Is the reported loss of gps during replay always reproducible?
If so, I should be able to reproduce this in the same way

Yes, I was able to reproduce it couple times

Wifi drop would produce the message
Waiting for device

Sounds like back to square 1 without much idea What's behind the drop?

Track file available to download here: https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/00ajBHGmEW3fusWccY7G5PbNw#2022-06-09_15-14
Is there a manual re how to read it by the way?

Track file is for engineering purposes - not really user consumption
at no point does that track report a loss of GPS, look at the GPGGA / GPGSA messages

thx
Lee

so, does that mean that GPS Lost message was likely caused by wifi drop? It would have made 100% sense, but the fact that I get it even in playback makes me doubt...

Upload to Aircrew and play it back by dragging the the white button at the bottom of the frame:

https://aircrew.co.uk/playback/

did that as well actually... not skipped a bit there – at east the aircraft position was always visible... however in SD I got the message first time live and even in playback, which means probably that GPS drop was real?

Hi!


Just have been testing PAW at home, which I appreciate is the worst environment, but may be there is something about it... so, satellites view was 12, but view only 3.

I have done a full playback and was watching SD on iPad and Home page from laptop. "GPS signal lost" message on iPad happened couple times (only about for a second though), but Home Screen GPS status has always been green and satellites use never dropped below 3.

in screenshot above uptime is 15 minutes and it shows connected, but no traffic... so GSM was orange. I was not watching it closely non-stop, so may be it started working on minute 16, but still a lot even if so... I was doing work meanwhile, so 20-30 minutes till I noticed it actually working for sure

PS
On the original question, still would really appreciate if Admins could advise if I get iGrid MLAT aircraft shown to me as normal (in radar tab and in SD) even if Mode S 3D is disabled?

One thing I was experiencing yesterday when again testing at home – in home page I could see hotspot connected and iGrid identified, but no G traffic in traffic screen and orange GS< tab in radar screen. Normally it means hotspot connection, but no internet... I was 100% sure internet was there and working (also tried home WiFi) without much luck. 30 minutes later it started working without any changes on my side...

Any idea what it might have been the reason?

thank you, will do! I tried one in the past actually and it worked ok, but I did get some issue eventually and removed it... But thought may be I could find something that actually suits. Will advise once test :-) Thanks again!

sorry, I mean for portable use :-D My PAW and power bank are both always in a bag, so I wanted to add a usb switch to outside of the bag, so I do not have to go inside to power up or to recycle power say...

Hi,

I know that power supply quality and cables is very important, so any tweaks need to be made very carefully, but may be somebody had luck using a USB switch, so that PAW could be easily switched on and off? If so, are there any recommendations/links to amazon you could share?

Thanks!
Alex

Hi Peter,

Thanks a lot for your reply! I have finally properly tested the system at home, and I am pretty sure I was seeing aircraft that weren't in range of the actual PAW. So, I guess PAW system should somehow just try to plot the most up to date location (GSM or direct from ATOM).

I used to have 3D disabled due to all the precautions that were posted about it, so I thought I would be safer looking out 360 degrees rather than look for exact location, but in a slightly wrong direction :-D

Best wishes,
Alex

Thank you! I will check. I remember trying to replay a file, replay not working and me deleting it… but it might have been a different one. Otherwise I’ll make sure to save the track if that happens again.

I’m actually quite keen to investigate the wifi matter as I have a feeling (and that one is super subjective) that whenever I replay I see more traffic in SD than in real life.

In general what would you recommend if find track files being perfectly ok? I have seen some recommendations in older threads to try use FLARM setting in SD instead of PAW due to it using TCP

not sure it is possible to place GPS mouse much further, but it is good 20cm now and 25-30 is probably best I can try... Could you please clarify what other side of what screen you referred to and what you meant by the pillar?

In general, I would be happy to give all your recommendations a go, but I am also quite puzzled by them as a normal Rosetta will have both antennas and GPS receiver much closer to each other within the main body and I guess your clients would expect it to work (subject to good placement of the GPS, which you can't make any better than the dashboard in an aircraft)

Thanks Dave.  Throttling needs to be resolved first. The USB leads don't last for ever in my experiance. I would try another high quality one first, as short as you can. I have also seen the ADSB dongle draw excessive power due to failure(but still report traffic). They do get warm, but if hot may be worth swapping that out.

Cheers
Ian

Hi Ian! Would you please be able to comment what are the options/solutions that I should try to fix the waiting GPS problem? Somebody else previously suggested it “could be hardware”, but that’s not giving a very good direction
