1 Thank you for purchasing the Classic to Rosetta Upgrade Kit. Please check that the kit contains the following items. Black Fire resistant case. Rosetta Sticker New PilotAware Bridge New RTL SDR Low-Powered Dongle New 1090Mhz antenna 1090MHz SMA MCX pigtail. From your existing PilotAware Classic unit you will re-use. The Raspberry Pi Single Board Computer Pi2, The GPS Dongle, The SD Card, the large 869.5MHz antenna, WiFi dongle and the power lead. The existing case 1090Antenna, RTLSDR, Radio Bridge 1090Antenna and lead will not be used. Undertaking the upgrade. Your PilotAware Classic will have been disassembled when you sent the Bridge back to PilotAware for re-use by the OGN. Please use the following instructions to complete the upgrade. Make sure that the disassembly and assembly are done in a clean electrostatic free environment. Open the Rosetta case by inserting a narrow screwdriver or the round end of a domestic knife into the position shown below

2 Position the case moulding with the two 6mm punch-outs in the end on a flat working surface. Punch out the blanks and increase the size of the holes to 7mm to aid assembly if required. Remove the washer and nut from the SMA end of the pigtail and insert it into the right-hand hole as seen with the case flat on the bench. Apply some Loctite or Superglue to the lower threads, replace the washer and nut and tighten, but not overtighten the nut. Lay this to the side. Put the new bridge onto the 40 pin PIO connector of your existing raspberry Pi SBC ensuring that all pins are connected. It is relatively easy to be a row out! Remove the nut and washer from the Radio Bridge SMA connector Insert the Raspberry Pi Bridge assembly into the case with the SMA connector protruding through the second hole and the pigtail exiting at the other end of the case through the right-hand half-round slot in the case above the Ethernet socket with the case on the table. Ensure that the pigtail Co-Ax will push in and out of this hole freely for an inch or so. Apply some Loctite or Superglue to the lower threads of the second SMA connector, replace the washer and nut and tighten, but not overtighten the nut.

3 Place the longer case half onto the top of the smaller case half and push gently to locate the plastic fixing lugs. Turn the assembly over, place the smaller case half on the bench and push down firmly with the palm of your hand to snap the case into place. (make sure the pigtail has not come out of the half-round egress hole and is stopping a clean fit). This is a precision but not a force fit. It will make a snap noise when correct. If you feel that there is too much resistance, then something is not quite right. Check and start again. Insert your GPS dongle into the top left USB slot and your WiFi dongle into the bottom left hand slot.

4 Remove the new RTLSDR from its package, attach the pigtail MCX male connector to the dongle MCX female connector until it connects with a defined click. Now push the pigtail into the half-round slot and insert the connected dongle into the bottom right hand USB slot. Dress the pigtail for a clean run of the Co-Ax so there are no kinks or sharp angles. Attach the dongle compartment cover by placing it vertically on the lower-case cover and sliding it home. If you require force to do this, you are doing it wrong.

5 Attach the Rosetta label by pulling back a half of the backing on the label and cut this backing off for convenience. Align the top of the label about 1mm below the top of the case, symmetrically around the ventilation hole and parallel to the sides. When you are sure that the label is aligned correctly attach it. Then remove the remaining backing and affix the remainder of the label over the dongle compartment and around the end. Make sure there are no bubbles on the label. If there are remove the air by smoothing the label. To allow future removal of the dongle compartment cover, insert a sharp hobby knife or scalpel into the top and side edges of the cover and make an incision. Insert the antennas as shown on the label. Big one (869.5MHz) on the left, little one (1090MHz) on the right Manual Software Download. As your existing SD card and Raspberry Pi have so far been unaltered in the process so far, all will work as before with your configuration intact. However, Rosetta uses the latest software release and so this should be downloaded to your unit. To ensure that all Rosetta units are to the same software standard the this should be a full manual download involving an SD card reformat. In this way, you will be operating your Rosetta using the latest kernel and thus have commonality with all other Rosetta software. To see how to undertake a full manual SD card update please visit When undertaking, a full manual software update your configuration data will be lost so please make a note of your PilotAware configuration including the license key so that you can re-insert this when the software has been installed. When things don t go quite right! PilotAware Rosetta is provided with several monitoring lights to help you diagnose problems. These are on the Raspberry Pi single board computer (SBC), on the PilotAware Radio Bridge and on the GPS dongle. Computer Lights. Firstly, there are 2 small LED s mounted on the Raspberry Pi SBC. These can be seen by looking through the slots on the front left hand side of Rosetta case. There should be one permanent red LED showing power is supplied and one green LED that flashes when there is a disc access. The red LED should be permanently on, showing that there is the correct power supply to the Raspberry Pi. If there are any problems, first check that your power supply is giving 5.2V and 2.1A. Failure to do this is the most common fault. A permanent green light on the Computer Board indicates that there is an SD card fault either the SD card has become dislodged or more seriously, the software has been corrupted. There is also a bright green LED on the top of the GPS dongle, accessible by removing the lower cover on the Rosetta case. When sufficient GPS satellites have been captured this flashes periodically at 1 second intervals. If this is not the case, then ensure that a clear view of the sky is available. Additionally, there are two bright LED s on the side of the new PilotAware Radio Bridge identified as L1 and L2 on the lefthand side of the front label. These can be used to diagnose faults. L1. This illuminates when there is a PilotAware P3i, Tx or Rx signal. Red = Tx. Green =Rx. L2. This LED flashes to indicate the status of your Rosetta. Solid Green All OK Alternate Flashing Green and Flashing Red License Expired L2 will also flash in line with indicators on column 1 rows 8 to 11 of the Rosetta Home Page. 1 ADSB 2 P3i TxRx 3 Barometer 4 GPS If there is a problem, there will be 4 flashes. ie RGGG indicates No ADSB reception and GGGR means No GPS etc. Often a single fault will cause several red indicators. For example, loss of a GPS signal will also cause loss of P3i Tx and will result in four flashes of GRGR

6 Trouble Shooting Common Faults PilotAware has been shown to be robust in operation. However here are a few common issues. 1. Ensure you have the correct power supply. 5.2V 2.1A and supplied lead 22AWG. 2. Ensure that you have read the Operating instructions available at Pilotaware.com 3. Ensure that your tablet is connected to the PilotAware WiFi not another by mistake. 4. When connected to the WiFi hotspot use to connect to PilotAware Rosetta. 5. Ensure that your PilotAware unit can see the sky and pick up GPS signals. 6. Make sure that you have put your unique aircraft ICAO number in the configuration page. 7. Configure your Rosetta unit to detect Mode C/S aircraft via the Configuration Page 8. Configure your Rosetta unit Mode C/S sensitivity using the Configuration Page. 9. Ensure that you have selected Save when making configurations. 10. Ensure that your navigation device is configured correctly to connect with PilotAware 11. Ensure that you have configured your navigation device to show bearing-less targets. Take time to understand the full functionality of PilotAware before you use it in the air. The PilotAware Team
