Help with Custom Feed

Hi, I'm attempting to Claim A Feed and looking at the Custom Feed – How To, I changed my port number on Virtual Radar Server to the one in my area that did not have any traffic, but ADS-B Exchange disappears form VRS with the new port number, if I change the port number back to 41000 it shows back up in VRS any help would be appreciated

 

Hi, Thanks for the help I tried the setting but still no traffic with the zCons port number here is a screenshot

[4/9/2018 7:11:54 PM] [Custom adsbexchange.] [Disconnected] SOCKET (local=xxx.xx.17.2:57096, remote=xxx.114.60.74:53078) disconnected

 

Please don't feed with VRS. Use a Pi. VRS has so many issues .....

So many people setup VRS incorrectly, feed our own feed back to us in a feedback loop and just get IP banned.

 

Hi,James I'm using radarcape not sure about the pi vrs do you know of any tutorial

Thanks

 

You're feeding with VRS using a radarcape?

One of these?

 

Hi Jame, yes that's correct, I have one of those, I know that it has built-in feeders, but I can't find any built feeder for adsbexchange

Thanks

 

Probably does not exist. What operating system is it? Beast needs sent to feed.adsbexchange.com:30005 - simple shell script can do that but ..

http://wiki.modesbeast.com/Radarcape:About_the_Radarcape

There are sharing networks for aircraft data. Flightradar24 is using a branded version of the Radarcape as their device that feeds data into their servers. The Radarcape as delivered from us also contains a way how to share data with Flightradar24, either anonymously or with a sharing key provided by them. We have also built-in feeders for FlightAware and OpenSky Network.


However

Seems to be debian linux based .. so ... you should be able to ssh in and install mlat client and forward the beast data

 

Hi, James thanks for the help, yes its Debian here are some of the version OS Linux version 4.1.30-ti-r69 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.9.2 (Debian 4.9.2-10) ) #1 SMP Sun Aug 14 11:23:09 UTC 2016

can you recommend a malt client?

 

https://github.com/mutability/mlat-client

Indeed. Install from source or use the script? maybe....

Assuming radarcape is running dumpo1090 and has the same ports. This is going to take some a bit of trial and error but should go smoothly if you have ssh / command line experience

Look at script .... it just downloads from git and uses dpkg-buildpackage



# Check if the mlat-client git repository already exists.
if [ -d mlat-client ] && [ -d mlat-client/.git ]; then
# If the mlat-client repository exists update the source code contained within it.
cd mlat-client >> $LOGFILE
git pull >> $LOGFILE 2>&1
git checkout tags/$MLATCLIENTTAG >> $LOGFILE 2>&1
else
# Download a copy of the mlat-client repository since the repository does not exist locally.
git clone https://github.com/mutability/mlat-client.git >> $LOGFILE 2>&1
cd mlat-client >> $LOGFILE 2>&1
git checkout tags/$MLATCLIENTTAG >> $LOGFILE 2>&1
fi
echo 34
sleep 0.25
# Build and install the mlat-client package.
dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc >> $LOGFILE 2>&1
cd .. >> $LOGFILE
sudo dpkg -i mlat-client_${MLATCLIENTVERSION}*.deb >> $LOGFILE

 

Hi, James thank you for all the help this is my first time working with Debian

 

No better time to learn. I don't have one to test on, so I can't help you there. Not even sure what that runs .. if it's dump1090 or something else



SSH in

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install htop
htop

see whats running ...




sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/mutability/mlat-client.git
cd mlat-client
dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc
cd..
sudo dpkg -i mlat-client .... whatever it is .... .deb

then bash scripts ... to launch it

 

Thank you, everyone for all the help, I will look at adding it to Debian on my Radarcape
