Lee,
Just connected Wireless, Simply connect the same as you do with Ipad by selecting the PilotAware under wireless connections instead of your wireless router for internet. It also makes putting in the licence key easy too. You also need to have the GPS fitted to the PA box and to get a Satellite fix too. Then connect within SD and select FLARM first setting the connection port to 6000.
Just another point on connecting to our PC. This would make it fantastic for ground station (In Airfield Tower) as all they need is a PC then just plug the PA into a USB slot for its power supply and you have ground Radar too.
Could you just add an off switch to the outside if the PA box to turn off the ADF for a ground station?
I just love the way PilotAware is starting to Evolve, Keep up the good work, Big thank you from me.

OK.... All Sorted..... Easy when you know how.
Simply set the "Show other traffic" to 40000ft on your mobile device. Now save settings to Cloud with in your account. Now Load settings from cloud with your PC. and Hay Presto.... you can now see traffic above the default 5000ft.
This will be great for testing on my PC.

OK here is a challenge, With a GPS connected to the PA I can connect direct to my PC, This works fine and will be good for testing at home.
The problem I have I can not see traffic above 5000ft Ok we can alter this in our mobile devices but I can not find the option within the SkyDemon PC software. Does anyone know how to alter this setting?

Lee,
This is fantastic news. You are now well on your way to helping every one see everyone in the air, all they need is to put together your PilotAware. Please give your self a pat on the back from me.

1. If I 'Go Flying' in sky demon with 'FLARM' I get pilotaware GPS data
2. If I 'Go Flying' in sky demon with 'Location Services' I get iPad GPS data
Ian,
Q1 yes as long as you don't run the collisionaware app.
Q2 Yes as long as you do run collisionaware app.
The Idea off adding the GPS to PilotAware is for Ipad or Android devices that do not have built in GPS. OK you can use a standalone GPS such as Garmin of bad-elf if you have one, for someone who does not, Just use PilotAware with out having to spend £100+ in a separate GPS device. If at some point we can connect Pilotaware to our transponders It will provide the GPS for the ADS-B output all in one box. I really hope it will get to this at some point in the future.....

Ok to ensure you are connected to your U-blox 7 GPS don,t use the collisionaware app if you get GPS in SD. It is using U-bloc 7
I'm sure this is correct.

Ho. I will try that at this end. Looks like I gave you some fals info. Sorry I should have tested first. But what is correct, SD will not receive the GPS data without the collision aware app running. I'm assuming you are connecting via FLARM to your Pilotaware device.

Ian
If you turn off cellular data this will turn off your GPS in the iPad or iPhone. Or your pilot aware needs the collision aware app to get GPS from your iPad. So if you can get GPS connected to your iPad without running the collision aware app you will be connected with the GPS on your pilotaware device.
I hope this makes sense.

« on: September 26, 2015, 04:08:42 pm »I am interested in how well your GPS/UBLOX is performing ?
Mine took a loooongggg time to get its initial fix, way more than the supposed 12.5 minutes.
Now that it appears to have stored the ephermeris/almanac data it is working superbly
Initial fix from cold is about 1 minute - usually the time PilotAware takes to boot.
interested to know your findings
Lee,
I managed to complete a moving test today (frustrated I could not Fly because of the air Show)
OK.... First boot... GPS got a fix from cold in exactly 0:2:20 mins
Linking direct to the Iphone, without colisionAware even installed. Problem... No GPS received to the IPhone?
?OK, I plugged the GPS/UBLOX into the top right USB port (Looking directly at the ports) BINGO.... all worked well with no dropout at all.
Return journey, Started the PilotAware again in the same configuration... All working. I thought it was a fluke so put the GPS/UBLOX back into the top left USB and it will not work. Just seeking GPS, I replug back into the top right while hot and instantly all was up and running.
?? On the return journey it did drop GPS, so I simply pressed go fly again and all was well, So 1 drop on a 30min trial.I have the DVB TV plugged into the bottom left port under the GPS and the wifi in the bottom Right port.
Can this make a difference to how it is working?

I have been in contact with Pete and due to other commitments we have had to relocate to Saturday. Are you about?
We are proposing to meet at our strip - White Fen Farm, Benwick about 15m south of fenland around midmorn to mid day
I will monitor the forum to see any replies. We think we have at least 2 working units for air testing

David,
Sorry Can't make it on Saturday, We Have The Great Yorkshire Air Show at Former Church Fenton, now Leeds East. I'm also working in the morning so can't get to Sherburn before the close of the ATZ
There will be another day, for sure. Have fun, and let us all know your results.

I have connected directly to the unit as you did in one of your earlier photos.
So far I have been unable to find the correct pigtail as to what you have used. Where did you obtain your from?
Yes I agree the direct connection is loose and not a good fix. An alternative would be to simply connect with glued heat shrink to secure them together with out soldering together which is not really an option.

Trapdoor,
I'm using the same as you.... The one you recommended in the ebay link.
Its strange that I get intermittent reception from the small antenna but fantastic reception from the original supplied antenna. I have altered the the original by shortening the wire and removing the magnet in the base then stuck it to the box. This may have helped with reception with the shorter coax cable.
