sad, I have twice had gliders shoot over me from behind in near miss situations, and pre warning would have taken some of the excitement out, further it would have enabled me to file near miss reports to German and Danish authorities as I would have been able to document it, both times I was so shocked that I didn't get a registration number 👿

Hi Ian
My mistake, I thought that having to use the flarm setting in skyddemon it also included flarm, but reading up on the subject I can see that is unfortunately not the case

So, piloteAWARE  works with a pi 2b
If you are going to do it without a gps dongle on an iPad, get the NMEA gps app. by alessandro Trebbi, load it and correct it as per Lee's comments further down in this thread.

a bit deceiving the app will show a red status bar, but when you leave the app to start Skydemon, it will continue in the background.

Start skydemon, and remember to set the altitude for objects to +40000,

let it be for a while and make sure that the seeking for gps goes out, (on my setup it seems a bit slower on the gps data.... but it may just be my impatience :-)

good luck everyone and Thanks Lee and Paul for comments and assistance

now comes the serious part, getting the plane out of the shop and trying to locate some gliders :-)

So, the pilotaware shows traffic when going via ip 192.168.1.1
But turning on nmea gps, and then Skydemon, does not
If i use nmea gps as downloaded it activates the gps, and shows my geo location
If I follow your changes the bar showing the updates goes red, and no connection to the gps

Houston, first problem solved, unfortunately i don't know how :-(

On a hunch i disconnected the fan, attached the wifi dongle and ads-b, added power, and viola, there she was my lovely wifi connection.

now the password has been added on the IP.

Only issue right now is that when the name gps software is running Skydemon will not connect via FLARM (seeking GPS remains on), if i just connect as usual my Ipad Mini 4 connects like a charm, have an idea that it is the NMEA GPS that prioritizes the gps output ??, if input please provide :-)

thanks for what you have done so far !

all the best

Good morning Lee
A few questions if I may
Can you from the pics I send you confirm that the wifi chip is the correct one ?
Can you try to send me an earlier version of the software
Is it possible to log the boot sequence so I can give you the complete log ?
any suggestions ?

hi Paul
ok, ill try to return the pib 2, but the production is already ver. 4 (pib- b, 2b, 3b) eventually i expect that the pib b will discontinue, what then.

is there any chance that there will be software in the near future that will support 2b ?, as returning the units cost almost the same a buying them :-(

pleased to hear and all the best.

could it be the fan on pin 2&3 that is causing it ?

sorry let me try to clarify (english is not my native language, im Danish :-)
 
i normally work on a mac book air, but i couldn't see the wifi dongle when i inserted it into the mac usb port. i then tried to insert it on a PC i have, and i could see it there, but when i double clicked it i got a request for a password.

(could it be because it works as a access point ?) (be aware it is connected to the pc via an usb hub
when trying to connect to the usb wifi on win 10 (it has the name said-CHkk) and i double click it im asked to type in the security key for the network :-) it also states that i can press a button on the router ??

Nope, no hotspot what so ever, but i tested the wifi dongle on my pc, and it shows up all right as a wifi, however it requires login ?
but when in the pi i can't see it on my iPad mini 4

Hi Again Lee

the unpacking stops about 50% done with the following

lot3i-rpi login license fail for eth0 b8:27:eb:95:46:81

and the repeats and the green light goes out

does this help ?, if not can i take a log from the memory card and send to you ?
