Hi Darren,
Sorry to come late to this thread - I just got back from holiday last night.
A few comments / questions to help me (and the others) get our heads round what exactly is going on here ...
1. I see you are still using your PAW Classic, which Lee sorted the WiFi connectivity issue out on for you at Popham Last Year (2018).
2. We had a brief exchange back in March about software versions and I note that you are still running the version 20180520 software (which was still the latest at that time). There is a new version now available (version 20190620) but it requires a full manual update by adding a fresh copy to a new microSD card and then reconfiguring to match your existing, or you can buy it preloaded on a microSD card from the PilotAware.com website, but will still need to reset your Licence Key and other configuration settings if you decide to go down this route.
3. I presume you are still running SkyDemon on your iPad Mini 4 - but note that you now appear to be using ‘PilotAware’ rather than ‘FLARM’ Connectivity’ (probably at Lee’s suggestion from 2018).
4. We had a further brief exchange in March regarding a problem with SkyDemon not getting a correct location fix from PAW (having not been used for over a year) and still showing its location as ‘Popham’.(though you didn’t positively confirm a satisfactory resolution to your problem at that time).
And from the current thread...
5. From the Home Screen, I see that you have 4 greens, with a 3D GPS fix and both ADSB and P3i functioning (no P3i receive showing but the unit had only been running for 7 minutes at the time the screenshot was taken).
6. I also notice from your Home Screen that you have an FTDI lead connected to one of your Classic’s USB ports, but (from the Configure Screen) none of the ports are configured to use this lead. Can you tell us why the lead is there please - e.g. do you now have a transponder or Flarm unit fitted (This will affect the settings necessary.)
7. It seems that you are also still running your Mode CS on ‘Ultra-short Range’ and +/- 500ft - which will severely restrict the number of Bearingless traffic alerts sent to your Nav System.
8. From your Traffic Screen, you are, however certainly receiving lots of High Power Commercial ADSB and Mode CS Traffic.
9. The ‘Voices’ you will have seen in [the] SkyDemon [Menus] are for SkyDemon’s Own new Audio Alert feature, which is a separate feature, though it does rely at least in part on data from your PilotAware (or other traffic device) to drive it’s anti-collision alerts. This audio comes direct from SkyDemon via the audio output of your iPad, provided it is correctly configured.
10. To get PilotAware audio alerts with a Raspberry Pi2 based ‘Classic’ you need a suitable cable with a 3.5mm TRS or TRRS jack plug, connected between your PilotAware’s composite Audio/Video Jack and a set of headphones, speaker or aircraft audio interface. (This is what Ian is asking about).
If you can give us the answers to the questions above, we should be able to get somewhere.
Best Regards
Peter
