Re: Troubleshooting in-flight?

What on earth could cause the Ifly/Stratux combo to work exceedingly well on one flight, then on the next - nothing?

The wifi would not come up on the screen to "connect" this time....did nothing out of the ordinary.

Is there a 'reset' button I can push or something easy? Again, working great one minute, the next -- bumpkis!

Re: Troubleshooting in-flight?

I have a Stratux app on my iPhone that I can use to "properly" shut down the Stratux, it also shows a bunch of information from the Stratux. If you had the app, you'd at least know if just the iFly wasn't connecting, or if both weren't connecting. I think I can also restart the Stratux through the app.

Thanks Mike.

I'm getting nothing from the STRATUX.

Is there a reset button somewhere on the device to reboot it?

I was really starting to learn with this device.

Thanks! Mike

Usually, when you reboot everything, they connect again. Does the iFly have a way to delete or clear all previous WIFI sources so it only sees your Stratux? I would boot the Stratux first and give it time to establish it's WIFI network, then boot the iFly. You can connect your phone or a tablet to your Stratux and go to 192.168.10.1 with your browser and check the Stratux from there. Also, make sure your phone does not have it's hotspot activated or your iFly might have connected to it instead of the Stratux.
