If soapysdr by default uses the first dongle then you could also use --device 1 for dump1090-fa.
That way you don’t need to set serial numbers.
But setting serial numbers might be more prudent.
Maybe you can also specify a device in soapysdr i don’t know.
Anyway if you want to look at a map you’ll need to install skyview978 as well, it should have been compiled as well when you compiled dump978.

I would use serials that are not 0 or 1 or any lower number.
They can be confused with device-ids by rtl-sdr i believe.
At the very least you should put the full serial with the leading zeros into the config files.

Where is the Gain setting for the dump978 dongle?
RECEIVER_OPTIONS="--sdr driver=rtlsdr,serial=00003000 --sdr-gain 49 --format CS8"
I have no idea if -10 works, it doesn’t show an error or anything no matter what value you set
Oh i found it in the source code:
--sdr-auto-gain
sets AGC.
Now i feel stupid, it’s in the help text of course as well:
dump978-fa --help
Thanks.
Now I also feel stupid that I asked without first looking to --help
What is this setting? What is key-value?
--sdr-device-settings arg set SDR device key-value settings
No idea
key-value just means that you need to supply a key and a value.
--sdr-device-settings decimation=4
Note that this is an example, no idea what keys you can change, probably doesn’t matter.
Checking the source, it doesn’t do anything at the moment:
soapy_source.cc: if (options_.count("sdr-device-settings")) {
soapy_source.cc: std::cerr << "SoapySDR: --sdr-device-settings option ignored in this build" << std::endl;
Dongle RTL2832UFA is ProStick orange (no filter) for UAT 978
Dongle RTL2838UHIDIR is Radarbox24 FlightStick green (builtin 1090 SAW filter) for ADS-B
Both dongles have serial number 00000001
Changed their serial numbers as follows:
ProStick (orange, no filter) for dump978 assigned 00000011
FlightStick (green, has SAW filter) for dump1090 assigned 00000012

Oliver (@obj) has already advised that FA servers are still not ready for ver 3.7.0. Consequently, when I checked my stats (station 5252) at “My ADS-B” page, the stats are showing a big drop. I don’t mind if my stats are very poor for few days or even few weeks, as this is temporary, and will finally recover.
Since the first install two days ago failed and I could not debug it, yesterday I reimaged the microSD card with Raspbian Str Lite image, then built & installed packages of dump1090-fa, dump978, skyview978 and piaware data feeder (all v 3.7.0).
I also had to serialize the two dongles to prevent failure of dump978-fa due to both dump1090 and dump978 trying to grab same dongle (device 0). Please see my last post above.
After successful completion of install as above, I also installed Graphs by @wiedehopf to monitor the performance locally.
sudo bash -c "$(wget -q -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiedehopf/graphs1090/master/install.sh)"
.
sudo /usr/share/graphs1090/graphs1090.sh 24h
File /var/lib/collectd/rrd/localhost/dump1090-localhost/dump1090_range-max_range.rrd not found! Associated graph will be empty!
.
That’s strange mine is still working with version 3.7.0
Could you provide me with your aircraft.json from that RPi?
http://pi/dump1090-fa/data/aircraft.json
Then i can check if i can find the problem.

Oh it’s simple: Your location is not configured.
Thus range can’t be calculated, should have remembered that.
It is configured in config.js. That is how I get the station marker and rings on maps.
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /usr/share/dump1090-fa/html/config.js
SiteShow = true; // true to show a center marker
SiteLat = 43.xxxx; // position of the marker
SiteLon = -79.xxxx;
SiteName = "My Radar Site"; // tooltip of the marker
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /usr/share/skyview978/html/config.js
SiteShow = true; // true to show a center marker
SiteLat = 43.xxxx; // position of the marker
SiteLon = -79.xxxx;
SiteName = "My Radar Site"; // tooltip of the marker
It needs to be configured in the dump1090-fa config file or via /var/cache/piaware/location.env, otherwise it won’t be in receiver.json where the graphs get the positions from.
I checked, it is already there.
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /var/cache/piaware/location.env
PIAWARE_LAT="43.xxxxx"
PIAWARE_LON="-79.xxxxx"
PIAWARE_DUMP1090_LOCATION_OPTIONS="--lat 43.xxxxx --lon -79.xxxxx"
Yeah but as you noted there is currently a bug so the position from there is not used
Unless you modify /usr/share/dump1090-fa/start-dump1090-fa yourself it’s not going to work right now.
LAT and LON need to be PIAWARE_LAT and PIAWARE_LON
if [ -n "$PIAWARE_LAT" -a -n "$PIAWARE_LON" ]
then
POSITION="--lat $PIAWARE_LAT --lon $PIAWARE_LON"
fi
Thank, now remember you have posted this woraround earlier als.
Will try it when back home.
