Hi Lee, on this topic, I was one of the Beta testers and my old key has just expired, anyhow just ordered a new bridge with licence, do I start afresh or use my old details to register the new key ?

Yes, I did the previous update no problem on a new card, I'll give it another go and try another formatting programme although I am using the recommended one.

Cheers

Anyone had trouble installing the last update ? formatted and downloaded the image 3 times now and when the card is put into the PAW I get a FAT error, any ideas ? you can continue the install but locks up part way in.

Don't want to stand on any ones toes here, but I don't see how signal strength can be reliable, as being a radio ham I know that atmospheric conditions affect radio propagation greatly, just a thought.

Just run the unit today and I am seeing a +7mb difference on East Mids QNH, hopefully going to try it in the aircraft tomorrow, also managed to get hold of a hobby craft version, I'll see how the Ardfruit plays out before I swap it.

Further update Lee, Got the QNH from east mids driving home 1011, PAW 1015mb 4 mb difference, I suppose 120' isn't too bad for something costing us £9.00

Hi Lee
Its been running an hour or so with SD sitting in the window at work, reading 1015 at the mo and ties in with our calibrated standard baro within a few mbar, work is on the southern end of the peak district seen plenty of traffic reported by the paw and ties in with flight radar 24, nothing seen on the ARF but not a surprise there I suppose.

cheers

Nick.

Hi Lee

should this just be plug and play or does something need configuring, status page still reads 1013 after fitting the board, got the ardfruits board with the 5v  supply.

Hi Folks
I was running an old version of sd, mistakenly thought it updated with the chart updates. left it running in the living room last night for a couple of hours, showing plenty of traffic around the east mids air space. so  far so good. cheers guys

Thanks again

Nick.
