"Not connected to UAT Receiver" error

FlightAware
1

Using a PI Zero 2W, a Blue stick and an orange stick to run both 1090 and 978 on the same unit.

It’s looking for the UAT but doesn’t seem to connect to it.

Blue is serial 0001000
Orange Serial is 00000000
flightaware website gives me the option of going to a 1090 map or a 978 map

What do I need to do to get both sticks communicating to two sticks on a single unit.

I am running with a hat that has 3 USB A connections, a USB C and a ethernet port.

BTW you say blue is serial 0001000 however they are usually 8 digits so double check that it is what you said.

Below is how to set piaware to use specific device serials for each type

# setup 1090
sudo piaware-config rtlsdr-device-index 0001000

# setup UAT 978
sudo piaware-config uat-receiver-type sdr
sudo piaware-config uat-sdr-gain max
sudo piaware-config uat-sdr-device driver=rtlsdr,serial=00000000

# restart 
sudo reboot

Thanks so much for this!

Yes I had 8 characters in both serials, but have since figured out what I was doing wro g in reserializing the dongles. I now have them as 00001090 and 00000978.

can I just add the lines manually into the piaware config as

#setup 1090
rtlsdr-device-index 00001090

#setup 978
uat-receiver-type sdr
uat-sdr-gain max
uat-sdr-device driver=rtlsdr,serial=00000978

Thanks in adavnce!

yes you can just add the lines to the config manually using nano or something like that. The other command just does it for you.
