Title: no data ???
Post by: dirkpitt on October 11, 2021, 12:01:19 AM

I have had my pi 3b+ working great last few yrs  no issues till recently .
I feed radarbox24 and flightaware  using a green rtl .
For some reason  flightaware stopped working , sending anything back in late August .  and now radarbox has stopped . When i investigated i found that after a power outage my pi would not boot
I reinstalled OS (buster) reinstalled piaware and radarbox  and now im back online with Radarbox but not sending data ?????  flightaware is not recognizing my pi  but radarbox is ????? I have looked and it says they are running  but no data is being sent .   I am online with the pi as this is what I used to post this

Buster is an old OS, I suggest that you update your set up which should enable you to upgrade to the latest feeder software.  See reply 6 of this thread for info https://forum.radarbox24.com/index.php?topic=105521.0

I think you got some mixup.
BUSTER is the current image for Raspberry Pi.
The STRETCH and JESSIE are the outdated ones.

You are missing the entire [client] part in your config file.
The [client] part contains feeder key. Without feeder key no data will be sent to RadarBox24.

Below is the full config file

Code: [Select]

sudo nano /etc/rbfeeder.ini
