Hi Tim,

Ever since the latest SD update where the connection to PF was moved from CONNECTIONS to GO FLYING, I can't get my PF Core to connect to SD and I have to revert to Use Location Services and the iPad's internal GPS.

I have checked the PF Core device and get the customary orange LED for 20 seconds and then the steady green LED which tells me that it has booted correctly and is receiving GPS signals. On the iPad wi-fi status icon, it shows that I am connected to the Butterfly Connect.

I have confirmed SETTINGS - CONNECTIVITY - FLARM and when I select GO FLYING - USE FLARM, I get the message: "Please wait while a connection is established to your external device" but after about 10 seconds I always get the message: "Failed to establish a connection with Butterfly Connect."

I have tried it with airplane mode off (wi-fi still selected) and on; I have deleted SD from my iPad and reloaded it; I have reconfigured the PF Core with my USB stick but all to no avail. My iPad is connected to the Butterfly Connect wi-fi and the PF Core is receiving GPS data but it's just not happening on SD and only seems to have started after the last update.

Do you have any suggestions, please?

Paul

I don't think anything changed about the Flarm connection, and we have enough customers out there using SkyDemon with Flarm that I would have thought we'd have heard about it if there were a general problem. We don't actually have a Flarm unit in the office to test with, though. I'd be happy to test yours if you wanted to send it to us, but it might be just as easy for you to send it to Butterfly.

I'm having exactly the same issue so it's not a problem with the PowerFlarm unit. My iPad mini connected to PF perfectly every time before the recent update, but now SD will not connect to PF, just comes up with the error message as above. Perhaps you can reinstate the previous way of connecting, via the connections option.
