Title: no traffic shown on sky-map nav, ads-b enabled - msgs=0
Post by: Flyer on January 16, 2016, 08:35:29 pm

Good evening Gentlemen,
I am using Sky-Map on my Android Galaxy Tab (latest ver) - all settings made in this program,
run PAWAndroid software, connected to WiFi host PilotAware,
but no traffic shown in the Nav program.
Please see the settings on 192.168.1.1 below

Does anyone has an idea what is the reason?
Thanks for checking this!

Hi

This is the key information ->

Quote

ADS-B (DVB-T)    Enabled Msgs=0(+0)

This is telling you that no packets are being received from the ADS-B receiver.
So possibilities are ...

1. Faulty Dongle
2. Poor connection between Dongle and RPi
3. Poor reception

I am also concerned about this

GPS Sentences (TCP)    Msgs=320(+0)

This tells me that it has received a total of 320 GPS Packets, but in the last sample period (5 seconds) it received zero - (+0). You should really receive at least 1 GPS sample per second.
I notice you are using PAWAndroid software, the recommendation for a while has been to use a USB/GPS dongle as the source for your GPS data.

Has this ever worked or is this a new insatallation ?
