I need an address to send for the USB repair please. I have 2 teledongles and they are both doing the same thing. I'll try the fix below. The call signs all match. I'll try increasing the distance. d Keith Packard on Friday, December 12, 2014 at 12:21 PM -0600 wrote: >Dennis Oubre writes: > >> I plugged the TeleBT into the Win7 Enterprise laptop this morning and >> it inexplicably did what it was supposed to do.

You should probably try deleting the device under Windows and then reconnecting it to get Windows to re-evaluate the device. Sometimes Windows gets confused about device configurations... It's also possible that something has just happened to the TeleDongle, although I've never seen this particular failure mode before, it sure looks more like a Windows issue. > In addition, the altimeters are both still showing all red indicators > in Monitor Idle, but working perfectly in Monitor Flight. That's almost always a radio configuration issue; the AltosUI callsign has to exactly match the flight computer callsign. If not that, then make sure the antenna on the TeleBT works well, and that the two units aren't too close to each other. > Also, all this plugging/unplugging has now made the micro usb fall off > of one the altimeters.

[altusmetrum] Fwd: Re(2): Teledongle TeleBT Problem
I plugged the TeleBT into the Win7 Enterprise laptop this morning and it
inexplicably did what it was supposed to do. The Teledongle still shows up in
device manager under "modems" as Telemetrum and is showing a steady red and
green light.
In addition, the altimeters are both still showing all red indicators in
Monitor Idle, but working perfectly in Monitor Flight.
What am I missing?
Also, all this plugging/unplugging has now made the micro usb fall off of one
the altimeters.

Okay...got the doggone gadgets home, installed AltosOS 1.5 on my desktop
computer running Win7 Home Premium 64 bit, and plugged up the Teledongle.
It installed the drivers for TeleMetrum instead of Teledongle.
I then plugged in TeleBT and it installed the drivers for TeleBT!! I was able
to interface with both of my Telemetrum v2 altimeters through "Configure
Altimeter"; HOWEVER, when opening "Monitor Idle" I have all red indicators and
no readings being
received from either altimeter. I went back to "Configure Altimeter," stood
the units upright and rebooted. Opening "Monitor Flight" I'm getting full
readings as expected.
Also, I did successfully update the firmware on both altimeters to version 1.5.
I never had any problems at all like this before. I'm going to go back to the
shop in the morning and try getting my Win7 Enterprise 32 bit laptop to
recognize the TeleBT.
I will update you accordingly.
