Technical Support / Intermittent Rosetta MicroUSB Power Socket

« on: January 04, 2023, 08:54:18 pm »

Hello,
I look to be suffering from a intermittent micro USB Power Socket on my Rosetta. What suggestions are there for alternative means of connecting power (I use an Anker Powerbank). It certainly doesn't feel good and if I wiggle things the Pi appears to go off/on - it is the socket on the Rosetta/Pi not the power lead at fault. I was thinking of adding a better style of power socket and soldering to the 40 pin header on the Pi (or the pins on the micro usb socket - but the header is easier!) Has anyone done this? Any advice? Reverse protection diode & thermal fuse?
Thanks,
Julian

Technical Support / Rosetta very hot and no GPS when iGRID dongle pugged it

« on: July 01, 2022, 08:04:28 pm »

Hello,
I received my iGRID USB module today - upgraded firmware in my Rosetta, plugged in the module and powered it up. iGRID connected to my hotspot OK. The Rosetta reported no GPS and it started to get hot around the USB sockets (with that subtle electronics getting hot smell!) - the Rosetta also reported a volts error. Turned off, removed the iGRID module and the Rosetta found GPS and appeared to work OK (detecting traffic, connecting to skydemon). I am using an ANKER powerpack with a very short (15cm lead). It is almost as if the Rosetta USB sockets cant provide enough power to feed another USB devices.
I dare not plug it back in, dont want to risk blowing up the Rosetta.
Anyone else with a similar issue?
Thanks,
Julian

Technical Support / PAW, OGN & FR24

« on: April 23, 2018, 08:49:24 pm »

I continue to be impressed with PAW running with Skydemon, well done all involved!

I have been within range of OGN Uplink sites in the general Sywell area and have registered on the OGN database, this looks to have worked as I have an entry on http://ktrax.kisstech.ch/cgi-bin/flarm-txrange.cgi?command=who (although I dont know "what possible duplicate" means), if this OGN registration has worked should I also be visible on FR24 (I have a business account via my FR24 receiver/feed) as I have yet to appear there?

Thanks,
Julian

General Discussion / License situation if I upgrade my Pi

« on: February 19, 2017, 09:03:23 pm »

Hi,
I have a self built PAW with the original PiB+ but with one of the new Bridge units. I am looking at upgrading to a Pi 2B. Will I require a replacement license or is the license linked to the Bridge?
Thanks,
Julian
