotspot or Wi-Fi connection in the iGrid menu, and no amount of clearing the cache or re-scanning seems to get rid of it.

Technical Support / Re: iGRID - Two devices required?

« on: June 30, 2022, 03:47:39 pm »

Could someone from PAW please confirm that it is possible for a single device (iPhone) to be connected both to the Rosetta through the usual WiFi link as well as the Rosetta being connected to the same iPhone's HotSpot. Someone earlier in the thread said that the sequencing is difficult, and so it seems. Each time I try it seems to kick the iPhone off the WiFi to connect the Hotspot, or vice versa.

Many thanks

Further to my earlier post, I have found that a ferite core on the power lead plus an inline ground loop isolator (AUKEY Ground Loop Noise Isolator, Amazon) improves matters by about 85%.

Thanks for that suggestion re the ground loop. I have been suffering bad radio/static from a fixed PAW installation in a gyro. I will fit a ground loop noise isolator on the audio out cable today (and put some ferite cores on the power supply) and report back.

Technical Support / Re: Aerial installation

This thread addresses (but has not yet answered) exactly my own question. My PA Rosetta installation is hard-wired into a Magni gyro, but the two, 2 metre long cables supplied for the permanent fitting kit are too long and, coiled up, take up precious space - as well as offending the OCD cable-management side of me.

I am happy to order a couple of bespoke cables of the correct length from any one of the companies that will fabricate RF cables to order, but I am struggling with the spec.

The cable itself seems to be LM240 (also known as RF240), and the fitting at the Rosetta end is (I am pretty certain) SMA Male, but I can't work out what the fitting should be at the antenna-end of the cable.

Can anyone from PA, or any other genius on the forum) please advise?

Many thanks in hopeful anticipation

Thank you Peter, I get it now and am most grateful for your helpful response.

I promise to try to post more intelligent questions in the future!

All the best

General Discussion / PAW with SkyDemon question

« on: March 07, 2020, 05:58:40 pm »

Please forgive me if this is an ignorant question from a relatively new user (or if it is in the wrong forum). When using PAW with SkyDemon, I find that the PAW 'Radar' box at bottom right obscures the SkyDemon  'Make Approach' box, rendering the latter inaccessible. How can I turn off the 'Radar' function, or move it so as to get to the 'Make Approach' item underneath?

Many thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

Many thanks, and I will of course try that - but I was rather hoping that someone else on this forum might once have had the same question and already figured out the answer. Perhaps I should have posted it in the 'General' section - but as I say, I'm afraid I'm new to this.

All the best
