Default S7 (formerly V7) software bugs?

Matt,

I'm current flying with a similar set up and have been plagued by resets and other odd behavior. I've got Richard Pfiffner of Craggy Aero corresponding with the factory and we're trying a few things, including a factory reset before today's flight. I was still getting the unit freezing at the most inopportune times!! Apparently there is a possible hardware tweak but you need to send it ti the factory or an authorized dealer (CraggyAero can do it).

When the contest is over Richard is taking mine home to do the tweak and see if that solves the problem.


I had that same problem. It would reboot in flight and kill the power to the whole system including Powerflarm. Finally sent it back to Richard and he did the hardware fix. That seems to have fixed the hardware problem, but not the software issues mentioned above.

The software issues appeared with the latest upgrade of all boxes at the beginning of the season. Prior to that, I also had an issue with V7 not displaying Flarm warnings. That seems to have gotten fixed in this release.
