Technical Support / Re: Weak P3i transmission?
« on: March 22, 2022, 07:47:10 am »
I'm wondering if the P3i connector has parted from the PCB? This is a weak area and prone to damage by a knock.

Good news.

Better start an Italian forum :-)

Is it possible to buy that case on it's own? Mine is an upgraded classic, and only has four fittings for the suckers close to the 3/8" camera mount. Not ideal

Cheers
Ian

Just plug it in, the controller is more for those using it as a TV

I prefer the original Home screen.

Please make it a selectable choice?

You can pop a USB GS into a spare port for testing (with a clear view of the sky). Perhaps you still have the supplied one?

Dos anyone have a raccomended USB to RS232 cable to use with a Funke TRT800H, available on Amazon?
The cable you want is USB-RS232-WE-1800-BT_0.0. I can only find one seller on Amazon and they are double the usual price! There are similar sounding cables all over the internet, but have heard that they are not always what you expect.
I would recommend buying for one of the reputable name like RS, Farnell etc. The cheaper cable may work, but I cannot guarantee they will.

Hi Mike,
Yes, set it to Funke Transponder.

The USB Ports on the PAW Classic and Rosetta are numbered.....

Ethernet    Port 1    Port 3
Ethernet    Port 2    Port 4

Note that Funke transponders may need firmware updates to function correctly  :(

OGN-R PilotAware / OGN Reporting glitch
« on: October 31, 2021, 09:14:03 am »
Was there a glitch in the system on Sat 30th at 10:32?

I got an email from each from my stations both being reported offline for 72 minutes and the same time slot. Unlikely to be the stations.

Cheers

Frank, Can you show us screenshots of the home pages and status page of your PAW?

Not sure that the times are relevant. The Pi does not have a Real Time Clock(RTC) and battery. IIRC after booting it talks to the satellites and will then set its self. Until then  it has no idea what the time is. and will use a default date and time.

Can you supply a screenshot of the config page after it has been running for a while in view of the sky?

Technical Support / Re: No METAR/TAF
« on: July 20, 2021, 08:39:33 am »
Vector for your aircraft shows no ADSB, FLARM or Mode-S, yet shows some CAP1391. It also shows PilotAware.

So your PAW is transmitting P3I on 869Mhz, but possibly not receiving(No FLARM or METAR).
On the 1090Mhz dongle it only receives CAP1391, now that is odd unless there is no other traffic about, or you also have a SkyEccho2?

1st thing I would check is your power supply. Does it meet the requirements?
Can you provide a screenshot of the home page after it has been running a while, outside and away from buildings?
