Am I really the one and only user in France ?

Thierry

I have a PA unit in the Gers (LFDH), but I have not used it in the air. I can pick up airliners quite well. I think it would be more useful in the Toulouse area as light aircraft are increasing being equipped with ADS-B mode S transponders. I see DA40s from Muret on FlightRadar24.
A bientôt

You might have a look at the Garrecht VT-2000 transponder, maybe a bit more expensive, but it is easy to use and mine accepted NMEA serial data from a Garmin GPS90. It fits in a KT76 rack and only needs a small solder bridge to connect the external GPS.

Yup, it says it has an ARMv7 and for hardware a BCM 2709. I'll spend the winter famliiarising myself with this and maybe next year you'll have a tweak. I am in no hurry.
Bon courage for all your good work

Aha, this may be the problem. I bought a package from China which included a 3.5" screen and a plastic case. Looking at my order it specifies it as a Raspberry Pi 2 model B, which I thought was the same thing.
Lost in translation I think.

I am in France and have a box to connect to the internet, which provides connections for a PC, a router and a satellite TV decoder. With those three plugged in, typing 192.168.1.1 displays the configuration, in my case Orange, and shows the three devices connected. If I unplug the router and plug in the Raspberry pi, it only detects its presence with the NOOBS microSD card. With the Pilotaware microSD card inserted, only the other two devices are shown.  Typing 192.168.0.100 fails to find anything.
I don't know how to capture the booting sequence, which I can see with the HDMI cable connected to my TV, but it scrolls too fast for me to notice anything bad, although I have seen a few red fails.

No I cannot see the Pilotaware hotspot from my PC wifi either. I will try and connect via the RJ45 cable and see if I can do a screen capture. The wifi dongle blue LEDS blink so something is working.

Hello
I have tried these two WiFi dongles which claim to be RT5370, but I cannot see any WiFi Pilotaware hotspot on various Android devices. The boot sequence appears normal. Any idea what I am not doing?
