Updated config file?

flygpagen · May 22, 2021, 04:40:23 PM

@abcd567 Did you manually enable the Python-section of the config?

abcd567 · May 22, 2021, 05:39:45 PM

@flygpagen

There is no Python section, the python is used in the [mlat] section.

The mlat command line in file /etc/rbfeeder.ini has wrong python version number i.e. python3.5. This works for Stretch, but fails for Buster. As now everyone uses Buster which required python3.7, manually enabling this line will result in failure of mlat. Leave it commented-out (i.e. leave the # at it's start)

The correct mlat command line with python3.7 is built into the rbfeeder, so you dont have to do anything, just leave mlat command line commented-out (i.e. let # stay at it's start).

Thought so, thanks. Can't find any errors on my side.

It will be something simple flygpagen

Sudo apt remove & purge and move on?

flygpagen · May 23, 2021, 09:27:17 AM

Did an update on another instance that is based on dump1090-fa. Apart from needing to reboot to get MLAT running (as seen in the statistics at least) no problem there.

flygpagen · May 23, 2021, 11:55:49 AM

Removal, reinstallation and reboot solved the problem.

Great looking good now flygpagen, thanks

And there seems to be yet another rbfeeder update...does anybody know what has changed since the last one?

Does AirNav publish a changelog?

Thanks & kind regards,

I would also be interested in seeing a changelog, if that were possible? Earlier today, I upgraded to the 0.4.2 version of rbfeeder (Raspberry Pi), having skipped version 0.4.1

I noted that, compared with my previous (0.3.x) version, there are increased CPU resources for demodulation. See attached graphs showing the uptick.

I've tried 3 times to post a reply with the commands but I get an error message from the forums each time. There are many guides available in the forums so do a search.

Thanks as always abcd.

Does anybody have any idea what the weather decoding bit is all about and if/how it might be utilised?
