Default Possible Damage to Cambridge 302

Thanks Guys! Simply removing and reseating the OAT sensor plug did the
trick.

Oh, and yeah... My remotely mounted meat thermometer is also great! At
16,800' MSL, the temperature was 8 deg F. Now I'm sure I know the reason my
feet were cold!

According to my XCSoar program, one of the thermals I entered registered
17.5 kts! Of course, my average was only in the 11+ range. The season is
really getting going here in New Mexico.

Thanks, Guys, you've given me hope. It was just a bit over a year ago
that, in flight, the needle fell off the bloody thing and I had to send it
off. It didn't fall off this time.

Hi,

After unplugging the temperature probe, plug it back in and make sure it
is fully seated. Then power the 302 up.

everything

works except for the CAI302. The display turns on and, IIRC, the needle

swung, but it never got beyond the second screen, the one which displays
a

number at the top and the firmware version at the bottom.



The wind got pretty strong today at Moriarty so I put it back in the

trailer. My plan for tomorrow is to disconnect everything and reconnect

thinking that a connector or wire might have come loose. There's no

indication of damage by looking at the screen. Any suggestions?


Unplug the OAT sensor and try again.
