I cannot seem to connect our DA1 Catalyst to the new TMM (Android) app, which was released a few days ago. There is only an option to pair via bluetooth. I have logged a call with Trimble Support but am looking for community feedback. Thanks. 

Hi Jonas

The Catalyst DA1 requires you to have the Trimble Catalyst Service installed. This is not an app that you interact with but rather the GNSS 'engine' that processes the digital signal from the DA1.
The DA2 being next generation doesn't require this so it's not typically installed anymore unless you try to connect to a DA1

Install this then give it another try. Providing your Android device meets the minimum specs listed HERE you should be good

Thanks Tom - we have been using these for a few years, and have this app installed already. The new updated TMM app, if you don't have it, does not have an option to choose a GNSS receiver, it only seems to pair over Bluetooth. It has a very different interface than the one I have been using for 4 years. I have not yet heard back from Trimble, but there is so far nothing I can see in the new app which enables a DA1 connection.

Hi Jonas,

In the new TMM app if your DA1 is already connected via USB you should see it when you click on the 'Select' button from the Home screen, as in this screen shot (your list of devices will be different of course, but you should still see 'Trimble DA1'):

If you don't see the receiver in the list please ensure that the Catalyst service app is up to date, you might also want to try signing out then signing back in again. If this isn't working then the Support team should be able to resolve the issue.

Best regards,

Hello All,

I can confirm that even if you do get to see the DA1 as a selection as in the picture that Mark Kelly provided. TMM and the legacy Trimble DA1 are not playing well with each other. It is behaving like it can't stay connected to TCH and the accuracies are all over the place. I have screenshots and a recording that I will be sending into Trimble Support. I have seen this with two different customers this week in Idaho.

Mel,

On an earlier I thread with Tom Harrison re:  updating the DA1 firmware, it seems he was indicating that we need to downgrade to TMM 2.9.5 to do that. Based on the behavior I was seeing with TMM 3.x, it sounds like TMM2.9.5 is the last supported version with the DA1. He was going to send me the instructions to downgrade via the catalyst_support@trimble.com outbox, but I've not sen that email yet if you can help with that. 

Also, please advise what process I need to go thru to get those 5 hrs added back to my On Demand Licenses on my account.

Thanks!
