Join the site with Raspberry Pi

Post by modesfan »

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

Is also the program running on the PI a new version?

Hello swiss_radar,
the advertised program is the modesfiltered which previously has been handled in the topic "Help needed to test new reporting tool".
There was a minor change in the program (release 5), but there is no need to update an already running station with release 3 or 4.
You can check the logfile. The first line should give you the version.

Code: Select all

head /var/log/modes.log
In case you want to update, replace the modesfiltered.jar and restart the service:

Code: Select all

sudo service modes.sh restart

Hello modesfan,

modesfiltered is running flawlessly on my Rasp 3, much appreciated and thanks for your great work !

Unfortunately all logs from my station are shown without altitude on Alberts website.

Is this the case due to the Rasp feeding format ??

Cheers

Allright, thanks modesfan.

Currently I am not running the modesfiltered.jar, I am still running the modes.jar. Are you also the developer of modes.jar?

No I am not the author. In this case I recommend you to uninstall

Code: Select all

sudo rm /etc/init.d/modes.sh
sudo update-rc.d modes.sh remove
and install modesfiltered.

Finally found the time to update live mode s client on raspi. No errors in log so seems to run smoothly.
Just wait for some traffic to be logged. :D

Swiss_radar, thanks for letting us know! Maybe something for you: the new version has a statistics output every 5 minutes. Good hunting!
