First the good news... my Flytrex arrived yesterday! Following is the complete chronology:
- March 9th: Ordered Flytrex Live 3G plus CAN Bus Adapter with $25 EMS Express shipping
- March 17th: Got email from Flytrex "Your Flytrex is on its way" with EMS tracking number
- March 18th 14:01: The EMS item is being forwarded to the EMS sorting center before sending it abroad
- March 18th 21:04: The EMS item was sent to the United States
- March 25th 22:50: The EMS item arrived to the EMS Sorting in the United States
- March 27th 08:44: The EMS item was sent to the post office nearest the addressee in the United States
- March 27th 08:45: Delivery attempt was made in the United States [not sure what this means - they didn't come to my house]
- March 28th 12:25: The EMS item was sent to the post office nearest the addressee in the United States
- March 28th: Delivered by USPS
dirtdummy, by the way it was reassuring that my Flytrex had a companion on its trip across the Atlantic.
Anyway, now the "not-as-good news"... It almost works but not quite.... What I've done:
1. Installed in my Phantom.
2. Loaded updated firmware 18.20150205 (it arrived with firmware version #17) using the Flytrex Live 3G Programmer app
3. Activated and installed H2O Wireless SIM with $10 "H2O LTE MINUTE" plan
4. Used APN Programmer function of Flytrex Live Programmer to set APN Name to "PRODATA"
When I power up the Phantom over several seconds the lights go from Red to Purple to Blue and finally Green. It stays solid green but when I log into the Flytrex website and click on the Last Seen link it says "NO LOCATION SIGNAL RECEIVED FROM THIS LIVE. THIS USUALLY INDICATES LIVE DEVICE WAS NEVER USED UP UNTIL NOW."
According to the FAQ it says Flashing Green mean "Live connection established successfully." Mine is solid green - not sure if this is different.
It seems like I have a connection to Flytrex. For example, when I click on Manage Live Device it recognizes that I have the latest firmware. Originally it showed version #17 and now it shows #18 - I think the only way it could know this is if it connected successfully.
Any ideas? Support request to Flytrex?
