Hi, I'd live a couple of miles away from a militairy airbase and from a small local private airstrip and like to follow the (military) aircraft around my home. Because i'd like to hobby with computers, it was a nicely project setting up my own reciever using a Rpi, FlightAware stick PRO and a small Antenna from China. As base for the software i use the ADSB-X image. That works great, good feeder statistics and also recieve MLAT data so i can follow the local F16's and the small private planes on my local dump1090/gmap.html. Because of the better UI and detailled aircraft information, next step was to set up a local VRS. I found a tut wich helps me step by step setting up VRS. This also works great, but there is one thing i can't get wordking into VRS.. Showing up MLAT aircraft. I put an reveiver in VRS for MLAT with 127.0.0.1:30104 but no messages are achieved. The reciever has state "connected". Part of the connection log into VRS: 0-Nov-2019 11:32:02 ADSB MLAT Miscellaneous Establishing connections on background thread 10-Nov-2019 11:32:02 ADSB MLAT Connected SOCKET (local=127.0.0.1:41316, remote=127.0.0.1:30104) connected 10-Nov-2019 11:33:03 ADSB MLAT Miscellaneous Background thread check has determined that connection SOCKET (local=127.0.0.1:41316, remote=127.0.0.1:30104) is idle - abandoning it 10-Nov-2019 11:33:03 ADSB MLAT Exception Exception caught by connection SOCKET (local=127.0.0.1:41316, remote=127.0.0.1:30104): interrupted 10-Nov-2019 11:33:03 ADSB MLAT Disconnected SOCKET (local=127.0.0.1:41316, remote=127.0.0.1:30104) disconnected 10-Nov-2019 11:33:08 ADSB MLAT Connected SOCKET (local=127.0.0.1:41418, remote=127.0.0.1:30104) connected 10-Nov-2019 11:35:03 ADSB MLAT Miscellaneous Background thread check has determined that connection SOCKET (local=127.0.0.1:41418, remote=127.0.0.1:30104) is idle - abandoning it 10-Nov-2019 11:35:03 ADSB MLAT Exception Exception caught by connection SOCKET (local=127.0.0.1:41418, remote=127.0.0.1:30104): interrupted When i look into Grafana i see MLAT aircraft count and those are showing up on the dump1090/gmap.html map. I read a lot of information, and tried some things, but notting helped. Please can some help me complete this last step setting up my reciever? Thanks a lot.
Try basestation protocol on 31003. Otherwise you'll have to modify the mlat-client command line to open a beast listen port for the mlat results, adding this: --results beast,listen,31005 Then connect to that port. Port 30104 is not for data output, only for input. The mlat-client connects to that port to push the data to dump1090. As described above, you need a listen, not a connect port in mlat-client. To check the current command-line: pgrep -a mlat-client
