Need Help Configuring Power FLARM Portable
Set the baud rate to 57600 in the config file. CN2 will connect.
If you reset the serial port rate on powerflarm after you've powered things up, you'll (afaik) have to do a power cycle/reboot on CN2. CN2 will connect at any rate between 19.2 and 57.6, performance will be best at 57.6.

Here's what I found today.Â* My CNII recognizes the connection to the Flarm (as evidenced by the black "f" on the CNII display).Â* Changing the baud rate causes the "f" to turn red.Â* Also, until the Flarm locks on to the GPS, the "f" is red. Looking at message traffic on the Streak showed nothing, zip, nada. Not knowing the protocol, I can only guess that the "keep alive" message is on the line, but no data.Â* I tried rolling back to Flarm v. 6.60 but was told that it was already installed.Â* Actually, 6.67 is installed. What's next?Â* I think I need to build a configuration file and reconfigure the Flarm.Â* I'll be off to a fly-in in the 180 tomorrow so it'll be a couple of days before I get to try it out.

Yesterday, full of hope, I downloaded and installed the just released FlarmNet file (data.fln).Â* No joy! The next easiest thing to try would be to roll back the PowerFlarm firmware from 6.67 to 6.60 but I suspect that that won't work.Â* I would expect a message telling me that I have a newer version installed. So I figured I'd try to reset the configuration of the Flarm.Â* I went to Flarm.com and started the Configuration Tool.Â* One of the earliest questions asked was for the serial number of my unit and, when I entered that, I got an error stating that the serial number was invalid!Â* True, I did not have the unit with me at home to check, but I do have the SD card and it looks to me like the serial number is either 960 or 000960.Â* I entered both and got errors.Â* My PFP00960.txt file is here to be looked at for any advice.Â* I'm out of ideas. -- Dan, 5J -- Dan, 5J |
