Hey all, I’ve been running my Pi2 B+ and Pro Stick for a few years, with little issue or having to lay hands on it, until now. I recently began moving it more permanent installation, but had to disassemble the configuration to do so. Upon connecting it back together, I now have a total loss of targets on the Skyview Map.
I noticed that the LED on the Pro Stick is illuminated, but is cycles its intensity high/low at roughly one-level per second. The web page shows the “1090 Radio” in a yellow background, and when I hover over it reads “Connected to Mode S receiver, but no recent data seen”.
I’ve trolled and searched the forums enough to try the following, to include it’s result:
piaware:/tmp$ sudo piaware-status
PiAware master process (piaware) is running with pid 447.
PiAware ADS-B client (faup1090) is running with pid 545.

no program appears to be listening for connections on port 30978.
faup1090 is connected to the ADS-B receiver.
faup978 is NOT connected to the ADS-B UAT receiver.
piaware is connected to FlightAware.

Your feeder ID is cfb120dc-8fbb-4880-9d86-bde9f7xxxxxx (from /var/cache/piaware/ feeder_id)
I then run the rtl_test and get:
pi@piaware:/tmp$ rtl_test

Is there a good “Troubleshooting Guide” on this for beginners, as I’m terribly weak when it comes to Linux commands/use. It took me a couple of hours to load Putty, find the default login for piaware, and to come this far, so I am learning!
Any help appreciated
