Should I be left in Terminal Mode requiring a login for pilot3i-rpi?
I'm using the latest download.

Hi Gerry,
What you are seeing is correct, but there is no need to login.
Normally of course, you would not have a display connected to your HDMI port, and hence would not see the login prompt.
The normal connection to PilotAware will be over the WiFi connection from SkyDemon, RunwayHD or EasyVFR, connecting directly to a server running on PilotAware.
The main issue you have is that you need the correct dongle (as discussed), and the dongle MAC address needs enabling in the software.
At the moment the licensing is pretty horrible, because it is statically defined in the downloaded zip file, which unfortunately means that once you give me your MAC address, you will need to download and install again.
I am in the process of trying to fix this, so that PilotAware runs a web server, which would allow you to simply connect to the WiFi hotspot, run up your web browser and enter a code, without all this nonsense of downloading and installing again.
All these things take time, and it will clearly take time to 'mature' into a more user friendly product, so please bear with me 😓
Not sure when your dongle is due to arrive, but I may have the web server interface up and running before the end of the week.
Thx
Lee
