Join the site with Raspberry Pi

Hi all,

we set up a new install guide for RPi: https://www.live-military-mode-s.eu/Rpi/

You can find a README.TXT with additional info and instructions inside the zip file.

Most important: fill the variables.txt!

Cheers

Re: Help needed to test new reporting tool

The default output port of dump1090 for BaseStation format is 30003. Modesfiltered is configured to use this port by default. You can override it with the parameter -port followed by a number. If you want to use a second port (parameter -port2) for MLAT data then you have to configure piaware to out...

Re: Help needed to test new reporting tool

Hello Roy, please check the parameters in the script /etc/init.d/modes.sh!
Do they fit your setup?
If so, try "java -jar modesfiltered -port 30005" from command line. This sould give you some lines of: "stringarray to short" and "no MSG symbol.

Re: Help needed to test new reporting tool

Hello Stefan,

your setup is ok now. The program just received a message with a wrong format (altitude missing). This is often the case. There is nothing to set beside the location name (variables.txt).

Thanks for reporting!

Re: Help needed to test new reporting tool

Hello Capt_Zeek, Thanks for reporting the errors! Modesfiltered works with Win10, I just tested it this morning. So I assume a problem with your settings or setup. I get exceptions of type "F: Connection refused", if I supplied a wrong port. Try "-port 30005" this should give you...

Re: Pi problems

Hello ktul_fueler, the first error (Null pointer in line 173) seems to be a bug in the "old" version of modes.jar. It tries to access element 17 (Squawk code) of an array, whose length was not checked before. Messages of type 7 (Air To Air Message) usually do not contain a Squawk field. Th...

Re: Pi problems

Hello ktul_fueler, check the output of the modes.jar by typing: cat /var/log/modes.log If there is something like "exception" ... "checked 3 times" ... "given up" then the program lost the connection to the SQL-database. It will not try again to connect. You can kill th...
