Hi folks,

Started working on converting my cockpit over to the AM4 beta and have some issues that may already be known bugs - is there a beta feedback forum or similar anywhere?

Thanks,

Paul

Just to give a little update on where I am with this, I moved all connections to an Arduino Mega and ran it direct from the PC, the compass then works as expected alongside all the other instruments. I suspect this confirms the suspicion that there is a bug in the PI AM code somewhere. Happy from my...

Perfect thanks for letting me know!

This is a message for Scott who PM’d me about this topic - I hope you got my reply? It seems to stuck in my outbox

Thanks Corjan, not worth the price of entry then by the sounds of it, will stick with my 3.

Hi folks, can anyone comment on the performance of the 4? Does it allow for smoother gauges with Air Manager or is the difference negligible?

Many thanks,

Paul

More general question for everyone whilst Corjan looks into this - once the Pi has stopped communicating with Air Manager I am having to disassemble and refresh the SD Card which is physically a pain because its built into the panel - is there a way to force a reset via SSH? I never lose SSH access....

Ok thanks Corjan.

It’s worth noting that in isolation (i.e. this being the only thing on a panel) it works fine, it’s when I load it into my Cessna 172 panel (basically the default with a few instruments removed) that the problem happens.

Many thanks

Paul

Ah sorry, I'll just repost the code - thanks again local Calibration_ok = false local calib_pos = 0 local compass_on = 1 local compass_heading = 0 --- Main Functions --- --- Check HW Connected --- function check_hw() if hw_connected("ARDUINO_UNO_F_D8") then timer_stop(tmr_hw) --- Setup Har...

Hi Tony,

Tried the polling method in post 23 above (or at least I think I did! Please feel free to pick holes in it!! ), pi shows an error about initialising hw outsize of the first run of the script?

By loss of comms I mean the pi stops talking to air manager.

Many thanks

Paul
