Technical Support / Re: Rosetta Startup Failure

« on: January 30, 2019, 05:16:50 pm »

Hi Peter/Alan,

Thanks for getting back to me

As suggested, today I took the Rosetta unit outside (all previous tests indoors) – and somewhat to my surprise, it started perfectly normally with 5 green status indicators. Initially, the GPS dropped out a couple of times, but once it had captured 6-7 satellites - it remained stable

The previous GPS dongle on the classic units was quite happy operating indoors on a window ledge – so the Rosetta version must operate quite differently

Anyway, I can now move on and try it in the actual aircraft. Many thanks for your help in sorting out this issue.

Regards,
Barry

Technical Support / Rosetta Startup Failure

« on: January 29, 2019, 03:52:53 pm »

I recently had my Classic PilotAware unit upgraded to a Rosetta and have encountered a number of problems. Initially, when I first received the unit – it started ok, but subsequently the start times got longer (eg. 7-9 mins) and currently the device fails to start at all – with the log just showing multiple ‘Await Radio Start’ messages.

At present , the startup/boot sequence proceeds as follows:
-   After 90 secs: WiFi comes alive and home page interface status shows WiFi and ADS-B  as Green, TRX and Press Alt show red and GPS is orange
-   The log displays ‘Await Radio Start’ every 2 secs and never gets any further

I would add that I’m using the recommended Anker Powercore 5.2V power pack with the supplied cable.

Any help/suggestions in getting this unit up and running would be very welcome.
