Please include a detailed description of your issue or question:
I’ve recently purchased a Flightbox Plus (assembled) as described above, order #4316 I can receive (at my home, i.e. not aboard a plane–not tried yet) GPS position, and ADS-B data (including high altitude traffic, as well as low altitude traffic and weather, as I am close enough to line-of-sight for a couple of ground towers near McCarran (KLAS) airport. I am however unable to activate AHRS functionality on my iPad. Yes, I checked the two switches in the Settings menu of the Flightbox app. Neither the flightbox app, nor FlyQ acknowledge either an AHRS connection or any input from the Flightbox device. What do I need to do to make AHRS work? (Of course, gently moving the Flightbox case does not help, as there is no connection.) Should I be in the air for it to kick in? Do I need to apply the beta firmware patch that the Flightbox app suggested I may not wish to apply, since it’s beta?
I am a software professional, as well as a ham operator (KD0BME) so I can probably understand a technical explanation if necessary.
Best regards.
