OGN-R PilotAware / Static Object Near ATOM Station

« on: March 01, 2021, 08:11:53 am »

Hi there,

I am having some issues with a permanent static object.
It is constantly at my site, speed 0kmh, altitude ground level.
Funny enough it is picked up by an OGN Station 20miles away.
It is visible on all glider tracking website. But not on the local atom traffic screen.

Any ideas?

Kind Regards
Patrick

OGN-R PilotAware / Atom Grid Power via Ethernet / Antenna interference / Antenna Selection

« on: December 07, 2020, 08:02:01 pm »

Hi there,

Sorry if I am opening up a thready which already exists. But I couldn't find an appropriate answer.

Because of various restrictions I am bound to use power via Ethernet. Which cable/make can you recommend without suffering lowvoltage?
Kind regards

OGN-R PilotAware / OGNR with WiFI

« on: November 22, 2020, 08:19:29 am »

Hi there,

On my journey to install more OGNR stations I came across an airfield that has great WiFi coverage but no options to lay an ethernet cable to an OGNR ground station.

Question: what do I have to do to get the OGNR connected to the local WiFi?

Kind regards,

Technical Support / PAW - ATOM Grid Station Reception

« on: October 22, 2020, 12:59:37 pm »

Hi there,

seeking for advice:

I am flying a C172 with PAW onboard (as most know linked up with a Powerflarm).

The Receptions air to air, especially from the Flarm is pretty good. That is mostly due to the FLARMBooster, that boosts the Flarm reception. However the sending part of flarm signal is just let thru, and is not boosted, since that is against the law. The Flarmbooster has also a filter install, so the noise is not boosted (It operates between 865 + 875mhz)

My Target:

I would like to improve PAW -> Atom Grid Station Reception, since I am living in Germany and there are not yet enough stations. My objective is to see Mode S traffic as a bearing.

Idea:
I would boost the reception of the PAW Antenna, so it can receive an Atom Grid Signal better. The sending part of the PAW will be untouched/unboosted.

Question:
Is boosting the PAW Reception enough? I can't make sense on my own, when Mode S MLAT Traffic is being rebroadcasted to PAW. Does it need a Signal / trigger from a PAW deviceor just a receiving connection to a PAW to upload Info?


Thanks for your help!

Kind Regards,

Patrick

Technical Support / Add External LED's

« on: September 27, 2020, 05:47:34 pm »

Hi there,

short question: is there a way to add external led's to a Rosetta? I use it in a contained box and would like to see if it functioning correctly / or minimum if it is still on.

Normally the GPIO is used, but I guess it's blocked by the bridge, or isn't it?



Kind regards,

Technical Support / Project: PAW Rosetta+Flarmbat+3D Printed Box

« on: September 25, 2020, 09:54:44 am »

Hi all,

Forums live from people receiving and equally sharing. So after receiving lots of information from you (especially Ashley,Keith and Peter/ExfirePro) its time for me to share the result of my little project:

Goal: Build a EC carry on device for a SEP (Cessna 172), that can receive/send and that is compatible with Skydemon. + Flarm Direct was a requirement.

Timeline: Idea born to completion 3 months. 

Parts:
- PAW Rosetta
- Flarmbat (Powerflarm), 10h internal battery
- 2xJetvision Flarm Booster (to increase the Flarm reception)
- Powerbank Anker 10.000 Redux
- Cables: Juicybitz USB to MicroUSB + FTDI USB-RS232-WE-1800-BT 0.0
- Flarm+PAW are SUPERFANT Antennas.
- Self Printed 3D Case


Solution:
The Flarmbat sends FLARM and GPS to Rosetta via RS232 Cable.
The PAW Rosetta picks ups ADSB/ModeS/P3I and relays also the Flarmbat results to Skydemon
The Powerbank powers the PAW Rosetta. The Flarmbooster needs 60mA @ 5V-18V and is powered by one PAW USB output. The Flarmbat has 10h of internal battery life.
The Flarm Antenna is on a 1m cable and placed at the top of the windshield, the second Flarm antenna is on a 3m cable and placed with a suction cup in the middle of the read window.
The PAW Antenna was replaced by a SUPERFANT Antenna to reduce obscurance and is directly mounted to the device via SMA.
All works flawless, stable Flarm range with internal antennas in a metal body A/C is allround 15km. PAW Range to be analysed, but looking good


Important to me, that everything is in a contained box, therefore I printed a 3D case. Pictures attached.
I will upload pictures of installed unit in the A/C soon.

If further infos/pictures are out of interest, just reply and will try my best to provide asap.

So bottom line: Thanks to ExfirePro, Ashley, Keith and especially my dad, who put in lots of hours and clever ideas a successful project!

Kind Regards,
Patrick

OGN-R PilotAware / How to change position and name of OGN-R

« on: August 31, 2020, 06:21:25 pm »

Hi there,

if I decide to move the location of an atom grid (e.g. because the location is not that good for coverage) how do I do that in an easy way?

Lat and long, height of antenna and station name would need to be changed.

Kind regards,

Patrick

Technical Support / Connect PAW with Powermouse

« on: June 29, 2020, 07:00:13 pm »

Hi there,

I am from GER and completely new to the scene. I want to support PAW with multiple stations in the NW of Germany and as a pilot use PAW up in the air.

Since ground coverage is not (yet) the best, I would like to connect PAW with the powermouse (flarmmouse successor). I read the instructions on how to connect to the old flarmmouse.

Questions:
Has anyone connect PAW to powermouse?
What is different to the setup w/ flarmmouse?
Do I still need a splitter or is it a direct connection?
Does it work well in real life?

Thank you very much for your help.

Patrick
