Hello, got 2 receivers - both running dump1090-fa without Piaware, so no FA connection, Adsbexchange feeder installed from Github. I'm feeding to Adsbx only. Everything works on local Skyview including MLAT planes on the map. But when I try to combine the two receivers to one map, I dont see MLAT planes. I've tried it with Modesmixer (mm2 web and VRS) and with Combine1090 too, no MLATs on the map, ports 3005 and 30104 used. Any idea what's wrong or how to combine the two receivers? Thanks, Peter
You'll have to modify the command line for the mlat client to either offer the MLAT results on some port or push them into the combined receiver. Is it two separate RPi? Depending on when you used the adsbx setup script, you need to edit different files. Code: pgrep -a adbexchange pgrep -a mlat-client This should tell me which version you are using. Oh port 30104 is where dump1090-fa accepts push connections for beast data, that's the way it gets the MLAT data. But you can't just connect to that port to get the MLAT data, you need to make mlat-client either offer them on a listen port or push them to your combined receiver via connect. Code: [email protected] # mlat-client --help Results output: --results RESULTS <protocol>,connect,host:port or <protocol>,listen,port. Protocol may be 'basestation', 'ext_basestation', or 'beast'. Can be specified multiple times. ------------ # default piaware mlat configuration for reference: --results beast,connect,localhost:30004 --results beast,listen,30105 So if you want to specify a port in combine1090 to fetch the data from that other host, you need to specify a listen port. Or you can just push the data from the mlat-client directly into the combined view port 30004 with the connect option.
Thanks wiedehopf for the informations, I will try to do something with the mlat-client config. Two separate Rpi, connected through n2n, one has combine1090 installed. This is how is mlat-client running: Code: --results beast,connect,localhost:30104 --results basestation,listen,31003
These are the network options for combine1090 dump1090-fa instance: (don't change them) Code: 26 NET_OPTIONS="--net --net-heartbeat 60 --net-ro-size 1000 --net-ro-interval 0.2 --net-ri-port 29001 --net-ro-port 29002 --net-s bs-port 29003 --net-bi-port 29004 --net-bo-port 29005" Those options tell you combine1090 dump1090-fa instance listens for beast data on 29004 On both mlat-clients add this: Code: --results beast,connect,localhost:29004 On the pi not running combine1090 replace localhost with the IP address of the pi running combine1090. Does that make sense to you? As for redirection with combine1090, it's then sufficient to only redirect port 30005. The mlat data are pushed directly to combine1090 by the mlat clients.
Finally got it working with modesmixer. On both RPi I added to the adsbexchange config this: Code: --results beast,listen,30105 and on one RPi I'm using this configuration of modesmixer2: Code: --inConnectId 127.0.0.1:30005:RX1 --inConnectId 127.0.0.1:30105:RX1-MLAT --inConnectId REMOTE_IP:30005:RX2 --inConnectId REMOTE_IP:30105:RX2-MLAT --outServer sbs10001:555 & Now I see output of both receivers combined in one map with MLAT planes on modesmixer web (including source ID). --outserver is output for BaseStation app.
It does work with combine1090 as well if you configure it correctly. But if you like stuff like source ID, combine1090 doesn't have that. Anyhow you got it working Out of curiosity, have you checked your sync? http://adsbx.org/sync/5A/
Yes, I like the source ID feature. Thanks for pointing to the right direction. I checked my Sync Stats, health is around 98% for both receivers.
Hi, I'm still using tar1090 - 2 data sources combined by combine1090: local RPi with dump1090-fa/combine1090/tar1090 and remote RPi with dump1090. Of course, adsbexchange on both. I have upgraded antenna on remote RPi, now I see a ground station on remote RPi dump1090 map, but i don't see it on local RPi with combine1090/tar1090 on the map, only in the table is the ground station visible with source: ADS-B noTP. Is there any chance to see the ground station on the combined map?
Something Im doing wrong, I just realized I have no location nor circles on tar1090 and combine1090 maps, it is only on dump1090-fa maps. I installed dump1090 from your bundle (github wiedehopf). No idea how to configure location for combine1090... did not find an info about this at github project page.
Well, i don't really support it as i want to make something new using readsb at some point. Doesn't that in the configuration file look familiar? DECODER_OPTIONS="--max-range 360" Add --lat 30 --lon 60 within the quotes for a location, restart the box.
