Hi GrimShadow,
As Lee is now on the case and you seem convinced your problem is with the software side of things, he is by far the best person to advise you, so I will take a 'watching brief' on the side meantime.
As Lee says, getting the Pi to boot is the first priority before addressing anything else, though if as you say you are trying to 'prove the concept', you will really need to build two working units with 'Bridges' as the bridge is the core element of the PilotAware concept of 'See, Be Seen and Avoid' and is the only way to directly transmit and receive the essential 869MHz positional data between aircraft. Buying the Bridge is also currently the only way to obtain the relevant software licenses, which is probably what Dave and others meant when they said PilotAware won't now work without one.
Having been involved over a prolonged period, both as a user and development tester, I can assure you that the system works extremely well and is in my opinion worth every penny of its cost - and then some!
Regards meantime
Peter
