All the bits arrived today so followed instructions and everything seems fine.
BUT - I cant see any ADSB traffic - I was expecting to see commercial stuff, even if no-one is mad enough to go out and fly themselves today. I do not have the RF board fitted.
My log shows:

From my limited knowledge, it looks like you haven't put in your licence details on the configuration screen. Could this be the case?
Hopefully Lee will pick up on this and confirm.
-
It does rather look that way.
See p19 and p21 of the software installation guide:

Thanks for advice.
I have re-checked the input of the supplied licence key and still nothing displayed under Traffic on the laptop and yet the count of ADSB messages is increasing. I was looking for a simple way to test it is receiving traffic (i.e the Tuner dongle was working) before I go over the airfield and connect up to the Ipad running RunwayHD. I want to get this bit working before the P3i is added.
Is there a way of running a Term session on the USB serial out to the transponder to see whether it is outputing any NMEA sentences.
Or perhaps using the RJ45 interface and looking.
One of the most frustrating things is keep having to swap Wi-Fi from the PAW to the home network, but if I dispensed with the Paw Wi-fi whilst testing and could plug the RJ45 from the laptop to the PAW it would simplify things. Is there a way ?

Could it be that you have not set the "show tragic above alt" or is it "hide tragic above alt" in the settings ?

Techy Mode ON
ok, you can connect PAW to your wired network, the Fixed IP address is 192.168.0.100, the subnet mask on your router must be setup to pass traffic, so would need to be 255.255.255.0
yes you can run a terminal, try connecting to port 2000 on the PAW WiFi=192.168.1.1 Wired=192.168.0.100
telnet 192.168.0.100 2000
or
telnet 192.168.1.1 2000
You will be asked for a 'PASS?', which I suggest would be 6001
Messages are then streamed to your terminal
Alternately, much simpler to attach a web browser to 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.100 accordingly
This has a logging feature, log verbosity can be enabled under config menu
Techy Mode OFF
Hope that helps

Am connected to the PAW via browser session and am in the log screen. I have tried to switch on NMEA and ADSB logging in config, but doesn't change what is on the logging screen. Seems to be stuck with ERROR Coms buf=' ' Data Mode.
Could it be that you have not set the "show tragic above alt" or is it "hide tragic above alt" in the settings ?
Cant find anything in config about showing traffic above/below a certain altitude.
What now, I wonder.

Hi John
Go to the home screen for 192.168.1.1
There is a table with an entry for each interface, easiest to post the entire table
Cant find anything in config about showing traffic above/below a certain altitude.
This is a NAV tool option to display traffic at certain height separation
Thx

Is this in PAW config, or are you refering to the Nav App running on the tablet.
I havent got as far as linking to RunwayHD yet as I want to see it logging ADSB and putting out NMEA sentences before trekking up the aircraft.
-
No GPS signal at all.
It needs to be outdoors to work, especially the first time the GPS boots up (if using a USB one).
If you don't have a USB GPS you need the PilotAware / CollisionAware app running to feed GPS to PilotAware from your tablet/phone.

Thanks Ian - I didnt appreciate you had to have the GPS input to receive the ADSB. I was expecting the ADSB reception to work without GPS connected.

The traffic info is position-relative, so you must know your own position

O.k - think its working now. Using my android phone as GPS source and Pilotawareandroid and with XC-Soar loaded (it seems its a freebie) it starts logging aircraft and displaying them on the XC-soar chart.
Next step - up to the airfield and get it running with RunwayHD.
I am not sure whether this has been asked before, but if I connect the Pi to my home router via rj45, I assume I can connect up to it using 192.168.0.100 could I then run a mapping app on a pc and use it a bit like FlightRadar24 but for local aircraft.
It would be a nice step for an A/G or Fiso tower to be able to see ADSB and Pi3 traffic.

Hi john
Yes you can run it on a pc. The is a thred on this forum on how to do it. I can not just find it at the moment I will look for it for you later today

I have to say users have reported issues with this application freezing up when supplying the GPS data.
My advice is to use a USB/GPS dongle from the Hardware list on this site (ublox 7)

Hello,
since the current position is essential for PAW working correctly, have a look at this posting:
http://forum.pilotaware.com/index.php/topic,118.msg1703.html#msg1703
I successfully run following setup for testing PAW connected to EasyVFR at home:
- my PC is connected to PAW W-LAN with a W-LAN USB-stick
- additionally it's connect via LAN to the internet to compare PAW and FlightRadar (not needed, but nice to have)
- EasySim runs on the PC and is bound to PAW's IP-address using UDP port 2001
- EasySim's initial position is set to my current location
With this you don't need a GPS attached to PAW. The NMEA sentences from EasySim are routed over PAW to your navigation software and so you get a valid position.
This setup should be fine for other nav software as well.
Happy Landings

Hmmm - router on my network doesn't even see the PAW when connected via RJ45, thats a shame.
Please to say though that it all seemed to work on the aircraft ipad running RunwayHD this morning,including the passthrough of the GPS data, lots of commercial stuff, no GA, but the wx is awfull. Going to try a flight to N.Weald tomorow to see how it works in the air. Does anyone know if you can configure the colour of the traffic arrows on R.WayHD?
-
Thanks Ubi - I posted before I read your post.
I have run up your Simulator, and set it to send GPS via 192.168.0.100 port 2001 UDP, but it seems the PAW will not connect to my home network via the RJ45 connector even with home network set 192.168.0.1 (router) and subnet 255.255.255.0. It just doesnt show up in connected devices, so I guess will never see my PC running Easysim.
Any suggestions to make my PAW visible on home network?

To run PAW on your PC as a ground station, see the thread http://forum.pilotaware.com/index.php/topic,115.0.html

Aha - all sorted now, hardware issue with RJ45, all resolved and providing you have a program on PC to make use of the NMEA data you can plot it all.##
Now I wonder if you can send NMEA info into Google maps ???
