Chapter 1. Introduction
This manual describes the PB-4's browser based user interface and how to
use it to balance a propeller or rotor. Please refer to the PB-4 Hardware Manual
( pb4_hw_manual.pdf ) for information regarding the PB-4 hardware and how
it is installed prior to carrying out a balancing job.
For simplicity, this manual refers to the user interface as a tablet but it could
be any device that supports a modern web browser and it talks about “clicking”
buttons. Obviously, if the device has a touch screen then you will be “touching”
or “tapping” rather than clicking.
This manual describes the PB-4 user interface software version 2 upwards.
Note
In depth tutorials that cover propeller and rotor balancing using the
PB-4 are available on the Smart Avionics website.
1.1. Accessing the PB-4 user interface
Safari users please note that the PB-4 is not compatible with Safari's “Private
Mode”.
Accessing the PB-4 user interface from your tablet's browser requires the
PB-4 and the tablet to be using the same Wi-Fi network.
1.1.1. Accessing the PB-4 user interface (AP mode)
When the PB-4 is in AP mode, the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) will be PB4-XX
where XX are two letters/digits. You will need to tell your tablet to use that
Wi-Fi network (via its Wi-Fi configuration). At the airfield, the tablet will probably
use the PB-4 Wi-Fi automatically because your normal Wi-Fi is not available.
If not, you will have to tell the tablet to use the PB-4 Wi-Fi manually.
Once the tablet is using the PB-4 network, you can load the user interface
page into the browser. If your tablet supports MDNS, you can simply use
pb4.local as the host name in the browser. Apple devices (mac/ipad/iphone)
and most Linux systems have MDNS, most Windows systems do not. If not,
use the IP address 172.21.21.1. Having accessed the PB-4 user interface
page, just add a bookmark for that page in your browser called something like
"PB-4 AP Mode (at the airfield)".
1.1.2. Accessing the PB-4 user interface (STA mode)
When the PB-4 is in STA mode, the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) will be whatever
you normally use at the current location. The PB-4 will need to be taught that
