How-to Get VRS-Like Coverage Map on RPi

evangelyul · February 14, 2018, 2:52pm

hi my setup for windoze and rpi3 (B+). getting input from Planeplotter 30303.
broken down command line for readability’s sake.
must not use - (dash) as program tries to interpret it as command. so ADS_B is ok but ADS-B is error…
underscore (_) is prefered.

for windoze mm2.bat

@echo off
rem avoids all in a single line...

Noted that using port 30106 for MLAT results in display (see screenshot below) keeps on switching from MLAT to ADS-B and back to MLAT.

Using 30105 overcomes this problem

Updated in the first post
--inConnectId 127.0.0.1:30105:MLAT

.

abcd567 · February 20, 2018, 7:33pm

Noticed that for MLAT (green) planes, Source ID still keeps on switching from MLAT to ADS-B and back.

Based on @evangelyul 's advice, changed
--inConnectId 127.0.0.1:30005:ADS-B
to
--inConnectId 127.0.0.1:30005:ADSB

i.e. Removed dash (-) from ADS-B to make it ADSB.

Repeated switching stopped, at least for now.
Will keep an eye to see if it is a permanent solution.

Correction made in post #1 also

Thank you. I have been Googling a plotter and your notes worked first time.

katwijk · February 22, 2018, 1:53pm

I get this error and I can’t find the package.
I’ts on a rpi B+ with stretch

/home/pi/mm2/./modesmixer2_rpi1: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any ideas?

try

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libssl.so.1.0.0

Edit:
Actually I have tried Pi1 version on B+ with Jessie , not Stretch. The Pi1 version of ModeSMixer2 is for Wheezy, which luckily worked on Jessie.

I will shortly try it on B+ with Stretch, by burning a microSD card with Stretch.

katwijk · February 22, 2018, 2:58pm

Tried that it Will give this

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libssl.so.1.0.0
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'libssl.so.1.0.0'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libssl.so.1.0.0'

I hope it Will be possible to just correct it, because the rpi is on a remote location, So I’d rather don’t want to create another SD card

evangelyul · February 22, 2018, 3:20pm

check following, might work for you. not tested as using jessie…

[ModeSDeco2 and ModeSMixer2 - console programs for RTLSDR and transcoding]

for the libssl try

sudo apt-get install openssl

still waiting update from Sergsero ref stretch !

katwijk · February 22, 2018, 3:38pm

Well that solved the first error

However now I get

./mm2.sh: line 1: 15619 Illegal instruction /home/pi/mm2/./modesmixer2_rpi1 --inConnectId 127.0.0.1:30005:ADSB --inConnectId 127.0.0.1:30106:MLAT --web 8787 --location 52.1999:4.3978

Tried with sudo, but then also illegal instruction

OpenSSL was already the newest version

evangelyul · February 22, 2018, 3:40pm

did you try the jessie version Sep 2017 ?
maybe this will work.
but like I said we all wait for Sergsero…

ed1. sometimes you get a line error but program still works…

ed2 /home/pi/mm2/modesmixer2… NOT /home/pi/mm2/./ etc…
use ./filename only when in the same directory with file.

brgds evangel

abcd567 · February 22, 2018, 6:09pm

@evangelyul

On my Desktop (Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz × 2 )
Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit
ModeSMixer2 (modesmixer2_x86_64_20170924.tgz)

katwijk · February 22, 2018, 8:34pm

@abcd567
@evangelyul

Yep, this is the same I get.
My Linux knowledge doesn’t go far enough to look for a fix

So I gues I just wait and hope someone finds a solution.
Thanks for the help

abcd567 · February 22, 2018, 10:32pm

@katwijk
Meanwhile, pending solution for Stretch on B+, you can burn a spare microSD card with Jessie image or Piaware SD card image (which is also Jessie) and use it with your Pi B+. This combination works OK with modesmixer2_rpi1.

evangelyul · February 23, 2018, 12:20am

ok mm2 v Sep/2017 works in vbox VM debian 9. however impossible so far to run it under qemu arm-VM
due lack of another rpi.
strange thing is that libssl.1.1.0 exist in /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/

guess waiting is in order…

idh · March 18, 2018, 10:02pm

New version of modesmixer2 now available including some versions for Deb9

w7psk · April 9, 2018, 2:25am

I know its an old thread, but Im upgrading my B+ to a 3 this week (its on the way) and wonder what course of action for upgrading you would recommend. 3 should run the B+ SD card just fine.

infomb · April 9, 2018, 12:05pm

hhmmm…
on my rpi2 (with jessie) I installed as described and my mm2.sh looks this way

/home/pi/mm2/modesmixer2
–inConnectId 127.0.0.1:30005:ADSB
–inConnectId 127.0.0.1:30106:MLAT
–web 8787
–location (mylat:long) \

it works, but it takes some time till MLAT a/c are coming up … be patiently and wait
(I installed all the stuff several times, but every time no MLAT showed up)

abcd567 · April 9, 2018, 2:04pm

Hopefully when you slip your B+ microSD card in Pi3 and power up, it should work ok, but I am not sure as I never tried it (dont have Pi3, have only Pi B+ and Pi2). You will know when you try it.

I am sure of one thing: your modesmixer2 install for B+ is not going to work in Pi3. You have to delete the mm2 folder with its contents by following command:

sudo rm -rf mm2

Afrer deleting mm2 folder, make a fresh install of modesmixer2 using method described for Pi2/3
