Technical Support / Re: Rosetta "await radio start"
« on: August 11, 2021, 09:24:42 pm »
it's a Rosetta
will check the bridge is properly seated
as mentioned above, it does seem to be working now, but no harm in checking
thanks :)

Technical Support / Rosetta "await radio start"
« on: August 11, 2021, 05:01:07 pm »
flew to Gloucester today PaW / SkyDemon worked fine
couldn't connect SkyDemon for flight back :(
took the unit home
powered it up here
can connect to unit over its WiFi, but still can't connect SkyDemon
logging shows "(14:02:09) MAIN    : Await Radio Start"
note the actual time is 16:59!!
is something broken?
how do I fix it?
what else do you need?
thanks

Technical Support / Re: Track Logs written to SD card
« on: July 15, 2020, 08:50:54 am »
I'm less worried about losing (up to) 5 minutes of taxi log
more worried about nuking the card by powering off during a write
(see my other thread about that happening!)

I have a spare pi so will look at a power off solution using GPIO3 (pin 5)

how do I open a Rosetta case to get to the GPIO connector?

hmm
what's the best way to avoid powering off during a write then?

Technical Support / Track Logs written to SD card
« on: July 14, 2020, 05:07:17 pm »
A general query
when does PilotAware actually write the track log to the SD card?
I ask as it my habit to power off my Rosetta (along with all the other avionics) before I shutdown the aircraft

would be a shame if that's exactly when the track log was being written away!

well put it this way
a) I used my iPhone to browse to 192.168.1.1
b) hit refresh ("are you sure?" "yes dammit")
c) config info showing, complete with updated license key

it was a fresh install of 20190621 onto a virgin 16Mb SD card

iPhone is correctly showing me on the ground at home!

I just wondered how!

but basically a happy bunny as Rosetta working and new shiny license also working :)
thanks for support

nope!
I wonder if the "hot with no card" was caused by the unit being hot after using the faulty card

second step forward
downloaded latest shiniest software
installed

it seems to have automagically remembered all my settings!
how'd it do that?

one small step . . .
I had a spare SD card with NOOBS on it
gave that a whirl, with TV/HDMI connected
magic
all powered up and working
so looks like the Rosetta is intact
the original SD card, not so much :(

next step then is to install latest software
standby

good feedback there
lots of points
a) I only removed the card with Rosetta powered down
b) it's powered in the aircraft by a USB power panel (don't know the brand)
c) powered at home with a pi power unit 5V 2.5A
d) yup gets VERY HOT when powered up with no card
e) will try powering up with HDMI connected, but will download latest software first as card is totally inoperable
f) didn't leave Rosetta powered up while parked at Gloucester

if none/all of the above are unsuccessful, I'll contact Ash
might as well get some more diagnostics first!

cheers

more information
tried to read the SD card in USB card reader
nothing
now looks like the card reader is dead as well

I'm gonna stop trying things now before I kill anything else!

Technical Support / RESOLVED: Rosetta stopped working and getting HOT! - now sorted
« on: July 12, 2020, 05:47:32 pm »
flew to Gloucester today
first flight since February
Rosetta fine all the way there
came to fly back, couldn't connect
thought it might have got too warm in the sun
took the unit home, tried there
nothing
tried to take the SD card - it was red-hot!
then tried powering up without a card
Rosetta still gets very hot very quickly

would tell you version and unit number, but I can't connect to it, of course!

aha - from the renewal - The software key for your unit with MAC address B827EBB49A89 is : 5D9F-25F6-EA6D-C190

any wise words?
cheers
