iFly GPS Forum

I understand that the AHRS is still under development. It does not work at all in Wing-X but works better in Foreflight but still ready. Everything else seems to work fine. Some builders have reported beliefs that vibration in the cockpit combined with sensitivity of the AHRS may be an issue. I am building some now and intend to use rubber washers to help insulate the GPS chip from vibration and wait for the developers to resolve the other issues.

Do you have one radio, or two? Are you receiving weather ok? Traffic can be non-existent in the ADS-B system, even when it's on radar and right outside your window. You will only RELIABLY see aircraft that are transmitting ADS-B Out. Other traffic, even when known and radar identified by ATC, will usually not show up (at least until full implementation in 2020). I often fly in busy airspace and the only thing that shows up is an occasional airliner at 30,000ft. Other times, the screen is full of targets. Also, iFly has settings that greatly reduce the traffic you can see. For now, set it to show everything until you re satisfied you're getting traffic, then limit it as needed. On my last flight, I was given traffic at 5 miles and 500ft above me. Nothing showed up on my Stratux or SkyRadar. I eventually spotted the traffic on a converging path, and it passed over me close enough to read FORESTRY on its wing. So if weather is working, you've probably done everything correctly. If not, make sure you have the latest release. Then check that proper options are checked in the Stratux web page. Then make sure the antennas are well connected and can see the ground. Then make sure the WiFi is not dropping out. Finally, if the red light on the Pi ever blinks, it isn't getting enough power and will not behave as expected. Good luck! A new version came out yesterday that solved my intermittent drops.
