Technical Support / Re: iGrid Dongle - working or not?

« Last Post by exfirepro on August 12, 2025, 09:57:24 pm »

Hi Chris,

You say that you have a Hotspot configured, but the screenshots are telling me that there is no Hotspot available to your Rosetta. Was the hotspot definitely turned on on the relevant device (presumably your phone - unless you are saying that you have a sim in your Galaxy Note 3 Tablet - sorry, your post is very unclear on that point).

Did you check the settings on the PAW Network Screen to make sure the 4/5G Hotspot was on and being seen by your Rosetta and to make sure your Rosetta could connect to it?

Can you post screenshots of the network screen to show what is going on please.

Best Regards

Peter

Technical Support / Re: FX needs reconnecting to WiFi data source on each power up

Took a pic today of what it looks like a few mins after boot up, and after clicking the scan networks button. Manually need to click the Join button to get it to connect.

This is what it looks like after we click on Scan Networks, the the Join button against this SSID (I have renamed it from the default on the dongle)

Thanks for getting back to me. It’s a usb data-only 4G dongle with its own SIM card. Pic attached. It’s powered by a dedicated usb cable and not by the FX unit. I think it takes a few seconds longer to fully boot up than the FX unit so potentially its SSID is not visible to FX when FX powers up. However FX does not appear to keep scanning for known SSID’s and automatically connect if a previously registered one appears.

Technical Support / No Igrid connection - Resolved

« Last Post by Judd hadley on August 11, 2025, 03:50:34 pm »

Hello,
My FX will no longer connect to Igrid.
All lights green apart from hotspot which remains Blue. Im using a cellular Ipad mini 6 for both wifi and hotspot with no problems until recently. Ive tried the hotspot on both my Android samsung galaxy s22+ and galaxy s25 phones with the same outcome.
Today i took the FX down to my homebase at Barton which has an Atom station, and still no Igrid connection. I get a GPS lock if that counts for anything. Version installed 20250512.

Kind regards

Judd Hadley

Technical Support / iGrid Dongle - working or not?

« Last Post by Altomar718 on August 11, 2025, 03:16:10 pm »

I have an old Samsung Galaxy Note 3 which I thought of leaving in the aircraft. I have a Hotspot configured but on the 'Home Page' (192.168.1.1) and the box turns green, however, there is nothing written in the box. If I use my 'full time' phone it does show wlan and digits - is this normal as I do not know if it is actually connected to the grid ??

Thanks in advance

Fx will reconnect to the last known network IF it is present
Can I ask, what type of device you are trying to connect to ?
If it is an iPhone, the iPhone will
Only allow clients to connect, IF it is currently on its hotspot page

Technical Support / FX needs reconnecting to WiFi data source on each power up

Should the FX unit remember the SSID for its igrid data connection? On every power up, we need to
- go to the igrid status page
- tap the Scan for Networks button
- wait for the SSID for our 4G dongle to appear
- click the Join button (it does remember the passkey, so that does not need to be re-entered)

Is there any way for it to auto scan for WiFi networks and connect to one it recognises?

OGN-R PilotAware / Re: Groundstations U/S

No, it was a server crash during an update that corrupted many SD cards.

The PAW team are on to it but can't repair a corrupted card remotely. It's up to the ATOM station owner to re-format the card and download new software onto it. It's not a huge deal but mine is hidden in the loft and it was not as easy as some 

I am pleased to say mine is up and running again.

OGN-R PilotAware / Groundstations U/S

I notice, looking on VRS, a large number of Groundstations being reported as unserviceable.

Is this a heat issue, what with it being 31 degrees currently?
