General Discussion / Re: Best settings to reduce clutter

« on: April 25, 2023, 07:38:16 am »

Thanks for the info. hadn't though the settings we're 'display' specific specific. . I have two potentials. One is SkyDemon which I knew how to adjust. 

Other is Dynon SkyView which in its menu has the range/height settings. 

Was more wondering what settings people had tweaked theirs too. What seems optimum for an average 100-110 knot aircraft. Not aerobatic, not speed racing, staying down beneath 5000 most of the time. Was just thinking king to learn from those who have gone before. Save many flights tweaking from a standard staring point.

Cheers

General Discussion / Best settings to reduce clutter

« on: April 21, 2023, 07:06:36 am »

Was wondering what people have found to be best settings for an average 110knot GA aircraft. (Sportcruiser )  rarely fly above 5000' bimble around at around 90-100knots.

Don't want or need to see airliners , especially thousands of feet above me.  Really just looking for other GA aircraft that are in my vicinity or will be soon.  I know PAWs not a TCAS but that's what I think most of us want it there for. To let folks know, and to be informed there is a threat.

Attached is current settings. Would be interested in comments from fellows who have had there's a while and have a happy balance.

Cheers

The iGrid was set at 57600. My bad as instructions clearly say Auto. I think it was becasue I had changed the PAW onto that port at some time during my battle.  Amazing how something so simple can be the cause of so much pain. I was spending all time concentrating on the main PAW setup, not considering the iGRID.

Woo Hoo  It Works!

Didnt make any physical changes, update Sktview HDX to the new firmware, updated PAW to the latest. Then turned the igrid PAW port to automatic. Once everything rebooted PAW came alive. So I cannot say which of teh above did teh trick. All my formware is regularly updated, so its not like I was on archaic versions.
Dont care - it works. Thanks all for trying to help over these painful months.

Well it never worked. Done exactly as I stated, and as it was confirmed to be correct.
Now defo have the right authentic 'USB to bare wire'cable direct from RS.
Still Nada.  Just noticed another post saying similar with the iGrid wifi installed. I have that in as well. Going to take that out tomorrow and try again.
Cheers

Thanks everyone, apologies if I messed anyone about by posting twice. I was getting really confused as I had followed the original advice and bought the cable with the D9 connector attached.  I have however today managed to get to aircraft and followed all the advice given and it's still not working so now wondering if I have a 'fake' cable. Just ordered the version with bare ends from RS. When that arrives I will connect the Orange cable straight to the Yellow/Violet Dynon RX Serial Port 2, and the black onto a spare Dynon D37 Black. The USB end of the cable will go into the lower middle USB (port 2) on PAW.

Then configure as advised setting PAW Port 2 to 'Flarm Out' and set initially 115,200 Baud IIRC), dropping to 57600 if I can't see anything.  I will configure Skydemon as  SERIAL IN DEVICE to FLARM TRAFFIC, the INPUT FUNCTION to TRAFFIC and the SERIAL IN/OUT BAUD RATE  to a minimum 0f 115,200  Baud ( and the SERIAL OUT DEVICE to NONE.

I think this is what you have all now advised,

Cheers
James

Got the cable  I know the pins on the Dynon EMS that are TX which I assume as it’s TX from Dynon it’s data in on PAW and opposite for RX.  Dynon has a bunch of grounds available on the EMS37 so will use one of those.  Assuming as you know the colours you chopped the end of the serial cable and directly connected.

I assume I use pins 7&8 serial port 3 from the Dynon D37 EMS harness. However I guess I need to wire them into a serial 9 port female RS232 so I can plug into the recommended USB / serial lead.

Thanks Paul. Will use the second usb on the Anker to power it. I have converted the Anker as per posts showing it becoming ‘hardwired’. Will make sure I have data on SIM lol.

Do you know the pin outs for the usb  to serial cable. I have the 2 TX/RX identified from the Skyview I  was wondering what pins on serial connector end I need to wire them into.

Technical Support / Mobile Dongle instead of iPhone

« on: September 25, 2022, 08:53:03 am »

I plan on fixed installation of PAW with serial connection to Dynon SkyView. Thus displaying all traffic on the SkyView map. So theoretically do not need my iPhone, or do I?

Was thinking of buying a 4/5g mobile dongle with its own data plan and plugging this into the PAW or the second USB on the Anker. Therefore using it as the mobile hotspot for iGrid. Assume that would work?

Would that also display the wx on the Dynon or do I still need an iPhone/iPad running SkyDemon for that?

I have Skyview HDX, GPS2020, SV-XPNDR. Looking to hard install a PAW. See back in 2019 you guys did this but with a couple future potential ‘wish list’ items.  Did these transpire or should I still do same as your posts discuss?
