That's fine. binary formatter is correct fallback when needed. MLAT server is normally slow to connect sometimes and depending on your location it can get CPU overloaded. More dollas needed to buy more cpu cycles.
I tried later on at night, it finally connected. Now, why I have no aircraft positions? Why isn't my position showing? I can't login to Grafana and see the cool dashboard everybody seems to have. Sorry for all the questions, total noob at this Raspbian thing. Trying to wean off FA, have one of their dongles, the ProStick. Now, trying to get my Stratux kit modified to feed you adsbx and later will attempt to use my FA setup to do the same.
You have the lat and longitude for your location configured wrong. Change it in adsb-config.txt where you set everything up. This hemisphere ( ie Florida ) is west ... Latitude 27.994402 Longitude -81.760254 Longitude is negative. that's the typical mistake .... When it's correct, you should see distance rings over your location.
Thanks. Got the correct coordinates in now. It's weird, though. When I first burned the image and ran it, it was working fine, I could see planes in my location. Next time I ran it, aircraft disappeared. Regarding Grafana, my Pi is 3B. I see in the instructions to remove it. Can't access the Pi via PuTTY while it's running?
You have to change port number: ssh user: pi password: adsb123 port 3226 ssh [email protected]<ip address> -p 3226
you only need to remove and replace grafana for the Pi Zero .... i guess unless you don't want the UI at all
It's just that when I click on dashboard, the username and passwords supplied in the instructions, don't work. Since I changed the port number to log in to the pi via PuTTY, now the browser displays {{ alert title}} and beneath this, a small button.
it will unless you've changed it adsb / adsb admin / admin I have no idea what you are doing. Putty is just ssh terminal for windows. Changing the port for ssh in putty because the image runs ssh on 3226 and not the default port 22 If you put the IP of the Pi in your web browser you'll get the initial ui server by lighthttpd, that will give you option for dashboard, map, or shellbox (if enabled in config) is this Pi local or remote?
if it is a remote install then ... install https://zerotier.com/ and it will act like it's on your lan ... simple
Have no idea how to change either. I use PuTTY to access the Pi while it's running. If I need to edit something, like my coordinates, I take the card out and find the appropriate line to edit. Either way, I'm scrapping everything and starting all over. Thanks.
Was trying to get Rpi3 as a standalone wifi access point. Not getting much progress there so I'm changing strategy. Decided I would re install Raspbian stretch and adsbx v. 1.27, get that to work properly and then worry later about the stand alone wifi project. I'm finding that, I can't burn both at the same time. Etcher won't let me add both images before flashing to the card. Is this correct?
Absolutely not correct. The image file is a full disk image - so you only burn one .. if you burn it again it overwrites it. The Adsbx 1,27vlan image is Raspbian Stretch with dump1090 installed. You're making this much more difficult than it should be. Download the image unzip so you have a 3GB .img file burn the .img with etcher to at least a 4GB SD remove from pc reinsert into pc edit adsb-config.txt with appropriate wireless SSID, lat, long, feedername etc remove from pc put it in pi insert sdr in usb connect antenna power the pi wait a few minutes - it will resize drive and reboot just works place ip of pi in your local web browser all kinds of things are possible then 10.10.1.111 is what my wireless gives my pi
View attachment 285 View attachment 286 Is working for me now, I can even see the Grafana dashboard whereas my previous working config, I did not see. By trial and error got everything in. UTC and update clock, shows the same time. Is this right?
UTC is UTC time. Last Update is the last map update. So yes, that should be roughly the same time. Now get that antenna on the roof, so you can see some planes!
Started using again your image. I can see aircraft, Grafana works but the clocks are darkened. Is there a setting I overlooked in the configuration file?
