    Hi all, I have moved onto a PI having started with the stick and PC set-up I'm now up and running feeding into 360radar in the UK and I'm now looking to feed into ADSB what code do I need to feed both non MLAT and MLAT data?

    Thanks

    I guess your best option would be to follow the "script" method, BUT...
    you have already a mlat client installed, so you better to check before proceeding:
    what is the actual path of the radar360 mlat client?

    adsb exchange mlat client, as default, is deployed in /usr/bin

    Can be difficult to feed both from same Pi while same MLAT-client is used. One of installation scripts has to be modified to create different service.
    To feed non-MLAT data you can create simple script called fe. adsbexchange-netcat_maint.sh containing:
    Code:
    #! /bin/sh
while true
  do
    sleep 30
    /usr/bin/socat -u TCP:localhost:30005 TCP:feed.adsbexchange.com:30005
  done
    Make file executable and add call of this script to rc.local or crontab.
    Please post HTOP screenshot with mlat-client parameters.

    See above post by MDA ... for ADS-B traffic -- just using a bash script to send dump1090 beast port 30005 to feed.adsbexchange.com 30005.

    For MLAT ... you might need to start two instances of it with adsbexchange.com specific parameters.
