It looks like there isn’t a dump1090 or any decoder working. What is the output of a ps ax |grep dump1090? Are you running the FlightAware image or are you building your own?

DOES THAT MEAN ANYTHING TO ANYBODY?

I’m imaging a new sd card and plugging it into my spare Pi 2 and I’ll see what I can do to help with your configs.

pi@piaware ~ $ ps ax |grep dump1090
2491 ? S 2:00 /usr/bin/dump1090 --quiet --net --gain -10 --net-fatsv-port 0

That looks like the right configuration for dump1090. Still PiAware doesn’t see it. What happens if you run dump1090 from the command line?

i’m very new with the rasp pi…can u explain to me howto do that.

11

Just type ‘dump1090’ at the command prompt like you typed ‘ps ax’. It will probably give an error message, but it may also start listing out data.

12

that worked…i received a bunch of data…then this line appeared

cb transfer status :1, canceling

now, not receiving data at all

Okay, do you have the dongle plugged directly into the Pi, or are you using a powered hub? A quick google search shows that error can be caused by a problem with the USB connection. What is the power rating on the power supply (is it a 2A power supply?)

14

This is a USB / dongle / power problem. Check your connections, consider using a powered USB hub for the dongle or a beefier power supply.

15

Ok I will look into that…I’m using a 2.1a 5v USB for the pi and the dongle is plugged into the pi.

purchased a powered usb hub today,…what a difference for sure…that solved it.
