A further update - I did obtain another software key as I had the satellites "dropping out" after I had entered my old key.

The new licence key works a treat - why don't I do as I am told ? ? ?   

Thanks again.

I tried Ian's suggestion of re-entering my licence details in the 192.168 config page and that has now allowed me to connect.

I like the registration marks being shown - cool !

Hi Lee,

I just loaded the latest update to the software onto my machine and found that after some considerable time loading, I now have a completely different Wi-Fi Pilotaware address!
My original - that works fine was 000F600632CC but with the new software my Ipad is showing a PilotAware - B827EBBDA90 code and although the Ipad will connect, CollisionAware will not - it shows "connecting" for about  5 minutes and then slips back to "disconnected" - having never connected in the first place.

Any idea what is going on here? 

I have 2 sim cards and have put the old one back in and it all works perfectly again.  Sorry but I don't know what version software I have on my operating card, but I haven't updated for some time now.

Hi Paul & Lee,

Paul has already outlined what he identified the problem to be - I am confirming his findings/suspicions.

I have now obtained the correct Pi B+ board from RS, jury rigged it all together to test it and voila, it all seems to work OK.

So my message to everybody is simply make sure & thoroughly check that you have been sent the correct Raspberry Pi B+ board when you actually receive it.

As Paul said, it is very difficult to actually read the printing on the top of the board, but it can be seen if you look closely and/or use a magnifying glass. 

In addition there are white bars on the headers of the correct board, whereas the ones on the incorrect board are all black in colour.

I would also strongly recommend using the list of known parts as trial and error has now proven that these components will all work together. 

Believe me when I say that it is extremely frustrating when you think that you have done everything correctly, only to find out that you have purchased incompatible components.

Thanks again to Paul for making the time to come over and help sort this out - helping each other out is what I think this whole project is about.

Lee if you can eventually get the program to work with the P2 B board, I will readily construct another unit. 

I am member of the LAA Redhill Strut and some of the guys there are interested in PilotAware, so now that I have a working unit I can demonstrate it to them and maybe some will go on to construct their own.

Thanks for your own continued hard work in addressing all of the issues that idiots like me keep throwing in your direction.




Regards   Alan

Hi,

Further to Ducklings post.  I too have been trying to access the PAW licence configuration page without sucess.
I am using an Ipad mini with Skydemon. When I switch on my PAW unit my Ipad shows the wording "CollisionAware is using your location" at the top of my screen.

However when I go into Settings on the Ipad and select the PilotAware hotspot all that happens is that the circular disc icon just keeps rotation and I don't get a green tick to show that it is connected to the dongle / Ipad!

I have tried opening Safari and typing in http://192.168.1.1 but after a long wait I get an error message stating that "unable to connect, the server stopped responding".

Anybody else in this position as I am all out of ideas and loosing confidence. Others have managed to get things working, what am I missing?

If you are close to Epsom and willing to help, please message me.

Regards Alan Powell
