Technical Support / Re: SkyDemon doesn't connect to my PilotAware unit on IOS or Android

Gentlemen

My sincere thanks to all for the prompt and helpful responses, and for your sharp eyes on my screenshots.  I was indeed connected to the PAW unit on my iPhone and then using my Mac to try and interrogate it while working on this page as well!  In the words of Homer Simpson "Duh!"

I am happy to report that logging in to 192.168.1.1 on the same device as connected to the PAW works fine.  Screenshot attached for your information.  My unit is now connecting and working on both iPhone and Android.  I need to use the FLARM settings (I had assumed clicking PilotAware in the connectivity was the obvious choice but that doesn't work).

As soon as the wind dies down up here I'll take it aloft and enjoy a better situational awareness than hitherto!

Thanks again.

Hello Peter and Graham

1. There's no such thing as a dumb question! but yes my iPhone is connected to my PilotAware-B827EBFC562C WiFi hotspot

2. I made a mistake when transposing the web address for my post. I am indeed trying to connect to the correct 192.168.1.1 web address (see screen shot taken just now)

I am currently sitting with my PilotAware unit powered up, good view of the sky, GPS dongle blinking quite happily about 60Hz and the error messages remain the same!

Skydemon doesn't see my Pilotaware unit.  I am trying to establish the unit with my iPhone (iOS device)  and also an Alcatel One Touch Pop 7s (Android OS) each for for the first time

I have tried two approaches in the connectivity options setup menu in SkyDemon

1. Live Data when Planning + PilotAware.    This consistently generates an error message  "no data has been received from your GPS device for some time and the connection is therefore lost. Check your device settings to ensure connectivity then  try again". The  Pilotaware unit is in the open with a good power supply and a clear view of the sky and GPS dongle blinking green regularly.

2. Live Data when Planning + FLARM + Air Connect Key set to 6000.   This generates the error message 'Failure to establish a connection with the Butterfly Connect unit!

I contacted Keith Vinning on 28th September and had a helpful response via Lee Moore to double check Dongle line of sight.  I now have had the time to really try and crack this and so far no luck.  Lee asked me to attach a screenshot of the Pilotaware home page but I also get a consistent error message when trying to log in to 198.162.1.1 saying "Safari can't open the page 198.162.1.1 because the server where this page is located isn't responding" !  I do know that my subscription doesn't expire until December (don't ask why its taken so long to get around to trying to get things to work, that's another story).
