Technical Support / Re: Installing 20190621 - SDFormat and Software upgrade

« on: July 16, 2019, 10:22:41 pm »

SGS66 and Exfirepro
From my opening post

Trying to install new pre-loaded Micro SD card V20190621.

And guess what? 90 blinking minutes later nothing has happened. I'm not surprised as I've had a lifetime of things going wrong.
Rosetta with good supply of lecky. Took screen shot of 192.168.1.1 data and turned it off.
Carefully laid old one out in same orientation and fitted new one the same.
Turned back on - saw flashing lights - went for me tea.

With the cover off I see the red LED steady and the green one flashing. Is this right.

What's my next move?

So I'm not trying to reformat as I don't know what that means. I put the card into my PC in the absence of any better advice.

Kinda feeling cast adrift at the mo.

I've tried the SD card in my HP Laptop.

Error messages about not recognised and format came up. Some of the dates appeared to be from 2018, is that significant?

This is all beyond me.

I bought the pre-formatted card as manipulating software is in my blindspot.

First question, would you be able to connect a TV/Monitor via the HDMI socket
This should tell us the exact problem

Sorry don't have an HDMI lead.

I do have a Micro SD slot in my HP Envy laptop - any use?

Brilliant! Unusually for me I did manage to buy the correct right one!

Many thanks.

Technical Support / USB RS232 cable tail - number of wires to connect to TT31 Txpndr?

« on: March 25, 2019, 10:08:36 pm »

Trig TT31 fitted some time ago working fine. When installed asked my avionics engineer to fit an RS232 cable into the rear Secondary Interface - Pinout #3 GPS Position In slot. I did this in anticipation of getting PAW in the future. That future is now and I've bought a FTDI USB A-RS232 serial converter to attach to the previously installed cable neatly coiled ready behind the panel.

Problem; the new cable has 6 wires but the existing tail hasn't. I've obtained the data sheet and sent it to my engineer who has replied with this.

Hi ok got this fine.  Not sure what you are plugging the USB into so assume it only uses RS 232 data out with a common ground.   Will it use a known common protocol for both units? And there is no CTS RTS out, so I'm assuming it dosen't need it? 

I'd like to say yes in answer but can anyone reassure me or put me straight please?

Thanks
