German Specific Forum / GSM and iPad mini4
« on: November 22, 2024, 05:33:42 pm »
I've been running my Rosetta with an iPhone SE as data up link as per my earlier post. I've decided to use an iPad mini4 to do everything. The problem is that when I try set up the hot spot, the iPad drops the WiFi to the Rosetta with a message that Safari can not open the hot spot as it's  not connected to the Internet. Any ideas?

Hi, here's an update of progress to date.
I brought a brand new, El Cheapo, android phone with android 14 go version on it. Google app store said not compatible with phone. Unpacked phone from Amazon 17:00 hrs, repacked and back at carrier, 19:00.
Visited  brother in law, who's an iPhone fan,  down loaded update in 5 minutes. Latest software release installed.
Had breakfast with mates this morning one of which has an iPhone SE 2020. Set up Rosetta in carpark and hey presto,  4 greens.
Went to phone shop, brought iPhone SE 2020 for £90, and 4 greens
Moral of story, buy a cheap iPhone to use purely as data link.

General Discussion / Cooling
« on: July 20, 2024, 03:17:18 pm »
As a newbie to Pilotaware and this forum, I have a question? As a computer hardware engineer in the days before it was called IT, our biggest enemy to reliability was heat. So why is there a label, the disclaimer notice, across all the airvents on the removable cover. This covers the GPS module and the iGrid dongle, both major heat sources. There are two openings, one topside main case and the other, underside lower case, the lower opening is acceptable under the GPS module and fits a 3007 fan ( 30mm x 30mm x 7mm )which would (does) aid cooling. Any comments?

Hi Peter, firstly, I checked my GSM signal, and I'm  only getting 2 bars at home, which is where I've been setting up the Rosetta. I have tried my S3 (small enough to fit on the instrument panel) and have used the iGrid IP, and have now got the rainfall function on radar. So I guess I'm getting iGrid even if it only shows orange on the GSM. I won't be able to test fully until the weekend,when I can  get down to the airfield.
Thanks for  everybody's assistance.

Hi Lee, I have had the unit running without the GSM dongle and the GPS has worked correctly, and  when I've powered it up at home with the dongle fitted, the GPS seems to work okay. The radar changes to my local area.

Just tried something while playing with my S5, running on thevhotspot. I typed in the IGtid ip address and it gave me a radar page but still with an orange GSM.

Hi Steve and Lee,
I've fitted a juicebitz power cable and it voltage error appears to be clear.
I have taken some screenshots of the pages Lee wanted to see and have included radar as well.

Hi, firstly I'm new to the forum, so Hello.
I have just brought a Rosetta, all be it used, and have had it transfered over to me snd I have just renewed the licence.  In order to get the full benefits of the system I have fitted the iGrid dongle,  from PAW, and all I get is the Orange waiting to connect light.
 I am using a Samsung 20 Ultra running Android 13, the hot spot is showing android AP and it has connected firstly to another S20 and also a S5. I have checked the software updates and my Rosetta is on the latest one.
Any ideas? Also when I fit the dongle, I get voltage errors, I'm using an Anker 20,000.mA battery pack.
