Hi all,
I've had a classic PAW 'permanently' installed in my plane for about 5 years (external ADSB antenna etc). For the last 6 weeks, since I renewed the licence, it has been working only intermittently. Usually, but not always, the wifi comes on (restarting usually sorts that out however). When the wifi signal is picked up by my phone/ipad, it connects to them only about 50% of the time. Even when connected, it will disconnect, leaving Skydemon saying "Waiting for device". Then maybe 5 or 10 minutes later it connects again.
I assumed it would be a power supply problem, but I seem to have exhausted the possibilities. I have tried: a) two different cigarette lighter sockets fed from two different circuits on the plane, b) two Anker UBS power adaptors, c) a 20,000 mAh Anker power bank and d) four cables (two of which are definitely up to the job) d) cleaned the contacts on the power socket as best I can. I also updated the software. I've even removed it from the plane and swapped out the wifi dongle, the GPS dongle and put on the original two small antennae. Nothing made any difference. I've been at it 6 hours. I though maybe a big hammer might at least end the affair!
Has anyone got any ideas please? Thanks, John
