Technical Support / Re: Problem Receiving FLARM With Rosetta in France

« Last Post by DY691 on April 02, 2024, 06:00:30 pm »

Thank you Steveu for your feedback
it doesn't seem to come from the antenna,I crossed the 2 antennas and the large antenna the one for 869.5 mhz put in place of the 1090mhz allows to receive adsb the PAW tab remains red even with the small antenna connected to the 869.5 mhz
my skills stop here and indeed a help to see if the internal module PAW is functional would be welcome .... thank you for your help

It appears the Playback program is having problems again.
After chosing a file, and uploading it, it sticks at 100%, and doesn't run the track replay.

I'm just bumping this in the hope that the Playback option will be repaired soon.

Red on P3i means no P3i is being received.

P3i will give you METARs, which is why there are no METARs.

Check the cable from the PAW to the P3i antenna. Are the antennas on the PAW itself, or are they internal/external ones? If the antenna is on the PAW, check it is seated properly.

Someone who knows the Rosetta better than I do will need to tell you how to check the P3i module itself...

Hello
I'm still having problems receiving flarms with my rosetta, but the PAW tab has turned red with P3I red and the barometer red too (see attached photos).
I can't access the metars either, but there's a radar image on the radar page.
I'm in the 20230316 version and I've also tried the beta version 20240205 same thing ...
If you have any idea how to get the information .... thank you in advance

Technical Support / Re: Just set up iGrid and get momentary voltage errors

« Last Post by exfirepro on April 01, 2024, 11:00:32 am »

Hi Kev,

Correct and they do usually work fine, - as you are seeing from the fact that you have iGRID running.

I'm not saying it won't, or isn't working, just that it is the 'new variable' in the setup, so the most likely to have resulted in the voltage error being displayed - unless you had voltage errors previously but just didn't notice them?

Try removing the dongle again (power down first - it's not good to swap WiFi dongles in or out with the system running), then reboot and see if the warning comes back. Then try gently wiggling the power lead at the microUSB connection - while monitoring the Home Screen for Voltage errors and also watching for the red power LED on the main board just below the P3i antenna socket - it's a bit difficult to see, but it (or at least the glow from it) should be visible through the slots at the side to the left of the power socket. The LED should stay solid red. Any dropouts or voltage error messages and you probably have a defective microUSB socket or cable. If this doesn't reproduce the fault, power down again and replace the dongle. If the error then returns it must be the dongle that is causing it.

Regards

Peter

Hi Peter,

I took a look at this thread which is why I salvaged the WiFi dongle from my PilotAware Classic.

http://forum.pilotaware.com/index.php?topic=2195.0

I was also under the impression that one of an incorrect chipset would simply not work for iGrid too.

So am a little confused now... easily done!

BUT I think that initially the RALINK 5370 were supplied for use as iGrid dongles, but now due to supply issues an alternative is offered that can't itself be used in a PAW Classic as the main Wi-Fi dongle ONLY iGrid.

I hardly used my PAW classic, so suspect the dongle hasn't had many hours of use.

But the new dongle may be worth a try.  Any ideas what chipset is in the new iGrid dongle as I have various ones at home.

Hi Kev,

While old 'Classic' WiFi dongles 'can' work as iGRID dongles, they use a different configuration to the newer dongles which are supplied specifically for that purpose. (Likewise the newer iGRID WiFi Connectivity Dongles will NOT work as primary WiFi dongles on PAW Classics.

My guess would be that although your old dongle appears to be working as an iGRID access dongle, it could well have degenerated in use (in the Classic) and be drawing higher than expected current, hence causing a reported drop in the PAW supply voltage, which will have knock-on effects as it is obviously throttling back the processor on the Pi. This is not unusual with older WiFi or SDR dongles that have had a lot of use.

Unfortunately the only way to tell for sure is to swap it out with another 'known good' dongle and see if the voltage errors go away.

My advice would be to buy and try one of the iGRID WiFi Connectivity Module dongles  available from the PAW Shop at https://www.pilotaware.com/product/igrid-wifi-connectivity-module

Please let us know if that resolves the issue.

Best Regards

Peter
