Basestation not connecting with Piaware 7.1

[mtaylor334]

Hi there
I was previously able to connect to Basestation using Piaware 6.0 but have just tried upgrading to Piaware 7.1 with a new Pi4 but unable to connect via network or wifi to Basestation.
All other programs seem to work including Planeplotter, VR and ADSB Exchange.

My MM2 setup is as follows:

–inConnectId 127.0.0.1:30005:ADSB
–inConnectId 127.0.0.1:30105:MLAT
–web 8787
– outServer sbs30006:10001
– location -33.0000:151.0000

I have also tried outServer sbs10001:10001 without success.

I would appreciate any one who can advise on possible issues causing the problem with this setup.

Many thanks
Mark

Mark, make sure there are no gaps between the two dashes and the outServer and the location entries, similar to the two inConnect and web connections above.

If that’s the case try --outServer sbs10001:10001 again.

Can you explain exactly what data you are trying to transfer?

@Kabe

As already pointed out by @Kabe, correct config is

--outServer sbs10001:10001

 

Please see this post:

pi@raspberrypi:~/modesmixer2 sudo ./modesmixer2 --inConnect localhost:30005 --inConnect localhost:30105 --outServer sbs10001:10001 --location 43.5xxx:-79.6xxx --web 8765

Thanks to all for your replies. Kabe pointed out my rookie error and alll is now working as it should.
Cheers

@wiedehopf, please see following conversation from 2016:

 

@obj

PiAware produces Basestation-port-30003-format output on port 30003, or Beast binary output on port 30005. Basestation may be able to consume one of these. (But interoperating with other systems is not Basestation’s strong point, from what I’ve seen second-hand)

@abcd567

I feel that Basestation case is similar to VRS, and like VRS, Basestation can get feed from Piaware directly without need of modeSMixer2. Please see obj’s post:

@invergordon

No, there are no compatible ports on piaware for Basestation. At least, not that I know of!

@edgy

I believe this is correct. Basestation uses a scrambled input that modesmixer has reverse engineered. Piaware has no interest in reverse engineering an obsolete proprietary program that is no longer supported.

@abcd567

please see following conversation from 2016:

Looks more like he’s converting data from a piaware sd-card install using modesmixer so the data can be processed by the Basesation software.
Thus your comments don’t apply because it’s the other direction.

@mtaylor334

All other programs seem to work including Planeplotter, VR and ADSB Exchange.

Those programs don’t consume the same data you connect Basestation to, do they?
Because adsbexchange for sure doesn’t want basestation data.
I suppose that comment was just to say the datasource mm2 connects to is working.
If you’re using the adsbexchange feed client, you could add this datasource to mm2

--inConnectId 127.0.0.1:30157:MLAT

Get your adsbexchange mlat results also displayed in Basestation / mm2.

If you’re using the adsbexchange feed client, you could add this datasource to mm2

 --inConnectId 127.0.0.1:30157:MLAT

Get your adsbexchange mlat results also displayed in Basestation / mm2.

 

MLAT planes are NOT displayed in Basestation unless following is done:

Open Settings → Data Settings → SBS-1.
By default, none of the “Message Filtering” options is checked.
Place a check mark besides “Process TIS-B Messeges” and the MLAT planes will appear in BaseStation map.

 

 

From ModeSMixer2, I am feeding many other sites. Due to restriction by Flightaware to not to feed their MLAT results to other sites, I have removed following lines from config file of my modesmixer2:

–inConnectId 10.0.0.21:30105:MLAT-Pi1
–inConnectId 10.0.0.22:30105:MLAT-Pi2
–inConnectId 10.0.0.23:30105:MLAT-Pi3

However as Adsbexchange has no restriction on feeding their MLAT results to other sites, I have following lines there:
--inConnectId 10.0.0.21:30157:MLTx-Pi1
--inConnectId 10.0.0.22:30157:MLTx-Pi2
--inConnectId 10.0.0.23:30157:MLTx-Pi3
