I no longer appear on the Mlat Matrix

So I assume this means something has gone wrong, station name is Melk-RPI and used to show on https://www.adsbexchange.com/sync-3/ - I'm UK based and running an RPI with beast receiver.
Not sure how long I've been missing off this matrix but I know I'm sharing to FA, 360Radar and FR24 at the moment so not sure what might have gone wrong.

You will. It's probably just in the cycle .. they don't always show on the map

 

Ok, thanks - I can see it now

 

I installed a new pi with the adsb exchange image. I find most never connects properly.

Any idea?

Starting MLAT CLIENT WITH NAME adsb-tech-007_efce4f_1.26vlan LAT 5a.bcd ALT 195 LONG --.xyz
mlat-client 0.2.6 starting up


It connects at TCP network level, but then disconnected, waits 30 secs then repeats

I can't paste output from command line here as it tells me it's SPAM


Constantly goes through this 30 sec cycle. Never gets a response from srvers after the TCP handshake.

 

It will. You're probably UK server? That thing is always overloaded.

 

Yes, in UK. I see it finally connected today after I changed sometime out settings, so it waited longer for heatbeats.

I do see this often in log though, what does it mean

Code:

 No binary formatter available, falling back to text format

With debug enabled I see info being sent, but in the MLAT matrix don't see any data about syncs with others, and coverage is empty in the coverage map on adsbexchange.

that's promethueus or grafana normal operations - and there are multiple forum posts about it. In future additions it will be sent to /dev/null so nobody sees the output and feels compelled to worry about it.
