Uavionics echo / sky power up time
 

I connected the echo/sky units yesterday. I waited 3minutes for the WiFi to appear. It never did. How long does the unit take to show up? I did verify power and ground to both connectors. I?m using the navworx cable they sent.

Comes up very quick
 

Will be "Ping" something or other on your phone --

I was waiting for something starting with ping... on both my phone and iPad and it never showed up. I was asking if anyone knows about how long for it to show up.
Thanks

Can you see if the little lights are powered up? My comes up right away!

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but did you go to settings in your iPhone and/or iPad and select to connect to the “ping” network in WiFi settings?


Make sure the Echo WiFi software is up to date as well.

Should be available to connect up to wifi within 1 min if you have powered up the echo and can see the appropriate indicator led s on the Echo. As stated above, the wifi will be named PING XXXX .

Didn?t see any lights either. Thanks. That helps.

Put one in a RV 7 couple weeks ago that actually had a bad connector and or wire crimp in the black plug and was not powering up unit. May want to check that if you have NO LED indicator lite.

Thanks. I didn't see lights on either unit. I did check the wiring to ensure I had power on pin 2 and pin 1 was grounded on both units.

Actually uAvionics swapped the Echo out for me no questions ask and sent me a new one. Plugged it into the OLD ( original plug ) and had same problem . Pulled out the old black plug and installed the new one ( with the replacement unit) and all worked well . I would bet the original echo would work had we just replaced the plug. I didn t do autopsy on the OLD plug but that confirmed for me something not connected internally.
