Technical Support / License renewal and Pi Upgrade

« on: May 18, 2017, 05:01:00 pm »

Hi guys - I have just renewed my license (associated with my old Pi B MAC address) and then changed my Pi to the new Pi 2 model, and of course this has a different MAC address, and does not recognise the new license, help!
Thanks
Rick

Mike - this is the one that worked for us!

Lee - just to close out my interference issue, you were absolutely right of course, it was the plug in USB power supply. By trial and error, I have now found one that works fine with no interference. Thanks for the help!

Lee  - it’s a white noise effect, and  it was a USAMS twin port charger, one of these:

We have only connected the PAW to this one which I bought because of the higher current requirement.
I will try sorting out a battery supply to check that out too. We also have 2 12v sockets in the aeroplane, and have another (different) usb charger in the other one which drives an Aware gps. What I should have done is to switch the chargers, and see if the USAMS one causes the same interference when connected to the Aware. I will check this out the next time I fly!

Do you have a recommendation for a good USB charging socket?

Thanks
Rick

Had our first flights over the past couple of weekends with the ADSB PAW, and we have also had consistent interference on all the frequencies we used. We have powered it via a 12v socket hard wired in the aeropane, and then a plug in USB (3.1A) power supply, and having unplugged various components in turn, it seems clear that it is the PAW that is causing it and not the lead or power supply. More of a nuisance than anything, but still a bit annoying. I have used the same cheap plastic box as in the instructions, maybe metal will help?
