Sounds like the WiFi dongle is on it's last legs. I have had a couple fail. They can get hot, especially if adjacent to the SDR module.

Did you read Ians review? In my opinion it under performed for a correctly set up PAW. Which is part of the problem. Too many people are not setting up or installing the units (all types) to optimise them.

Any thoughts on where this is going and the impact on PilotAware?

Christmas Cheers

David, Lee will need the relevent track file from your PAW for each of those flights. You may need to host them somewhere(like DropBox) as they can be large.

Wasn't aware you had iGrid. If it worked after adding the iGrid, then don't swap anything around.

ADSB dongles are SDR Radio dongles. when these fail they can draw high currents and pull down you PAW causing intermitant or even full failure of the PAW. Suggest you remove it to see if your GPS returns to working normally.

If that makes no change, it is possible the GPS reciever has failed.

When you removed that cover to plug in the RS232 cable and GPS cable there was another dongle plugged in with a thin coax cable connected. That is the ADSB dongle. Make a note of which socket.

Was your Rosetta only supplied with the USB mouse on the long cable?

No I am not refering to the USB to serial cable adaptor which will connect to your trig.
I don't know what version you have, so cannot describe it. It is the USB dongle that has the shorter antenna attached to it. If you do remove it and the PAW works for GPS position, it will not show ADSB or mode S traffic, but this is just a test.

Just change the GPS, it seems to happen often enough to soon find out if that is where the issue is. Watch out for failing ADSB dongles as well as they can draw enough current to cause outages

Signed up, but suspect I may be on the list already.

Yes, there is or was a CHANGELOG.txt in the zipped package. As I have been using the App on my phone for a while, I have not downloaded the full package recently.

Technical Support / Re: Incorrect GPS position sent to Trig TT22
« on: September 17, 2022, 08:25:43 am »
David, That is the correct cable and you should not need any additional wires than the ground and data out. Ground to ground and the 'out' will go to the 'in' of the second serial port. Nothing fancy, just poking wires into holes will do.
The idea is to get a log of the messages and note the position given in the strings IIRC there is more than one. This should match your GPS location. If it does then the TRIG is the issue, if not the PAW has a problem.

Are SD and TRIG reading the same message string?

No time today, but may test my own tomorrow.
