Technical Support / Re: Shorter aerial

« on: July 05, 2019, 07:43:28 pm »

Hello
Yes that’s the one I mean. The measurement is from the point where the whip enters the base or from “table top” level?
Is there any benefit of getting the New style one?

Is it possible to buy the half length aerial mentioned in the installation guide or do we just cut the one supplied to size?

Upgrade to latest patch is on my to do list - excited about the MLAT/3D stuff!

I've asked Tim Dawson to consider switching to ipad's onboard Location Services if Wifi fails but he didn't want to do this. They have however agreed to put in a patch which will "auto-restart" logging when wifi is available again. Obviously that only works when app is brought to foreground

Hi Guys,

This isn’t a new scenario and is definitely an Apple issue. SkyDemon has always disconnected on the iPad if you change to a different app in flight. In the early days of using and developing PAW, I found that the only way to reduce the likelihood was to ‘double-click’ the Home Key when changing between apps - e.g. between SD and Safari - which I needed to do pretty much all the time during PilotAware testing. This seemed to keep SD running in the background rather than shutting it down and when it was brought back to the ‘front’ by ‘double-clicking’ the iPad Home Key and re-selecting SD, it was still running fine.

I have to say, I haven’t had any issues recently (running the Betas of both the latest PAW and SD iOS software) on an iPad Mini 2 and an iPad Mini 3 running in parallel over many hours of testing.


Using this method I get 5 minutes of SD in the background before it disconnects.
I run GolzeADL weather and also have JeppMD for approach plates so have need to switch away from SD, in particular at the approach phase.
Regards

Peter

Yes.
But fairly annoying problem when it does happen. In particular I fly with other IFR related apps too!

I have progressed this with SD support and they’ve stated that because the iPad connects to PaW over WiFi they cannot do anything about it (WiFi Connection killed by IOS when in background mode)

So ball back in PaW court to look for a workaround?

Can anyone check on iPhone of it does the same - I’m sure it worked fine but I can check again.

I’ve posted on SD forum but so far they’re not being helpful.

There’s a setting in IOS called “Background App Refresh” which looks like it should “solve” the issues but SD doesn’t shown up as an app you can select for it in the settings pages.

Perhaps. You can flag it to always use location in background but suppose it may not do the same with WiFi
However it works fine on on the iPhone

I can't make it that easy for you :-)

Ipad mini 4
iOS 12.3.1
SD 3.12.6.183

I've tried it on Iphone 6s, iOs 12.2 and it seems fine.

I was wondering if you can help - I'm being bounced between various people to find the answer!

I have SD using PilotAware as GPS source all running on Ipad Mini ios12

If i minimise skydemon (switch apps or go to home screen) after about 5 mins (reproducible consistently and even at home when not flying) it will lose the GPS/Wifi from PaW. It comes up with the "no signal received for some time..." message

I'm pretty sure its a PaW problem, as when i use the IPAD internal GPS and switch SD to background, SD still works fine, so I think its something to do with the wifi connection to PaW

I dont know what you relationship is with the SD team but can you tag team a solution?

Technical Support / Using SD and JeppFD concurrently - drop out

« on: June 09, 2019, 01:23:57 pm »

I’ve run PaW and SD no problems. Having recently installed JeppFD I find that when I switch between the apps, the GPS connection drops out. I run SS Using PAW wifi and connect SD using PaW not Location Services. 
JeppFD doesn’t give an option of what GPS source to use.

Any ideas.

General Discussion / Re: Skydemon + PAw, simultaneous audio output

« on: April 25, 2019, 06:33:25 pm »

For anyone coming across this thread until SD work their magic with my Feature request.......

my compromise solution has been to pipe the output from the PaW voice/audio into a passive mixer (belkin 5 way splitter) along with a bluetooth receiver which is paired to my Ipad, running skydemon. SD is set to show bearingless contacts but with traffic off.

The mixed feed then goes into the my garmin GNA audio panel on the self-muting audio line. Seems to work ok as the line levels are broadly well matched and dont appear to over-drive each other.
