    Now check if rc.local service is installed and running (as described in previous post).

    Reboot Pi and check if ADSBx mlat-client is running. I'm afraid that will not be up :D.

    I just downloaded 3.6.3 from FlightAware website.

    http://piaware.flightcdn.com/piaware-sd-card-3.6.3.img.zip

    Burned it to SD using etcher.io and plugged it all in.

    FA default login is:

    pi
    flightaware

    Then over ssh I did

    sudo apt update
    sudo apt upgrade

    then installed git and ran the setup script

    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
    
    Then I rebooted .. netcat and mlat both started

    I didn't try it without updating the Pi to latest first

    My guess (based on initial reports) is that initial FA image has rc.local disabled. This may or may not have been intentional.

    Beware Flight Aware has overridden Raspbian software repositories in 3.6.3, so they now control what software you can install and what is available version wise.


    It is currently feeding customfeed AZ-Pi

    Apparently Google will no longer give altitude for free.

    You have to manually edit the adsbexchange-mlat_maint.sh script

    so FA ADSBx 3.5.3 image MLAT will never start.

    This affects ALL images including installed images out there in the wild. FA ADSBx image is now broken when it reboots. MLAT client will not start - all images need to be upgraded and patched.

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
    IndexError: list index out of range
    usage: mlat-client [-h]

    Open this script in nano and replace LON, LAT, ALT and USER parameters by your coordinates and username.
    Save reboot and it should work.

    My file had valid data, so does suggest thats not the reason?

    Code:
    #!/bin/sh
    while true
      do
        sleep 30
        /usr/bin/mlat-client --input-type dump1090 --input-connect localhost:30005 --lat 51.49915 --lon -0.86886 --alt 30 --user feeder --server feed.adsbexchange.com:31090 --no-udp --results beast,connect,localhost:30104
      done

    Haha, I like problems that sort themselves.

    I opted for TV, should I get zerotier?

    You saw my form for ownership of Zcons-51300?

    Thanks for your prompt help!!

    Zerotier has advantage. You'll never see warning about commercial use and acces will not be blocked till...
    I've seen it when I tried to help (non commercial use :D).
