Right, except - as I stated, I found I made a typo in the NAME of the task - so - every hour - it was NOT stopping the incorrectly named task - if it would only do what I WANT it to do, instead of what I typed
-J-
Yeah i get that, but a regular reboot should still save the data.
Power loss is a different story ofc.
I can recommend a small Pi UPS to ride through the power loss. Works reliably even in a hot garage… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1GFX5LW?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
I also added a tower cooler to the system. Dropped the temps by 20 C degrees. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZCW27VK?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Had to move the mounting hardware around a bit to use both on the Pi. Have had two power bumps since the install, no data losses at all. Love it!!!
Well thank for that little product pointer. It looks like a nice package at a good price.
Pretty nifty, @astrodeveloper thanks for the link!
Hello to all,
I’ve been a user for a few months now, started with a generic dongle and a 6" antenna inside the sunroom to the blue dongle and a 12dB gain antenna mounted on the top of the house, still playing around for the final placement on it. I’m running sdr-enthusiasts in Portainer and recently discovered the beloved graphs. I recently disabled AGC and have been manually entering a value and observing the results but there are too many variables with this approach, I would like to be able to fine tune the gain and these graphs would greatly help.
Disclaimer: I started with Pi-hole & WG on another Raspi and understand the docker basics but there is still much to learn so I may be trying something that isn’t doable with my current setup.
I installed the graphs1090 but can’t get the webpage(s) to load, I did add Port 8542 to the Stack, but still no luck. One thing I noticed after installation is it said the web page can be reached at 192.168.50.201, but the pi is assigned a static IP at .20, not 201. I even tried .201 to no avail.
I see the mikenye docker is also a popular choice and I can start over with that if it’s required, I was just hoping I could access the graphs with the current setup.
Thanks for any assistance that can be provided.
This might help:
I’ll check it out, thanks.
That’s a fork of sdr-enthusiasts and just there if i contribute something to their stuff.
So it’s not quite the correct link.
@hpjohns2
The best guide is probably the gitbook: https://sdr-enthusiasts.gitbook.io/ads-b/
mikenye / piaware is probably the same as sdr-enthusiasts / piaware … and if it’s not that just means it will be outdated.
Apologies for the bad steer.
close enough
The readme compose yml points at the sdr-enthusiast releases anyway.
Thank you for this. I’ll admit, I was on a bit of a learning curve with it all. I didn’t know you could run multiple containers on a single .yml file. I was trying to edit the env/port/tmfps variables within the ultrafeeder parameters (without success) and finally added the pi-aware at the very end of the file and it fired right up. I did have to disable my current sdr-enthusiasts container before it all worked as expected but it’s up and running.
Is it my imagination or is the solid line to indicate maximum range a new thing? I don’t remember seeing it before.
I have the peak range straight blue line topper in my Range graph and I am using the 1090 graphs software that I installed more than a year and a half ago.
Thanks. I put my lack of observation down to old age
/edit
I know why - It’s because it normally looks like this with the line at the top.
Some dongles have have a pre-amp / LNA on the RF input. The Gain Graph does not take that into account.
The Gain shown is the Amp in the “front end” chip (usually R820T, R820T2 or R860)
One-time highest peak, I think.
243 Miles? Sweet!
