Dear all
I was flying yesterday in the SW. As we don't have much of a grid of ground stations here, I never had the chance to experience the bearingless target upgrade.
But looking at the track log, it looks like PAW dropped out, probably due to high temperature eg a lot of lines like this.
$PALOG,20200625,115231,WIFI,UDP,192.168.1.27:4000,DISCONNECTED
$PALOG,20200625,115231,WIFI,UDP,192.168.1.27:2000,ATTEMPT
$PALOG,20200625,115232,TEMPERATURE,47.20,C
And then on the log, a host of these
$PALOG,20200625,115617,DEBUG,MODEC-FILTER-PASS,43C5E4,181,SIG,200,MAX,170,FILTER,3756,VDIFF
I didn't manage to find a single ground station between Cornwall and EGTU, but the A400M out of Newquay was there!
Is there a glossary of how to interpret the trk log for dummies?
Regards
Peter

Peter have you tried analysing your track log on the Aircrew site?

Thanks for that. I've replayed the track and it was very interesting as to what was about that day.
But no, the replay didn't answer the questions, really.

Hi Peter
The particular message (and many others) are intended for internal usage really
what this message is telling you, is that data was being sent to the device at that address, but no applications were listening
This is usually the case if you connect a phone and a tablet, but you are only running SkyDemon for example on the tablet
Thx

Thanks Lee - so probably the issue was a drop out with the tablet, not the PAW

Hi Peter
This does not indicate a dropout, what it says is this
I have tried sending data to the connected device, but there is no app listening to this data
I am going to try sending data in a different format
Unless you tell Pilotaware explicitly what to send, it attempts to send GDL90 and FLARM/PilotAware data
thx
Lee

Peter,
It is best to decide which data format you want to use with your Electronic Flight Bag of choice (i.e. SkyDemon, etc.) and set this in your PilotAware Configure Connectivity Settings, rather than leave this setting on ‘Auto’....
PilotAware (UDP) - if you want to see Bearingless Target Warnings on SkyDemon.
GDL90 - if you don’t care about Bearingless Target Warnings (SkyDemon won’t show them on GDL90) and want (reportedly) more reliable PAW to device connectivity.
Don’t forget to select the same option in your EFB (e.g. in SkyDemon / Settings / Navigation), then select this option when you ‘Go Flying’.
Regards
Peter

Thanks for that.
I'll give it a try asap
