General Discussion / Rosetta Benefits Over My Classico?

« on: October 29, 2021, 10:07:07 am »

Hello

I am getting back into flying and looking to resuscitate my PA Classic back to life.  What are the actual benefits of upgrading to the Rosetta now? 

Back when the Rosseta was launched it was much cheaper and the Swap Your Classic deal value was significantly larger. 

Any rebates aside, will I get £295 of extra value swapping my Classic for a Rosetta?

Side note. I was going to press the trigger, then I noticed that the Battery is still external to the unit. This is what made me question the value proposition of the upgrade.

Cheers

OK, a bit of googling I have sorted it.

I did not know that the RPi had it's own onboard mini SD slot. A slight minor detail there!! 

It's booting away now..

Hi Lee

I have completed steps 1-13, but it looks like my Paw unit is not booting from my SD card automatically as per the Manual Install Update method

https://pilotaware.com/knowledge-base/manual-software-update/

Plugging the device into a monitor I can see that the only option being presented is the Restore Option (Shift) and then it boots straight in to the current OS.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated?


Thanks

Hi

Can I Install 20190621 on my Classic Via USB?

On https://pilotaware.lode.co.uk/ I can just see downloads for SD cards.  Does the image work with USB or am I stuck with the old version?

Any assistance is much appreciated! ;-)

Hi

OK, I ordered this 'Stratux' GPS mouse via Amazon Prime which arrived yesterday.

https://amzn.to/2NsgAGT

"Stratux Vk-162 Remote Mount USB GPS with Extended Cable ADS-B Receiver"

This one looked like the one on the PAW Hardware site, I didnt know the specs, but took a punt. 

I tested it yesterday on the ground and I got 5 greens straight away on the dashboard and Skydemon connected with no problems displaying traffic. Woohoo!

I am flying later this afternoon so looking forward to testing in the air.  Does anyone know if the 'Stratux Vk-162' is OK spec for PAW? I noticed references to VK-172 out there, but no where to buy.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Keith,

I bought it 13th May 2017.

I did not fly much at all in 2017 and it sat in the 'draw' all summer/winter.. so it is low mileage !

Hi Ian,

Thanks for the link.  Yes it does sound like a GPS issue based on my experience and that thread.

Next steps?

Hi Lee,

Thanks for getting back to me, sorry for the late reply.  I had not had a chance to look at this again, but managed to have a play at the weekend.

Hi,

I surrender!  Politely...I am a little bit frustrated.

After taking 3 flights to get my PAW Classic actually working 100%, I had already penned my "PAW" is awesome post" and start singing from the roof tops!  However, when flying with what would be the 4th flight at the weekend, the GPS just did not function at all and I had to switch to using location services on my iphoneX to continue using Skydemon.

Was the hotspot connected to your iPhone, could you browse to the home page http://192.168.1.1 ?

When you say GPS did not function, I assume you mean, when connecting from SkyDemon you had a popup saying "cannot connect to GPS", is this correct ?

What type of 3rd party connection do you use (All of these supported by PilotAware) ?
- Flarm
- GDL90
- PilotAware

Before reaching out to support I thought I would update to the latest release (May 2018).

The update took fine and the device rebooted. However, when trying to test, now the previous wireless password for hotspot is not working?
I have never heard this before - but I guess is possible (erroneously)
were you prompted for the password, or simply a failure to connect ?
Did you try 'forget this network' on your iPhone ?

Quote
I did a search on the the forum and I can see a suggestion to connect the device to the home router.  I have done that and it appears that the  ethernet port has the same Static IP as the PAW wireless network 192.168.1.1.  I am not sure if this is correct or causing issues, but I cannot connect to the configuration page to reset the Wireless password!
If your home router uses the same subnet 192.168.1.x as PilotAware - this can cause issues with conflicts
solution
- turn off Pilotaware
- remove wifi dongle
- reboot pilotaware
- this will now have a DHCP allocated by your router

Have I missed something? If anyone has any suggestions to get past the first issue of being about to reset the Wifi password I would be very grateful?

Connecting To The Hotspot Issue

OK, the wireless 'password issue' is now resolved.  I was able to connect to the hotspot via my mac and the 'known' password was accepted.  I then followed your advice and "Forgot" the network on my phone and then that allowed me to reconnect to the network as expected. 

PAW Not Working Issue

My PAW classic is still not working with only 2 greens on the configuration page.

I have taken screenshots of pages with data on them, so maybe you can deduce something from this info:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/m47kuv8atg9l0li/IMG_0725.PNG?dl=0 - The text is small... it states: "Await Radio Restart"

https://www.dropbox.com/s/yubjwztg5x6ydnr/IMG_0726.jpg?dl=0

https://www.dropbox.com/s/u32l6eympxlehsn/IMG_0727.jpg?dl=0

Hopefully this info helps?


Thanks for your support.
