Adding 978 Traffic to v6.1?

[phodge]

Got all the 978 hardware installed and dongles serialized. Piaware-status output shows dump1090, MLAT, faup1090 all connected but also shows:

PiAware ADS-B UAT client (faup978) is not running.
Local ADS-B UAT receiver (dump978) is not running.
no program appears to be listening for UAT connections on port 30978.
faup978 is NOT connected to the ADS-B UAT receiver.
got ‘couldn’t open socket: connection refused’
dump978 is NOT producing data on localhost:30978.

I thought v6.1 added all the components for picking up 978 traffic. The SD card has ben upgraded in-place several times now. Is that the problem, or do I need to download additional components?

Did you configure as shown in step “6 - Configure UAT 978” below?

5 - Serialize dongles if using UAT 978: (CLICK HERE)

If you want to recieve both ES1090 and UAT978, then two dongles are required, one for 1090 and other for 978. In this case you will have to serialize dongles so that correct dongle+antenna sets are used by dump1090-fa and dump978-fa.

For 1090 Mhz dongle: use 8-digit serial # 00001090
For 978 Mhz dongle : use 8-digit serial # 00000978

Note: You can use any other serial numbers if you want, but do not use single digit serial numbers (0 to 9) or (01 to 09), as these may conflict with device numbers. Use at least two digit numbers like 21 or 93 etc)

6 - Configure UAT 978

sudo piaware-config uat-receiver-type sdr
sudo piaware-config rtlsdr-device-index 00001090
sudo piaware-config uat-sdr-device driver=rtlsdr,serial=00000978

# Reboot Pi to implement configuration settings
sudo reboot

7 - Check Status

sudo systemctl status piaware  
sudo systemctl status dump1090-fa  
sudo systemctl status dump978-fa

Oops, I omitted step #6. After entering those commands and rebooting all is working fine. It also appears almost two years of graphs1090 data isn’t affected by the addition of dump978 data. Now it’s time for gain tweaking. Thanks again!
