General Discussion / Re: Dosnt work after loading latest version.

Hello Lee

I am having the same issue after loading latest version.
The licence key and hex code have been re-entered, but it still shows licence expired.
Key and code are still showing after a reboot.

General Discussion / Re: Lack of contacts

Found the problem!

The aerial supplied with the DVB dongle had failed.
When I took the bottom off the aerial the centre wire of the coax had broken off.
As supplied there is nothing securing the cable and it is free to move in, out and around, may be worth a dab of hot glue if you have the time.
Back to getting traffic from Stoke in the South to the Isle of Man and Leeds in the North. (Based in St Helens)

Everything seems to be working and all components recognised by the web interface.
However the number of aircraft displayed has dropped considerably and now only appear when very close.
The ADSB sentences total keeps building during a test session, as do the GPS sentences (TCP).
I live 9 miles to the NE of Liverpool Airport and frequently have inbound aircraft overhead on their way in.
I have noticed the drop since the 20150919 software was applied, were there any changes made that would explain this or is there anything I can do to resolve it?
Previously I was picking up commercial aircraft as far down South as Stoke and over to Leeds.

MPL 3115A2 added and seen in the web interface, status changes to on when go flying is selected.
When will the next update of the software be issued?

General Discussion / WiFi issues

« on: September 18, 2015, 12:37:39 pm »

Hello

I appear to be having WiFI issues with my setup.
I have tried two USB WiFi dongles from the PiHut.
Both have worked for a period of time and then appear not to work now.
Attached is a screenshot of where it currently freezes and the red light on the dongle at that point.
Yesterday it went past this stage to where it was asking for the licence key, but no device was able to get a WiFi connection to the PilotAware, Nexus, Ipad and IPhone.

Any suggestions would be very welcome.

regards

As you are aware many of my issues were due to power.
I have bought these items on Amazon and all appears to be OK.
Using these the PilotAware ran for a full 9 hours before the WiFI dropped out.

It is supplied with a short USB to micro lead.
Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 10000 mAh Dual-Port Portable External Battery Fast Charger (5V/1A + 5V/2.4A 9V/1.8A 12/V1.5A, 2.0A for iPhone and iPad, 2.4A for Android, Quick Charge Input and Output)-Black £16.99

PortaPow Specialised 30 cm 20AWG TPE Fast Charge with Data Block Micro USB Cable (Pack of 2) £6.99

Hope this helps.

General Discussion / How do I activate the FLARM function in Simulate mode

« on: September 16, 2015, 09:40:52 pm »

I am going to the airfield tomorrow and would like to show all there, Pilot aware and how it works.
I did see it demonstrated in the simulate mode at the LAA rally.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks

It looks like the Wi-Fi dongle has failed.
Fortunately I bought two at the same time, I have tried it with the second one and the boot now completes.
The first one had only been used for 5 hours maximum.

I have also sent a request for a licence code.

Hello Lee

Finally got it all sorted and working yesterday, better power supply , could connect with IPad and Nexus no problem.
Disconnected the Nexus and left the pilot aware running whilst I went out for a few hours. Tried to reconnect the wireless with both devices but it didn't show up.
Reformatted the card and copied the files over, fired up the Pi again but it stops at the same point. Picture attached.

Hello

Have assembled all the bits, confirmed connections and voltages.
SD card formatted using app and copied over latest package.
Loaded up the apps in the order given.
SD allows me to select FLARM (6000 in setup)

But I see nothing shown on the SD display on an Ipad or Nexus when I click on Go Flying - use FLARM.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

regards

Steve
