Feed ADS-B Exchange with radarscape

Re-run installer or edit:

Code:

sudo nano adsb-exchange/adsbexchange-mlat_maint.sh

Replace unerlined by proper values, port number should be in range 10002-10005 (play with settings):

Code:

/usr/bin/mlat-client --input-type dump1090 --input-connect localhost:30005

After saving changes restart mlat-client

Code:

sudo service mlat-client restart

Underline doesn't work in code section, dump1090 and 30005 in example code

 

OK, let's start over .
You downloaded mlat-client using:

Code:

sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/adsbxchange/adsb-exchange.git
cd adsb-exchange
chmod +x setup.sh
sudo ./setup.sh

This code creates adsb-exchange folder.
After setup file
adsbexchange-mlat_maint.sh
is created in this folder.
Can't you find it?

 

If you installed it as root... Can be the reason.

 

Is it all in this script?
Normally uninstall looks like:

Code:

sudo rm -rf adsb-exchange

Log in as root and try it (without sudo).

 

Connected with no syncs.
I found some more info about configuration.
Description: Receiver type:

This setting sets the type of receiver that Mode S messages will

be read from.

.

dump1090:

dump1090 (MalcolmRobb or mutability fork), or anything else

that can generate Beast-format messages with a 12MHz clock.

beast:

The Mode-S Beast.

radarcape_gps:

Radarcape with GPS timestamps (preferred).

radarcape_12mhz:

Radarcape with legacy 12MHz timestamps.

sbs:

Kinetic Avionics SBS-1/SBS-3 systems.

Type: select

Choices: dump1090, beast, radarcape_gps, radarcape_12mhz, sbs

Default: dump1090



Template: mlat-client/input-hostport

Description: Input host: port for Mode S traffic:

The multilateration client needs to read Mode S messages from a

receiver such as dump1090. Here you can configure the host and port that the

receiver is running on.

.

For dump1090, you need Beast-format output. This is usually available on port 30005.

For Radarcapes, use port 10002.

For SBS, use port 30006.

Type: string

Default: localhost:30005

Template: mlat-client/input-type

 

Script content should look like:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
while true
  do
    sleep 30
    /usr/bin/mlat-client --input-type radarcape_gps --input-connect localhost:10002 --lat xx.xxxx --lon yy.yyyy --alt zzz --user Surgravvegen_02 --server feed.adsbexchange.com:31090 --no-udp --results basestation,listen,31003
  done

Enter your coordinates, save and reboot.

 

It works

 

This is only step 1.
Now we have to find a way to modify adsbexchange-netcat_maint.sh script for Radarcape.
But this will need help from James (he has to give you a special port for specific data format).

 

Look here: https://wiki.jetvision.de/wiki/Rada...03_Service_.28TCP.2C_UDP.2C_and_USB-serial.29
Port 30003 is serving something like SBS.
