I’m connected to ReachRS+ base over Reach hotspot wifi network from an iPad using the ReachView 3 app. I just updated the app today from the Apple Store and this is my first time using v3.
On ‘Receivers’ page I am connected to the Base unit and can see its ip address (192.168.42.1).
The ‘Status’ sub-page loads and tells me 25 satellites in view etc.
Likewise the ‘Logging’ page opens and gives info on space consumed, raw data settings, and so on.
However the ‘Settings’ page does not work. It opens, but everything is grayed out and there is a popup message that says “Could not load device settings”. I’ve rebooted the Reach, connected and disconnected multiple times to no avail. The behaviour is identical for both the Base and Rover units.
Ok this is super wierd: This morning Rover had the same problem as in opening post. After the nth time rebooting and trying this and that I:
Ipad >> Settings >> Wifi >> Connect to Rover hotspot
Reach View 3:
Status: yep reporting sats etc.
Settings: error “couldn’t load current settings”
Safari >> opened 192.168.42.1 (Reach panel):
Status: same info as above
Wifi:
Hotspot: on
From “Networks: Available” select one and enter wifi password
Message pops up instructing to connect to same network and load the panel again
Without changing the ipad wifi network (stay connected to Rover hotspot wifi) >> open Reach View 3 >> select Settings → and it opens successfully, and all the sub-menus work.
Update: Bad news, after power cycle the Rover is unreachable. It goes in to “Client wifi mode” (blue light slow blink) but Reach View 3 app can’t reach it regardless of what wifi network the iPad is connected to. I have to take the emlid out of wifi range in order to get it to revert to hotpsot mode.
