Hi all, I'm trying to feed MLAT data from two different receivers : - TK1BI-LFKJ4, using RTL-SDR and dump1090 -> All is OK, receiver is sync'ed with peers - TK1BI-LFKJ5, using a FlightFeeder -> NOT WORKING, no sync with peers Something seems to be wrong with the FlightFeeder setup. I'm grabbing beast flow on the FlightFeeder with a home-made Python software, doing some filtering, and sending it to mlat-client. The mlat-client log shows some stats, and the client does feed data to the server. But the stats page on adsbx.org always shows "No sync with peers". This receiver is located at 20km from the previous one, and on a mountain with great visibility. Both receive the same traffic at 90%. On the FlightFeeder SkyAware web page, I can see the reception works, and I also can see that the FlightAware MLAT works (I can track aircrafts in MLAT from the FA mlat-server). The problem only seems to occur when trying to feed MLAT data to third-party mlat-servers. I have the problem on adsbexchange, but also on VRSW : no sync with peers. Is it possible that the MLAT timestamps given by the FlightFeeder be corrupted / scrambled, which could prevent use of third-party MLAT servers ? Any other idea ? Thank you in advance, kind regards from Ajaccio, Corsica.
You'll need to use --input-type radarcape_gps for beast data coming from the Flightfeeder. Code: --input-type radarcape_gps I'm not sure why you would interface with some home made software, but ok.
Hi, Thank you for your answer. I tried merely all the options, but not this one... It seems to work Sorry, but I'm still a newbie in the ADS-B world ;-) Home-made software is for learning. I would like to be able to deal with various positioning data flows for radioamateur purposes, and ADS-B is one of them. I also needed to upgrade my programming skills with Python3 AsyncIO. Getting an ADS-B flow from a FlightFeeder, decode / analyze / display, then send it back to other peers via a TCP server, in the same of in a different format, was a good exercise to understand exactly how things work So, you'll get two new feeders over LFKJ. And maybe a few other ones in Corsica in the future... Kind regards
Thank you for feeding, in case you like to talk about coding stuff, be sure to come by in the discord: https://discord.gg/ErEztqg Maybe keep the data flows for experimentation and feeding separate? You can still forward them to another instance of your own software.
Thank you. I'm not (yet) on Discord, but it's in the ToDo list. Home-made software is for learning, testing, and local radioamateur applications. About the feeds, of course, you'll get a copy of the original/unparsed data from the receivers...
