I have replaced everything, I’m thinking maybe an update broke the app.

The time between failures is becoming shorter. The temperature, when checked just now, after a reboot was 44-46. Shortly after reboot and checking temps, the dump1090 service stopped running again.

I’ve ordered a new power supply, just in case that is the issue.

What does the output above tell? What are possible solutions?

Thank you for reading this.

wiedehopf · February 7, 2020, 3:00pm

Status is usually cuts the log short, use this:

sudo journalctl --no-pager -u dump1090-fa

The official power supply is always a good idea.

USB extensions are also often an issue.

Did you install FR24 by chance?

Sometimes it’s just the rtl-sdr device going bad.

lansoftware · February 7, 2020, 3:13pm

No.

What is the rtl-sdr device?

At this point, a reboot does NOT bring back dump1090! Immediately after reboot, the logs show:

[2020-02-07 10:05 EST] no ADS-B data program is serving on port 30005, not starting multilateration client yet
[2020-02-07 10:06 EST] no ADS-B data program seen listening on port 30005 for 183 seconds, next check in 60s

What is the issue here?

These message are repeated every 30 seconds or so:

This is fishy:

dump1090-fa 3.8.0~bpo9+1 starting up

Is there a way to uninstall and re-install?

wiedehopf · February 7, 2020, 5:44pm

DVB-T stick / dongle / rtl-sdr compatible receiver / SDR (software defined radio)

A pity that it doesn’t show any errors.

sudo apt purge dump1090-fa
sudo apt install dump1090-fa

You might want to run the undervoltage and receiver tests:
Debug commands · wiedehopf/adsb-wiki Wiki · GitHub

Alternatively let’s just see if it shows any errors on the console:

sudo systemctl stop piaware dump1090-fa
dump1090-fa

lansoftware · February 8, 2020, 5:37pm

Thank you wiedehopf for your help and suggestions.

I think this issue began a few weeks ago, after I ran an extra apt-get command (found in a topic - I forget which). My conclusion was a corrupted system. And, maybe too many incorrect shutdown/restart cycles.

I made a decision to clean up! This included downloading and installing a new Buster img on the SD card. This pi runs headless, so I added 2 files to the /boot directory - ssh (empty) and wpa_supplicant.conf (wi-fi config). After booting up and connecting via SSH, I was able to install piaware and dump1090 and follow abcd567’s instructions on how to restore a feeder-id

The pi & piaware/dump1090 have been humming smoothly since then. Hooray!

abcd567 · February 8, 2020, 8:05pm

It is recommended that the country matches to the country where the device is installed

I am having problems with a Pi0w and Flightaware Pros stick +. When I connect my Nooelec, I get data. When I switch to the stick, nothing. I use the proper power supply that came with the pi0 kit. Here are the dumps of piaware-status:

Nooelec:

dump1090-fa (pid 399) is listening for ES connections on port 30005.

Any help?

wiedehopf · March 6, 2020, 5:42pm

Not really made for the power requirements the ProStick+ has.

You can try a different OTG cable with less resistance.

Kits by some seller on the internet, doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s a good power supply.

Really only the official RPI power supplies are of known quality.

bernardgervais · March 6, 2020, 5:57pm

Pi0W is mentioned ok on the Flightaware site… And I’ve seen videos and threads about it on the net.

I am using the a Cana Kit “2.5Amp Power Supply for Raspberry PI”.

Again, my Nooelec works fine.

dongerrard204 · March 6, 2020, 6:44pm

What are you running for antenna (and any adapters), given that the 2 dongles are likely different connectors.
MCX for the Nooelect, SMA for FA.

Many new folks have tried to use “SMA-RP” adapters rather than SMA adapters - which are missing the centre pin.
Several helpful threads on the forum on that issue.

chrislfa · March 6, 2020, 6:57pm

Saying something offhand like that can send someone down an expensive and wrong path. Do you have a reference for this claim? It contradicts FlightAware’s own info which states the Pi Zero W can be used.

bernardgervais · March 6, 2020, 7:37pm

I have the proper adapters which I purchased with the kit, MCX to SMA for Nooelec and strictly SMA for the stick.

In Foreflight, the stick shows it is connected to Foreflight and running, ready to send data (which it does not). Power off, swap for the Nooelec, it does all of it. Power off, swap the stick back in, same behaviour.

Latest version of 3.8.0 of piware.

The reason I have both a stick and a Nooelec is becasue I built a Stratux kit for my aircraft (with the Nooelec) and figured I would build a Flightaware box for home.

wiedehopf · March 6, 2020, 8:04pm

It’s almost always a power issue …

With the extra OTG cable, the extra resistance can easily lead to a voltage drop that creates an issue.

On the other hand maybe you swapped USB ports when changing the SDRs?
@bernardgervais
(i’m not completely familiar with the pi zero, but … one port is for power input the other one for the OTG device?)

I suppose it could also be that the ProStick+ is bad?

Checking for undervoltage can’t hurt just in case:

sudo dmesg --ctime | grep voltage

(wouldn’t necessarily reveal a resistance issue with the OTG cable)

I suppose you could check the FA prostick+ on another computer, but doing this on Windows is really annoying.

bernardgervais · March 6, 2020, 8:36pm

The swap I make is at the receiving end of the the OTG connector. This is my second stick, I had the same problem with a first one and retuned it to Amazon. The problem is most likely on my end. I tried another power supply (USB from my iPad’s charging block) - same issue.

Anything I need to write to the SD card that is particular to the FA stick? Port, etc. I have limited knowledge of SSH and terminal stuff.

sudo dmesg --ctime | grep voltage just returns to the prompt.

(I’m on a MAC.)

wiedehopf · March 6, 2020, 8:42pm

Well you do it on the RPi console
If you did, that means there is at least no obvious under-voltage condition.

If you have another OTG adapter, you could try one.
The resistance in the adapter could well be the issue.
The Nooelec uses less power so it’s less of an issue.

If you have a powered USB hub, hang that on the OTG and connect the ProStick+ to the powered hub.
That would eliminate a power issue.

To the Pi the rtl-sdr compatible SDRs (which both of your sticks are) look pretty much the same.
No need to change anything.
