Hi,

I'm running into a bug or potential issue with my Pi where after about 10-15 minutes of my map being on, it'll go to update and get stuck on the transition animation. I then try to connect to the UI using the IP address and it times out in the browser. The only option to really get around this is to restart the Pi and/or shutoff the power. Upon looking at the logfile It'll say the RPI IP address then say "FAA Data is Not Available," followed by the API request URL.

In addition, I'm not setting up the WIFI using BerryLan. I have to manually configure the Pi to connect to an Enterprise network.

If you feel comfortable with the RPi's command line, then the next time this occurs enter;

ping www.google.com

You should get a response such as;

PING www.google.com (172.217.5.68) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from lax17s15-in-f4.1e100.net (172.217.5.68): icmp_seq=1 ttl=117 time=46.6 ms
64 bytes from lax17s15-in-f4.1e100.net (172.217.5.68): icmp_seq=2 ttl=117 time=51.9 ms
64 bytes from lax17s15-in-f4.1e100.net (172.217.5.68): icmp_seq=3 ttl=117 time=63.5 ms
64 bytes from lax17s15-in-f4.1e100.net (172.217.5.68): icmp_seq=4 ttl=117 time=56.8 ms

If you do, then your RPi has access to the internet and should be able to reach the FAA site for data. If not, then you need to find out what might be causing your internet access to drop out. Let us know what you find out. - Mark

It for sure has internet. It boots up and retrieves the data and runs for about 10-15 minutes. Only after this time period is where the Pi seems to hang. Note: I had to downgrade WPA_Supplicant to v2.4 because apparently v2.8 doesn't work well with enterprise networks.

So do you believe the problem is that the RPi's access to the internet drops after 10-15 mins? - Mark

It seems like that. The log file still shows the IP but says the data from the FAA is not available. Not sure if it's a network issue or a network adapter issue though.
