Running the latest version of Piaware on a B+ and it runs great, right up until around 7 pm local (midnight UTC). Around that time, it stops talking to Flightaware for some reason, which I notice when I check my stats page. I work evenings, so I’m not home to reset it till after 10 pm. Once I reset it, it seems to return to normal until about the same time the next evening. Has anyone else experienced this? The only thing I know to do is set a cron job to reboot around 7 or so every night.

I connected to the Pi via ssh when I got home and ran checked netstat. Everything looks normal except perhaps the large Recv-Q for piaware.
pi@piaware ~ $ sudo netstat -antp

Can you send the output of /tmp/piaware.out and/or /tmp/piaware.out.yesterday during the problem period?
The yesterday file is no longer there. The current .out file started when I rebooted the Pi last night and it is pasted below:

Hi. I don’t think anything in this paste indicates a problem. Here’s my guess: Remember, the times are in UTC aka GMT. You appear to be in Missouri so it’s UTC-6:00 so 7:00 UTC is 1 AM Central. Seeing as how the progression of message counts reported at five minute intervals goes 31, 10, 8, 2, 10, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 18, 62 I think there just wasn’t an aircraft in range from around 1:28 AM until about 1:48 AM, the wee hours of the morning.
I’m in Illinois. The actual problem usually occurs around 7pm local time, although it didn’t do it tonight. I know it’s then because I check my stats from time to time while I’m at work and after 7 local time, FA will say my Piaware was last seen a number of hours earlier before finally showing an anomaly.
The same problem started again tonight around 8pm local time. I’ve rebooted and even shutdown and restarted, but my stat page reports my receiver was last seen 2 hours ago, as of the time I’m typing this. I looked at the live page on my Pi and there are plenty of aircraft being detected by it, but FA is still showing the anomaly.

And, of course, a few minutes after I typed the last message things returned to normal. Weird.
Hate to bring this post up again, but the problem still exists. I am away from home at the moment and checking my stats I see that my unit was last seen 14 hours ago. I’m not there to reboot it, so it’ll have to wait till I get back. No idea why this keeps happening.
Are you able to communicate with the raspberry pi (ie does it respond to pings from other computers on the same network). Wireless network issues are somewhat common with the raspberry pi. I believe the problem stems from the bad USB stack. You may want to follow the instructions listed here: post152153.html#p152153 to automatically reboot the raspberry pi if you have network issues.
I’m not home to do it right now and cannot connect from here. Usually, I can connect via ssh from another computer on my network, but sometimes I’m not even able to do that, so I have to just unplug it. I’ve had this problem with it using the wireless dongle and when I used the wired network, too. I’ll take a look at the link you provided, thanks!

I had the same ‘no response’ from my RPi on my wireless network. Turns out the wifi adapter was going into sleep mode. This fixed it: raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt … 5&p=479174
Don’t know if it’ll work for you since you’re seeing it while hard-wired.
Enter the following command, if it returns a “1” then it would be a good idea to try the that fix. Once you create the file, then just simply reboot the raspberry pi. Confim that it is working by re-tunning the command below and it should now return a “0”.
cat /sys/module/8192cu/parameters/rtw_power_mgnt
My system had no stats for the first time ever tonight. I have no problem viewing the local web page and it shows planes being seen fine, so I know the RX and wifi are working . Is there anything I should be looking for when this happens? I rebooted and after a bit it was sending data to FA again.
Do you know how to connect to it and view /tmp/piaware.out ? If not, we’ll soon be adding a web interface for viewing the logs.
Nice feature. Consider adding a ‘button’ for:
Maybe also a hot link button to the forums.
I am experiencing a similar problem where my PiAware setup (1.16) stopped sending data to FA. It still shows live data in the local browser, but the piaware.out log file only reports the following in the last lines:

Any idea how to fix this? Thx!
(edit: i just did a “sudo reboot” via ssh and this fixed the issue for the moment, but as far as I see it this has happened before + wasn’t version 1.16 optimized to fix this issue where a failed connection also means that it will not reconnect?)
It looks like you might have a local network problem. Can you post more lines of the piaware.out?
Might be worth a restart too.
Yes, I just did a reboot via ssh and it is working now. Thx!
This network problem (DNS resolving?) - is there any way I can prevent this in future?
My connection to flightaware keeps dying. It still shows local output, but when doing a piaware-status, it will show not connected to piaware. I just implemented the fix listed on this page to disallow the wifi device sleeping and had previously entered the auto reboot on not network connectivity fix. Problem is, it need to reboot when it loses its connection to flightaware!
