I found an error in dump1090-fa’s interactive mode. It seems easy to fix but is very annoying because its a format bug in the output.
In red, the numbers are ou of range because the format of the numbes are 1digit if less than 10, and 2 digits if greater. In the normal counting, no worries, but whem the count restarts, 1 become 10 to 19, 2 become 20 to 29, etc
In green, when the speed is greater than 1000, all data is pushed 1 character ahead
If someone could relay this bug to the developer, I’ll appreciate.
Thanks
Hi,
Not a fix, but a possible way of working around the issue.
Dump1090-fa does have the bug you mentioned in the timeout column.
However, instead of viewing the dump1090-fa in interactive mode, you could try instead using view1090-fa, which will then connect to that same copy of dump1090-fa which is already running.
View1090-fa does not have that bug, and the timeout counter works normally.
Here are the command options for view1090-fa. By default, it will automatically connect to 127.0.0.1:30005 and connect to dump1090-fa, assuming it is running on the same system. You can customize the other options to make it look however you like.

Dan,
Tested and… same error
It is just a matter of right justify with 2 digits

ps: I will try to update the version and see if it is solved
Dan,
Changing versions is taking longer because I guess I will have to change everything (reinstall new version of raspi)
