My piAware keeps crashing - that is, FlightAware reports no data. I can Putty into my RaspPi (in the attic) and see that’s it’s up - but have to send a reboot to get piAware reporting again. It happens every few days, both before and after the V5 upgrade. Is there some troubleshooting I can work on? Thanks!
When the issue occurs, check the dump1090-fa log as described in the above link, put it on pastebin.com and link it here.
Also check if you have any output for this command:
sudo dmesg --ctime | grep voltage
No output means good.
Statistically speaking most often it’s voltage issues as in power supply starting to go bad / USB extension dropping voltage.
2nd most often it’s the SDR itself that is going bad or a combination of both.
