    Hi there,

    trying to instal the ADSB exchange MLAT package, but I keep getting these errors included in the screenshot below since I cant put them inside a quote. Any ideas?

    Hi
    It looks that you're using Piaware image. According to https://github.com/flightaware/piaware/wiki/PiAware-Image-Notes git should be already installed.
    Please describe your system more detailed.
    Screenshot is self explanatory: 404 Not Found -> no connection to repository.
    Did you try sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade as suggested?

    Hi Marcin, cheers for the reply, yes I am using Piaware already. I am very new to this whole thing, so trying to make sense of it all.

    System used is a Raspberry Pi 2, with Piaware.

    No I didnt, re upgrade. Is that what I should be doing?

    Trying to start up the mlat-client etc etc and it says command not found.

    Thanks,
    Lance

    Hi
    Yes, try to update/upgrade
    Code:
    sudo apt-get -y update
    sudo apt-get -y upgrade
    sudo reboot
    git clone https://github.com/jprochazka/adsb-exchange.git
    cd adsb-exchange
    chmod +x setup.sh
    sudo ./setup.sh
    cd ..
    or even try full update of OS
    Code:
    sudo apt -y update
    sudo apt -y upgrade
    sudo reboot

    Is your MLAT client running? Which region and username.

    I don’t think the mlat client is working to be honest, have not got as far to even try to get it to feed adsbexchange. This is a second receiver at someone else place I am trying to setup.

    When I executed it on my own receiver, it worked flawlessly.

    Just tio clarify, I will also be receiving MLAT data now wont I? If so whats the default port, or how do I change it to 30006?

    You'll get back MLAT data calculated with your feeder. You can see them on local dump map or redirect to VRS.
    There are some posts on this forum with "how to..."

    Cheers!

    I just cant seem to get the data to display on my VRS thats running on my webserver. This is what I have in mlat_maint.sh at the moment

    Code:
     /usr/bin/mlat-client --input-type dump1090 --input-connect localhost:30005 --lat -27.67438 --lon 152.91178 --alt 69 --user ecnalb --server feed.adsbexchange.com:31090 --no-udp --results beast,listen,30006

    Hi
    It was already explained on this forum.
    "edit the script adsbexchange-mlat_maint.sh and change the end of this command ( --results beast,connect,localhost:30104)
    to this:
    --results basestation,listen,31003

    Then add a receiver in VRS using port 31003 and basestation format.

    Of course, reboot your Pi after making the change :)"
    It works for me.
