Technical Support / “Waiting for Device” in SD, intermittent.
« on: May 26, 2020, 09:37:35 pm »
I have a PAW Rosetta. IPad Pro running Skydemon (both up to date).
Every so often during flight the iPad shows “Waiting for device” and I lose position information.
Often it reconnects automatically after a moment. Sometimes it takes longer, and I resort to kickstarting it by hitting “stop navigating” then “go flying” again, and it reconnects, which is less than ideal if during a critical phase of flight.
Today I tried running two tablets together - cheap Android (Samsung Tab) and the IPad.
I got the disconnects on the iPad but not the Android tablet.
This has been happening for some time, and previously very helpful PaW support have soldered the power cable in (to eliminate loose usb connection as cause).
I have connection type set to Pilotaware(UDP).
I also tested at home, and it never drops out With IPad sitting on the kitchen table, And PAW 20ft away in the garden. Could it be something to do with the aircraft environment, but why specific to IPad?. Maybe because IPad is also maintaining Bluetooth connection to GTN750 audio...could it be struggling to do both things at the same time? I guess I could try without the GTN connection to see if that makes a difference, I can’t remember whether I’ve done that before and still had the issue.
I can supply track logs from today’s flight if that would help,
Many thanks
