Hi there,
After reading about the new release and the kernel update I decided to fully update my PAW. Even with the latest documentation the details are out of date - I managed to get my PAW working but wanted to make you aware the documentation needs a tweak:
SD formatter has been updated to version 5 and there aren't any options to select - a full format worked fine on mine without having to set anything else.
After transferring the files to the memory card and then booting PAW, PAW takes about five minutes to extract the files and configure itself - this isn't mentioned in the documentation and I only found out after plugging in a HDMI cable and watching the process as I thought it wasn't working.
Although obvious I think it is worth mentioning that everyone should note their specific settings before doing this process as everything is wiped and you need to configure everything from scratch!
Just my thoughts and the instructions above may help other users.
Thanks
Rob

Thanks For pointing this out Rob. This part of the instructions dates from 2016 and I can't keep track on external programs unless it's pointed out by Eagle eyed users like you. Thanks again an I hope all is well at Wellesbourne

More than happy to help - it benefits us all! :-)
Wellesbourne is good thanks - great to see their PAW working as a ground station! It's nice the field is still going strong!
