But ... just adjust the gain accordingly .... That is the part I am not clear on. Can you point me to a thread or anything on that?
Well there is a gain setting in the config file. https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-scripts/wiki/Optimizing-gain
Liked what I saw in the Wiki about the automatic gain optimization, so I thought I would give it a try, but this is what I did and what I get: wget -q -O /tmp/autogain-install.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiedehopf/adsb-scripts/master/autogain-install.sh sudo bash /tmp/autogain-install.sh hash -r sudo reboot [email protected]:~ $ sudo autogain1090 sudo: autogain1090: command not found
I'd say you got errors during the install and didn't post them. Do the install again, line by line and check if there is some issue.
I bow to your wisdom! Thanks, seems if you run the wget twice and the install ZERO, that does not work very well! All running and again, thanks.
I'm gonna add 978 to my Pi 4 setup. Will the Pi 4 supply enough USB current to power 2 RTL-SDR dongles? I'm using the stock power supply that came with the Pi kit and it's been working fine for 1 dongle so far. I'm pretty sure it's 2 amps.
I've had my 978 feed running for a few days now and I've been tracking some nearby traffic. One thing I noticed is the range is always 0. Does the dump978-fa program not know my location?
So if it's skyview978 it's that that doesn't know your location, otherwise it's adsbexchange-978 service running readsb which doesn't know the location. I really don't know what exactly you're running so can't tell you which.
I ran into this problem running a standalone dump978-fa RPi recently. Skyaware978 uses a location provided by PiAware. I believe I resolved it by creating the directory/file here: Code: sudo nano /var/cache/piaware/location.env with text: Code: PIAWARE_LAT="XX.XXXXX" PIAWARE_LON="XX.XXXXX" PIAWARE_DUMP1090_LOCATION_OPTIONS="--lat XX.XXXXX --lon XX.XXXXX"
On a related note, I'm not seeing UAT traffic on my adsbexchange feeder map (other sources show), though I see it locally. My current /etc/default/adsbexchange-978 file source is below (ignore the commented source, was using that before moving to USBIP for the remote UAT RPi) with the rest of the file unchanged: # dump978-fa output: SOURCE="localhost:30978" #SOURCE="192.168.1.2:30978" I see a connection close and reopen in dump978-fa logs. Any input here would be great!
You can just edit /etc/default/skyview978 if you use that instead of creating that file. This thread is about the image so the actual displaying is done by adsbexchange-978 ... so it's all different.
You're really complicating this thread here a bit but anyhow: That's just how it is for the moment, the online feed map works on our image but not with the add-on 978 feed. Not really a priority to fix it either.
I'm running the standard adsbx Buster image with no additional feeders. My 1090 does know my location but not the 978 for some reason.
Yeah you'd need to edit /boot/adsbxenv-978 and add --lat 30.1 --lon 20.2 in one of the strings delimited by ""
