For those who are already feeding other sites

Hi MDA,
I used the method stated above:-

Everything installed successfully with custom port except after each reboot, it will not autorun the adsbexchange and no data will be sent to ADSBEx.

I am using PiAware 3.6.2, latest version. Anyway to fix this? Thank you in advance.

SaiHou

 

Hi Marcin,

Thanks for the reply. I will check as per your suggestion. Or worst case will install the ADSB-Exchange to avoid such bugs or problem.

Best regards,
Sai Hou

 

Hello Marcin,

At last I decided to flash ADSBx-Piaware 3.5.3. and now problem fixed. Thanks.

Hello,

I'm running PiAware 3.6.3 feeding FA currently. I would like to feed ADSBx too.
Can you confirm that the setup.sh instructions will not break FA feeding?

Thank you,
Olivier

 

I tried on PiAware 3.6.3 and its working now. But somehow I also can't confirm yours. Anyway, no harm to try.

Ok, thank you.
I’ll give it a try this weekend.

 

I did the setup this evening.
Everything went fine except this strange error message at the end :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
IndexError: list index out of range

But it still works. I have mlat and netcat scripts running in the background
I was able to see my through a custom feed port. Happy days !

I've seen 2 typos in the altitude input screen. The title is wrong, it says Longitude and receiver altitude is misspelled. See the line from setup.sh:
RECEIVERALTITUDE=$(whiptail --backtitle "$BACKTITLETEXT" --title "Receiver Longitude" --nocancel --inputbox "\nEnter your recivers atitude."

I will try to reboot tomorrow but I guess the scripts will not start as there is no rc.local on my Pi where the setup script tries to register the two commands for automatic startup.
I will probably need to put those into /etc/init.d to instead

 

Thank you.

 

I rebooted my Pi on Sunday and ADSBx feeder and MLAT client were started automaticaly so it is all fine

I'm feeding on port 51345 and waiting on that port to be assigned

Next step is to see what happens when the next PiAware image comes out and I do an auto update...

 

That error is due to Google refusing to give altitude for free anymore. FA ADSBx combo image 3.5.3 MLAT will never start.




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

--lon LON --alt ALT [--privacy] --user USER

I did set the altitude myself with the input box during the setup and I checked on the generated command line that the altitude is correct.
I saw the request to google in the code but what would it be used for if the user is asked to enter the altitude himself?

 

I don't know what exactly you did.

The script method setup using github and ./setup is only for a base FA image.

This Google error only affects the prebuilt 3.5.3 FA ADSBx that was on ADSBx forum.

If you used script method AND used the prebuilt ADSBx image ... ummm ... the script probably over wrote the files in question ...

I'm guessing you ran the setup on the pre-built image that had ADSBx scripts installed. IT wrote over them and had them start.

You image is probably all goofy.

If you can easily upgrade and want to upgrade to 3.6.3 ...

I did this from an FA 3.6.3 image:

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

 

Oh then you are good to go. I didn't test it on the base FA 3.6.3, I did

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

then installed using above and everything worked.

ssh in and use htop

sudo apt install htop

if needed

hit F5

use arrow keys to find mlat-client and see what the --user parameter is set to .. .. that will be the name in the MLAT matrix and map dot


You might want to

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
