Technical Support / External antenna gps - ok to mount on an aluminium bracket?

« on: March 26, 2024, 02:08:56 pm »

Hi there;

Fitting the external antenna kit, thinking of mounting the gps mouse on an alu bracket with it oriented “as normal”, beneath a rear window, and otherwise a distance away from metal. Will this work? Is it ok if it is on a small aluminium plate? Or will it degrade gps performance?

Thanks for advice

Martin

Technical Support / Re: iGrid no longer “going green”

« on: November 05, 2023, 04:17:00 pm »

An update on this. I think it’s ultimately working just the gsm data isn’t available as readily for whatever reason. Hence orange rather than green indication

Last flight it did ultimately connect but the data availability was patchy

I’ll keep an eye on it for any further clues of info

Thank you for the replies and feedback

Technical Support / iGrid no longer “going green”

« on: October 21, 2023, 08:59:03 pm »

Hi there;

I had iGrid working just fine up until beta forced an update (see my other recent thread)

Since then I’ve been unable to get iGrid to show a “green” GSM symbol (showing the connection working) on the radar page

Instead I’m only getting the “orange” GSM indication

On the network page a green connection to my iPhone hotspot is shown

Any ideas?

Thanks

Thank you for this

Checked the updates page via the PAW IP and sure enough there was reference to a beta update available to download. Didn’t realise I was subscribed to the beta programme but do have iGrid, but all good now I know what to do

Have successfully downloaded that beta via that page and will see how it behaves next time I fly, but suspect that may have sorted it, so thank you for the prompt and expert help as always

Kind regards

Hi there;

I use an iPhone 8 in the cockpit with PAW Virtual Radar displayed

It continuously shows the message “New Updates Are Available” across the radar display even though I have updated PAW using the firmware updater App

(It is a Rosetta)

Is there something else I need to update?

Thanks and regards

Technical Support / Re: iGRID - Two devices required?

« on: September 04, 2022, 03:49:06 pm »

As covered elsewhere in the thread; whether you need two devices or not is very device specific…

My iPhone 8 - ok - can act as hotspot while simultaneously connecting to pilotaware WiFi - 1 device ok

My friends iPhone 11 - ok - can act as a hotspot and connect to WiFi simultaneously

My iPhone 13 - not ok - cannot act as a hotspot and simultaneously connect to WiFi - 2 devices needed minimum

My iPad mini 2 - not ok - cannot act as a hotspot and simultaneously connect to WiFi

It then also depends on how many screens you want to drive…
In order to have SkyDemon on my ipad and pilotaware radar on my phone, I am going to have to carry 3 devices when flying, use the old iPhone as paw radar, ipad as SkyDemon, connect those to paw by WiFi, and have my current phone on 4g acting as hotspot… If only iPad mini 2 could split screen… …

Detail added in case useful to the paw team!

Should add that the previous “iGrid 2 devices needed?” thread helped me so thank you for that, I should have read it more thoroughly before starting a new thread

Ok. Answered my own question

Seems some quirk of the iPhone 8 meant it could act as host and client simultaneously whereas the newer iPhone 13 behaves more like the typical Apple behaviour and can’t do both at the same time

Frustrating

Means I’ll have to rework the way I use the devices in the cockpit

To expand on this…

I have successfully done all of the setup to connect the pilotaware to the phone hotspot

The phone will also separately connect to the pilotaware WiFi

The problem I have is that as soon as I connect pilotaware to the phone hotspot, my pilotaware page at 192.168.1.1 will no longer refresh (just shows safari internet not responding page) presumably because the connection to the phone hotspot has biffed the WiFi connection between pilotaware and phone…

I absolutely had it all working perfectly, green gsm tab etc on the old phone…

Technical Support / iGrid setup help

« on: September 03, 2022, 09:48:48 pm »

Hi there;

Can anyone help with an iGrid setup issue please?

I setup iGrid recently on an iPhone 8 using the instructions and all worked well

A couple of weeks later I upgraded my phone to an iPhone 13 and now cannot reconnect this new device

The issue is that when I connect to the hotspot it drops me off the PAW WiFi so I can’t load the network page to search for and connect to the hotspot

When I connect the WiFi it warns me that the hotspot will switch off

I’m sure it didn’t do this during the setup on the old phone, which I found every simple and successful

What am I doing wrong?! I’m fairly tech savvy but I’m obviously missing something simple

Thanks!
