Comm device disconnected #172

Closed cpt518 closed 1 year ago

cpt518 commented 1 year ago

Hello, I recently installed the latest version of CIVTAK as well as the latest ATAK forwarder plugin. When I follow the steps in the read me, ATAK sends me a warning saying “comm device disconnected”, but a green meshtastic/forwarder logo appears at the bottom of the screen. I’ve Restarted the t-beam lily go, ATAK, meshtastic and the Bluetooth pairing in multiple sequences but still get the same error and am unable to see the device appear on the map. Is there a step I’m missing?

I should note that to try to test the “off grid” nature, I shut off GPS within ATAK to ensure that location information was solely being pulled from the meshtastic device. Was this a mistake?

The latest release cleans up the logo / icon so it's clearer what is going on under the hood. You may also be having this issue: https://github.com/paulmandal/atak-forwarder/issues/173
