Hi Lionel

The P3i data is the RF packet format.
For the NAV interface it will appear as another flarm data format message

Hi Lee

Thanks, that sounds as though it should just be an extension on the work I have already done.

Hi Lee

Do you have the details of this data sentence yet ?

Hi Lionel,
I am not sure what you are asking.
P3i messages are sent over the radio interface, not the RS232 interface.
When P3i messages are received, they are translated to flarm style messages, and sent over RS232

Hi Lee

So are you saying that a P3i message is received it will come out over RS232 and look like a $PFLAU message ?

Hi Lee

Regarding $PFLAU sentences can you provide details of when alarm levels 1 and 2 are generated?. Obviously the heading/track denotes a potential conflict but at what height difference and at what range do the two alarm levels get triggered.

Hopefully this is self explanatory, but quite liable to change

Code: [Select]

typedef struct tfcAlarmAdsbS {
Uns32 hdiff; // Horizontal Range boundary (metres)
Uns32 vdiff; // Vertical Range boundary   (ft)
} tfcAlarmAdsbT, *tfcAlarmAdsbP;
const tfcAlarmAdsbT alarms_adsb[] = {
[0] = {999999, 999999}, // km - ft
[1] = {10000,  2000}, // km - ft
[2] = {5000,   1000}, // km - ft
[3] = {3000,   500}, // km - ft
};

    Thank you for the update option in the new versions.
    This is just a suggestion for a later option, but would it be possible to update PAW via the wifi Dongle on the PAW? It would mean connecting the PAW direct to a Hot Spot. May-be this could be selected on the configure page of PAW then just press update?  This would be a good option for a PAW fixed peppermint with in the aircraft panel and not easy accessible. It would allow an update at the airfield using a smart phone as hotspot.

Would that class as a "sweet" solution.     

Ah the vagaries of predictive text.

Hi Lee

Thanks for that, it is indeed self explanatory.    Is there by chance a 'test' version of the PAW software which can force $PFLAU sentences with error messages?  I only as the only other option that I can see it to arrange to physically fly close to another aircraft !! (i am running version 20151219)

Hi Richard,
This would be a great solution, unfortunately this will not work.
The PAW WiFi is configured as a server,
in order for this to connect to your phone hotspot, it would need to run as a client.
If the PAW Wifi runs as a client, you cannot connect to it from your table device, thus rendering this bit impossible

May-be this could be selected on the configure page of PAW then just press update?

- because its a client, not a server 

Theres a hole in my bucket dear Liza dear Liza ....

There is some internal code that has this capability, but not in a form to release.
The release which will contain the PilotAware Bridge should have a tracking capability, which will record your movements, and everyting that was visible to your device, and it will have the option to save that data.
A replay could be added later

Thx

Lee - I think what Lionel is looking for is a way to test the device (tablet or otherwise) to ensure it makes an appropriate alert to the pilot when a threat  becomes an alarm of one type or another. Its quite tricky for developers of devices that will attach to the PAW (RunwayHD, Skydemon or other eqpt) to exercise all of their code without the ability of making the PAW send out all possible PFLAU sentences.
