No Data to FA

FlightAware ADS-B Flight Tracking
1

Hello,

I am getting the below:

pi@raspberrypi : ~ $ sudo piaware-status

PiAware master process (piaware) is running with pid 1203.

PiAware ADS-B client (faup1090) is not running.

PiAware ADS-B UAT client (faup978) is running with pid 2149.

PiAware mlat client (fa-mlat-client) is not running.

Local ADS-B receiver (dump1090-mutabi) is running with pid 583.

Local ADS-B UAT receiver (dump978-fa) is running with pid 2141.

no program appears to be listening for connections on port 30005.

dump978-fa (pid 2141) is listening for connections on port 30978.

faup1090 is NOT connected to the ADS-B receiver.

faup978 is connected to the ADS-B UAT receiver.

piaware is connected to FlightAware.

got ‘couldn’t open socket: cannot assign requested address’

dump1090 is NOT producing data on localhost:30005.

dump978 is producing data on localhost:30978.

Your feeder ID is XXXX (configured at /etc/piaware.conf:10)

Any suggestions?

Why did you change the configuration to receive 978 MHz?

Is that on purpose?

3

Most likely you changed to UAT/978 MHz reception without knowing that that is not what you want.

To revert to the normal settings:

sudo piaware-config receiver-type rtlsdr
sudo piaware-config uat-receiver-type none
sudo systemctl restart piaware
sudo systemctl restart dump1090-fa

Stop deleting your posts :slight_smile:

According to the screenshot you misconfigured fr24feed.
It needs to be set to receiver: beast-tcp and host: 127.0.0.1:30005

Use this, it will fix the fr24feed settings: Bundle install for dump1090fa · wiedehopf/adsb-wiki Wiki · GitHub

So did the changes work?
If not, please show this:

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

It is not on purpose

Yes, the changes worked!! Thanks for the help. I’m just starting out with this, so I’m learning on the go.

Hi there,
This is regarding RadarBox24, I am getting the attached errors and I cannot figure out why.

Any ideas?

You need to use network mode as explained in their README.

Otherwise it tries to use the local dongle, which is already used by dump1090-fa.

Network mode means it will get the data from the dump1090-fa that’s already running.

11

Open file rbfeeder.ini

sudo nano /etc/rbfeeder.ini

Check that network_mode is set to true, as shown below in bold

12

And check that those network settings are like the above.

Thanks guys. But I am now getting this error.

Code:

Try following. What you get?

sudo systemctl stop rbfeeder
sudo rbfeeder

For your reference, I get this:

I was able to fix the issue with reinstalling RBFEEDER.

Thank you all for your help!
