I've set up a linux pc to feed adsbx with the jprochazka mutability script. Since that script provides the option of feeding adsbx when selected in the setup, I assume there's no need to use the adsbx setup script on the adsbexchange website to install the adsbexchange folder on the pc. The script sets up the pc to feed the "generic" incoming port of adsbx. I'd like to modify the file that the script created to upload data to adsbx on my custom port. My problem is that I can't locate the file on my pc that the script created so that I can edit it. Does anyone know where that file is in the linux file system?
I'm not familiar with his setup. I've heard it does not work well, and there are some things you should change. My guess would be /home/pi
Ok James. Perhaps I should just decline the option of sending data to adsbx at the mutability script prompt, and then just use the script on this site instead. Thanks.
perhaps ... I'm pretty sure the files in question are in /home/pi/adsbexchange his image has always been buggy and under supported - I've offered to help him but he goes MIA quite a lot for personal reasons
On using that mutability script: Using a linux pc only, my intention is to find and use the most up to date version of dump1090 available, and to only feed adsbx.
There are some issues .. you'll have to design the recovery code .. FA has moved all that out of the dump1090 fork code base and Oliver stopped dev on mutability fork once FA hired him. https://github.com/Mictronics/dump1090 People seem to like this fork and it has extra features. Don't use the forwarding to feed ADSBx - it doesn't have good error recovery. https://github.com/adsbxchange/adsb-exchange You can check out the source, all it does it put the execution in a bash while loop for mlat and socat. For dump1090 - you'll need to check that it is working as well. By pinging the json or looking for data.
James, I don't know what "recovery code" is or how to design it. I hope that won't stop me from using that fork. If your link to Mictronics provides an up to date workable dump1090, I can install it and run your script to feed adsbx. I assume it will ask in a prompt to forward to adsbx, which I'll decline.
ummm ... no .. it won't prompt you ... and you'll have to compile it .. You must be very new to computers and linux ..
Here is a tutorial I wrote ... most of it applies .. Raspbian is debian based so commands should carry over ... rolling your own is not a small undertaking but not rocket science https://www.adsbexchange.com/forum/threads/install-dump1090-fa-from-base-raspbian-image-ssh.623994/
I'm not the best at linux. Well, I'm presently feeding adsbx using that jprochazka script and your site script, so at least I have a working system. I'm just trying to have the best dump1090 decoder available with the equipment I'm using. I'll see what I can do with the info you've provided.
They are all the same, honestly. Whats your internet IP? I can check if it's all working by seeing if feeder is connected.
Yes, it seems to be working well. I'd like to get that Mictronics fork working you mention, if it's newer than my present dump1090.
Again they are all the same. Decoding works well for all of them. It's really the style of the map UI ...
Ok then, if there is no advantage to moving to another fork of dump1090, I'll leave everything as it is.
