Here is a post on another ADS-B thread. I'll post to move that thread here since this is really a Owner Forum post.
We are working with SkyRadar and internally testing. I have spoken with Alexey at SkyRadar and Walter will also be back in the office on Monday so we should be able to dig a little deeper. We hope to know more or have a resolution this week. We are sorry for the frustrations and we thank you for your patience. This is, dare I say, almost equally as frustrating to us, as we have not been able to reproduce this issue so we are working somewhat in the blind. I have requested a new unit from SkyRadar so we can test the exact same batch most of you have, even though there are only minor changes, maybe we'll find something. Plus we are seeing a various range of OS and iFly serial numbers successfully connect.
If you are able to connect without the Driver Message, here is how you can confirm a connection. Once the SkyRadar is connected, you can touch Menu -> Other -> Connected Devices and you would see the SkyRadar connected here with all it's connect detail. Also, you should see Weather (Pre-Flight) on the Mode Menu, change to Weather (ADS-B Live or Idle). Additionally, a data stream will typically take some altitude to start receiving the stream since ADS-B is a ground based transmission system. This altitude will vary depending on your distance from a ADS-B broadcast site.
Just to be sure. Make sure you are plugging your powered on SkyRadar into your iFly with the power on. It can take a few minutes for the serial connection to be established. If you are seeing the "Unrecognized Driver Error", it likely won't establish and we will have a fix shortly. The driver is in the OS of the iFly, not the SkyRadar. In talking with SkyRadar, the driver is not resident on the SkyRadar, we have loaded it on the iFly several updates ago, so I don't see downloading a driver would fix this. That is the odd part as SkyRadar insures us they have not changed the driver or USB setup. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience and this will be resolved shortly.
As for the 5pin USB Mini-B cable. SkyRadar was not able to give me specifics on the cable other than a 5 pin Mini USB type B cable. Also, this is the most common Mini USB cable available in most stores. The biggest concern here is that a specialty cable from a camera or mobile device may not work. I have asked for more cable details from Alexey as well. We don't suggest a "buy and try method", but at this time we don't have any other spec on the needed SkyRadar cable. Just that if you are using a USB cable from a camera or mobile device, that this could possible be one problem, though not a guarantee. Some of these cable are specialty and some are not. More on this once we have more details. Thanks again for your support and have a great weekend.
