Ah yes, I have pre-release software.

Working as expected, nice touch.

I did direct airbox - Tom and William in your direction a few weeks ago saying they would be foolish not to engage with you!

Both codes entered via web interface and both dongles are now licensed with an expire date of 20160801.

I get a uart coms failure but have not tried a usb/serial cable yet. It would be nice to feed my Garmin 495 with TIS data. Or feed pilotaware with position data from the Garmin which could then feed a none 3G iPad with position data via the Flarm interface?

Vince

Ps. Let me know if you need any help as I am quite IT savy.

Hi Vince
The uart comms reported error, is for communication with the ARF
I presume you do not yet have that fitted ?

Thx

No not yet, will do it before the weekend and then try it all in the air.

Okay, so Wi-fi module & ADS- receiver dongle connected to the Pi B+ (but not the radio module yet).

Software appears to have installed (on the latest download the OS seems to be simply called "Rapsberian", but it's got the PilotAware radar logo next to it). Following boot the last message on my Pi monitor is "License Fail for Host 00:13:EF:b0:17:1F"

My iPad can see a Wi-Fi connection called "PilotAware-0013EFB0171F" in the Wi-Fi settings. When I try to connect the iPad to this, it shows it as the active connection with a tick next to it & the Wi-Fi "rainbow" to the right next to the "I" with a circle round it (information button). BUT the "rainbow" does NOT show by the word "iPad" in the top left of the screen as it does when I'm connected to my home network & when I try to active CollisionAware it says "P3I Unavailable - Check WiFi Settings", and Safari won't connect to http://192.168.1.1 ("...could not connect to server")

What's wrong?

Hi Paul,

Can I ask when did you take the copy of the ZIP file ?
There has been quite a lot of updates in the past couple of weeks

Thx

Apologies Paul,

To clarify:-

Circles A & B appear to show iPad connected to PilotAware, but there's no "rainbow" at circle C:--

Hi Lee

Tried the new image. Definitely different as on install, it now says "P3i" & once install & start up is complete, it doesn't give the MAC address of the Wi-Fi dongle, but at the end says:-

Starting PilotAware server ...
/root/servers /
/

with a flashing cursor underneath.

However, my iPad (in fact I've tried two) are still not connecting properly to it, and I'm getting the same "sees the hotspot, seems to connect, but isn't actually connected" problem I had before. The Wi-Fi dongle I bought was advertised on eBay with the chipset as specified in the build manual.


On the other problem, my IDC connector was "adapted" from a complete cable which had three plugs on it. I've plugged one of the unused ones I've got left (which has a 40 wire ribbon attached, but the ribbon's not connected to anything else) to the Pi - & it doesn't boot. I'm using a 2.5 amp 5v feed (my iPad adapter with the lead for the Pi), so it shouldn't be a power problem. Thoughts? I could try a plug from Maplin's with no ribbon & add my own wires - or would these do? http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/raspberry-pi-compatible-jumper-wires-malefemale-n75de

Hi Paul
Just to confirm, you cannot connect to
http://192.168.1.1

This worked fine on my iphone even when there was no license

Thx
