Readsb

[turbodogfl]

Not sure if any support is available for readsb. would like to uninstall it. Tried installing readsb on UAT-only piaware to make easier gain adjustments. After installing readsb the UAT only receiver became a 1090 receiver. There was no uninstall script listed. tried to configure readsb for uat, but ended up disabling it so it turned back toi a uat receiver
sudo nano /etc/default/readsb

There was no uninstall script listed.

Where?

Looks like the complete debian package.

sudo apt remove readsb

[turbodogfl]

Thanks, did not know about sudo apt remove readsb

[abcd567]

better use purge, as it will remove all configuration files as well.
For clean up, purge is better than remove.

sudo apt purge readsb  

[foxhunter]

Optionally use this for also removing the dependencies if not used any longer for other things

sudo apt autoremove readsb

–uat-receiver-type sdr

Applying command line options from other programs is usually not the way to go.
readsb doesn’t do 978, it’s pretty similar to dump1090-fa in regards to basic functionality and depending on the fork also has some extra functions.

That config file just has command line options which often can be checked with --help:

readsb --help

Not sure if any support is available for readsb. would like to uninstall it.

Just for the future, it’s important to let people know how you installed something.
I just took a wild guess that you used my script or my how-to.
If you would let me know i could maybe even add a note how to remove it.

@abcd567

sudo apt purge readsb

I followed Automatic installation for readsb · wiedehopf/adsb-scripts Wiki · GitHub to try readsb on a UAT only pi. It started receiving 1090 instead of 978. Trying to change config options to UAT seemed to disable it. A note about uninstalling it would be helpful, also if it works with only 1090. Thank you.

How the max distance received graph is working? I have a plane that is farther than the present position, but with intermittent reception. What’s the min duration of reception, because that plane doesn’t change the contour:

@SoNic67

What’s the min duration of reception, because that plane doesn’t change the contour:

2 even, 2 odd CPR messages or not more than 8% over the previous max distance in that direction.

Actually, i’ve looked into making this a bit better for this purpose, do an update, it’s now 12% and the position reliability doesn’t time out as fast.
You still need to get two positions via global CPR (as opposed to local).

Good evening,

I tried to update my readsb. But for some reasons something is going wrong. Perhaps @wiedehopf has some time to help me.

Your URL is not working. Remove the quote " in front of it

[Dutchyb]

Thank, guess was to impatient

[wiedehopf]

@foxhunter

Your URL is not working.

Where do you see that?

@Dutchyb

I tried to update my readsb. But for some reasons something is going wrong.

Looks like sd-card corruption.

/usr/include/rtl-sdr.h

This file belonging to the package librtlsdr-dev is corrupted.
Start with a new sd-card is suggested.
Otherwise reinstall that package but expect further issues.

@wiedehopf

He had the " in front of it and the link was not clickable.
Fun fact: After i quoted it, it was clickable in my quote

[wiedehopf]

@foxhunter

Ohhhh, i thought you mean the URL on the console was wrong, haha!
When i looked at this post it was already fixed.

I know I am pushing, and I definitely do not want to annoy you, but I have no idea how to reinstall the librtlsdr-dev package. Don’t know what it means or what it does.

[wiedehopf]

@Dutchyb

I have no idea how to reinstall the librtlsdr-dev package.

Didn’t i tell you before you have a broken sd-card?

Anyhow … here you go:

[Dutchyb]

Yes you did and I used a new card. So it sucks seeing/reading the sd card is broken (again)

Will this be the correct command?

sudo apt install librtlsdr-dev
or this:
apt-get --reinstall install librtlsdr-dev

[foxhunter]

@wiedehopf

i thought you mean the URL on the console was wrong, haha!

With my skills i would not identify any wrong URL in the code provided by Dutchyb.
That’s i leave to the experts here

[wiedehopf]

@Dutchyb

Will this be the correct command?

Just try until the install works …
