Title: Losing Connection
Post by: turkeysneck on June 10, 2020, 08:03:09 pm

I have the Rosetta which is new. I flew it yesterday and about 45 minutes into the journey I lost Pilot Aware, about a couple of minutes later it came back and over the intercom it said pilot aware. A few minutes later it went off again. I connected skydemon without pilot aware so I could get my naviation back, then I logged back in with pilot aware and it worked again. shortly after I landed so I presume the problem isn't fixed. It's not ideal.

Any ideas.

That sounds like a reboot
The message only occurs on bootup
Can you check to see if there were split tracks
Thx

Hi again Darren,

Sounds like a power issue to me. Is this a new Rosetta or the same one you’ve had since last August?

How are you powering it?

Assuming it is the same one, what has changed?

Regards

Peter

I say new, I can't remember what date I bought it but I haven't flown it so It's new to me.

It's hard wired into the aircraft, It's so long I can't remember how I did it now, I'll have to check but I can't get to the aircraft it's away being repaired at the moment..

Nothing has changed only I haven't really done any long flights before just short trips, due to the weather and all the rest of it.

How do I do that, I've no idea.

I looked back at my build wiring and it's hard wired into the aircraft via a circuit breaker.

Forgot to mention, it's wired in via a usb 12v to 5v regulator.

It's not one of the CPT ones is it? They're known to be a bit dodgy.

Any luck since?
