Benefits of running modesfiltered on a RPi: low power consumption

Since modesfiltered is Java based, it can run on different hardware. In the photo below the software runs on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B with a RTL-SDR dongle. On the right hand side you see a power-measuring device Voltcraft Energy-Check 3000. The display shows 3.4 W. Even though this measurement is n...

The "Location online" on website should not be considered as a measure for "fall out". The table is cleared every minute. The "active" time strongly depends on location. A normal station has around 20 reports per day between 7 and 16 o'clock. Unfortunately this behaviou...

Re: RPI Problems....perhaps Java failure?

Hello Magic57,
sounds like that you have not Java 8 / 52 installed as you already supposed.

Please check the version of your installed java and the operating system.

Code: Select all

java -version
cat /etc/os-release

Re: unable to install on Rpi

Thanks for beeing patient with the tool. I will take up your case/comments and try to improve the Setup guide.

Some users reported problems with the newer versions so please keep checking the reports of your station on the website and locally under /var/log/modes.log.

Always good reception!
