Discovery indicates no ADS-B Towers - Reboot fixes it

Post by smbohn »

Periodically, I find that the Discovery indicates it has no ADS-B towers on Foreflight. I connect to the unit's web page and it indicates the same thing. Today I did a reboot and after it came back up it acquired the towers and began populating data. I captured the Stratix log after the reboot. I've attached that. I have a complete set of DEMO logs from the flight but it's too big to attach (20MB). The zip file can be downloaded at https://www.hdu.com/nc/index.php/s/XXDfAfxq66tqbnE. If this isn't enough to debug the issue, please let me know what else to capture when the problem reoccurs.

ADS-B data can only be recorded on the display with the serial or USB connection to the receiver. I don't see any ADS-B inputs in the DEMO files so it appears this is not the display that is wired to the receiver.

The Stratux log file appears to show UAT reception while the log was running. I don't think there are tower stats in the log. It didn't save the log from before the reboot.

Thanks Jeff. Here are the demo files from the display unit the Discovery is plugged in to via USB.

It looks like the UAT radio was active but the log says it received nothing until the unit was rebooted. Did you do a power cycle to reboot or use a reboot command through the web interface? Maybe we need to swap out the UAT radio.

I rebooted through the web interface.

Jeff, fyi... I removed the shares on the demo files since you have them now. Let me know if you need them again for some reason.

Regards,
