is there any possibility to get notified when the install/upgrade script should be re-run because of an (important) update of readsdb/tar1090? unfortunately you do not provide github releases :(

In a couple of your script I have noticed you use the mictronics version of readsb instead of your own. Wouldn’t it be more useful to change that?

How do I fix this?

Thanks for making this available.

Can supply more info is needed.

dpkg-buildpackage: unknown option or argument -ui

as far as i know "-10" activate the AGC of RTLchip which isnt true AGC. is that right?

i want disable the "-10" setting, i tried it by removing "-10" from /etc/default/autogain1090 (using readsb not dump1090-fa).
( stock ga=(.... 48.0 49.6 -10) changed to> ga=(....48.0 49.6)
but autogain1090 set "-10" anyway. isnt it the right way or is it not possible to disable it ?
of course i restart the service and/or reboot the system.

hi i have a problem with install readsb-install.sh
i have a error
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Fehler: Nicht erfüllte Bauabhängigkeiten: librtlsdr-dev

Hi, wanted to give you a heads-up that I've got some changes planned to how dump1090-fa's config file works in 6.0, which are likely to break your scripts that do sed-driven replacements on that file.

The current changes are on the dev branch: https://github.com/flightaware/dump1090/blob/dev/debian/dump1090-fa.default

The tl;dr is that rather than having the config directly include a long list of command-line options, instead the config has separate vars for different features and the start-dump1090-fa script assembles those into options.

If there's anything unworkable in the new format (or if there are settings you want to see in there that aren't directly supported), let me know and I'll see what I can do?

Hi,
The drivers for V.4 DVB-Ts are out @ https://github.com/rtlsdrblog/rtl-sdr-blog and are downward compatible to V.3 receivers, so you might consider switching.
Thanks and best regards,
Michael

Ran following installation script on Ubuntu 24.04 (noble) amd64
sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-scripts/raw/master/readsb-install.sh)"

The above script failed to install readsb with following error message:

Hi, can you add a description to the repository? How about this one:

Solutions to common problems using dump1090 variants and ADS-B feeders.

Thanks!

Hello, great project, thanks! I am trying to use dual receivers for a 1090 and 978 setup, using the nooelec V5 sdr. When i tried to install the dump978-fa from the https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-wiki/wiki/Dual-1090-978-setup page using the below command, i get the error listed below the code. Is there something I need to change to make this work? Do I need to change anything based on my SDR also, or does that part not really matter?

Code enterred:
dpkg --print-architecture | grep -qs -e armhf && URL="https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/files/packages/pool/piaware/f/flightaware-apt-repository/flightaware-apt-repository_1.1_all.deb"
wget -O /tmp/piaware-repo.deb "$URL"
sudo dpkg -i piaware-repo.deb
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y dump978-fa soapysdr-module-rtlsdr
sudo sed -i -e 's/RECEIVER_OPTIONS.*/RECEIVER_OPTIONS="--sdr-gain 43.9 --sdr driver=rtlsdr,serial=978 --format CS8"/' /etc/default/dump978-fa
sudo systemctl restart dump978-fa

After fresh install of my ADS-B feeder, I was wondering why it had an older version shown on the web-interface than my other one installed several years ago.

Workaround:

• Download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiedehopf/adsb-scripts/master/fr24-nopackage.sh manually
• Exchanged line 24
  • - wget -O fr24.deb https://repo-feed.flightradar24.com/rpi_binaries/fr24feed_1.0.34-0_armhf.deb
  • + wget -O fr24.deb https://repo-feed.flightradar24.com/rpi_binaries/fr24feed_1.0.46-2_armhf.deb
• Executing

And everything worked like a charm on my raspberry pis.

Building it fails on Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye). Any idea why?

If I understand the construct correctly, the gain value is then entered in /etc/default/dump1090-mutability.
The corresponding lines should be here:

sed -i -E -e "s/--gain .?[0-9].?[0-9] /--gain $gain /" /etc/default/dump1090-mutability
.
.

The problem now is, that it does not work with dump1090-mutability, that there is not the entry
RECEIVER_OPTIONS="--device-index 0 --gain 49.6 --ppm 0",
but
GAIN="30".

/etc/default/dump1090-mutability at the moment similar to dump1090-fa

.
.
GAIN="max"
.
.

What do I need to do to enter the gain value in GAIN=?
Thank you for every hint!

Best regards, Carsten

As I can’t create an issue on readsb repo:

I created a Docker image with readsb using GitHub actions. The makefile is using march=native. This lead to a non working binary on my nehalem xeons. Currently I solve it by:
‘’’
sed -i “s/march=native/mtune=nehalem/g Makefile”
‘’’

My suggestion is to move from march to mtune (which would allow it to run everywhere (x86) instead of just that cpu generation)

Hi,

I used the install.sh script for the Bundle install for dump1090fa. So far so good.

However, when I try to access the three different web interfaces, only /dump1090-fa is accessible. Both /dump1090 and /tar1090 return a 403 Error in the browser.
My guess is it's a permission error but I cannot find anything in the lighthttp log files.

Does anyone here have any pointers as to where to adjust permissions or find out more?

I’ve tried to change the ‘RECEIVER = rtlsdr’ to ‘RECEIVER = hackrf’ in the dump1090 config file, but it still not work. I don’t know if the version from the automated install is not supported to hackrf? Or is there any way to solve this problem?
Thanks!

I tried to install "readsb-install.sh" and got this error message as those long params don't exist in Debian Jessie (Raspbian).

dpkg-buildpackage: unknown option or argument --build-profiles=rtlsdr
dpkg-buildpackage: unknown option or argument --no-sign

Solution is to use the short form:
if ! dpkg-buildpackage -b -Prtlsdr -uc

I realise this may not be in the correct section as it relates to the Wiki page.
https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-wiki/wiki/Raspbian-Lite:-ADS-B-receiver

I received an e-mail from Flightradar that the current version that I was running was soon to be phased out.

"We have noticed that you are using an older version of Flightradar24 data sharing software (1.0.29-8) that we are phasing out. We would therefore like you to upgrade to the latest version (1.0.34-0) before Feb 28, 2023."

I went to the wiki page which I used to install it originally using the command sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-scripts/raw/master/fr24-nopackage.sh)"

It did update my setup however, only to Software Version 1.0.30-3

Would it be possible to update your script to allow it to upgrade to the latest version 1.0.34-0?

Alright, so I have dump1090-mutability installed, sending data to FR24feed and flightaware. Just found your script for the gain through the flightaware forums. Installed it, and I'm now running the 1-hour long For-loop to get an initial gain setting. It's giving the error: "stats.json not found, is the decoder running?"

Watching my adsb map at the same time, I'm pretty sure it's still changing the gain, but the command "sudo journalctl -eu autogain1090" shows that nothing is being written to the logs.

Will this work at all for a standard dump1090-mutability installation? I'm considering just reinstalling dump1090 with your scripts, but if I can keep what I have already and use the gain script that would be ideal!

Hello,
I got 2 errors , when I run the install script in openwebRX plus Raspberry Pi 4B IMG.

sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-scripts/raw/master/readsb-install.sh)" sudo reboot

I also find a similar situation issue here : #4

Thank you .!

Today I received an email from FR24 that my feeder is not up to date (version 1.0.29-8) and that I have to update to the latest version (1.0.34-0) before Feb 28, 2023. I have been following your instruction to update in section 10 here https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-wiki/wiki/Raspbian-Lite:-ADS-B-receiver but it seems I am still on an older version (fr24feed output is showing version 1.0.30-3/generic).

The instruction in the email from FR24 is to run the following commands - one at a time:

sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/fr24/fr24feed_updater.sh
sudo /usr/lib/fr24/fr24feed_updater.sh

But the folder fr24 does not exist in lib. Can you help please?

Thank you!

Execution of readsb-install.sh failed on Raspberry Pi 2B.
The problematic statement is
THREADS=$(( $(grep -c ^processor /proc/cpuinfo) - 1 ))
This evaluates to THREADS=0 if only 1 CPU is present and causes the next make statement to fail because -j 0 is not a valid option.
I fixed this manually to THREADS=1 and now I'm using readsb + adsexchange + fr24 on my old Raspberry Pi 2 (Recycle!).
Anyway, thank you for this great piece of software!

In the evening I had to reboot my pi and saw very bad signals. Next day, I saw this graph. AGO is working superb on 2:45 !!!

Hi,

if I try to update my FR24 feeder with the fr24-nopackage script terminates withe a permission denied error (see error log below). Is this a server error or problem with the script?

What is needed to support for arm64 architecture?

Hello, and sorry for posting this in the issues section, as it's not an error but a question.

It is about: https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-scripts/wiki/Automatic-gain-optimization-for-readsb-and-dump1090-fa
Thanks for publishing it, works great.
My only question is: running your script on a PiAware installation, should I disable the Piaware built-in autogain setting?

RECEIVER_GAIN=43.9
ADAPTIVE_DYNAMIC_RANGE=yes
ADAPTIVE_DYNAMIC_RANGE_TARGET=
ADAPTIVE_BURST=no
ADAPTIVE_MIN_GAIN=
ADAPTIVE_MAX_GAIN=

from the file: /etc/default/dump1090-fa
Wondering if this should be changed somehow.

Thanks for the scripts!
I've just installed fr24feed.service config file from GitHub, restarted both:

• systemctl daemon
• fr24feed service

and noticed that fr24feed still keeps logging to /var/log/fr24feed/fr24feed.log on my Raspberry Pi 3.
Actually, the fr24feed.service config enabled both log destinations:

• occasional (every 10 minutes?) syslog logs with proper fr24feed SyslogIdentifier
• frequent (as usual) logs to /var/log/fr24feed/fr24feed.log file.

When I stopped fr24feed service a minute ago, the /var/log/fr24feed/fr24feed.log file reflected this:

[main][i]Terminating on user request
[main][i]Terminating worker threads

How can I troubleshoot this issue further? I would like to turn OFF the /var/log/fr24feed/fr24feed.log to protect SD card.

Regards,
-DarS

Hi there,

just setting up a new RPi with your very cool scripts but after installing autogain1090 I get an awk syntax error (the "basic" stuff works as expected as far as I can tell):

pi@flight:~ $ sudo autogain1090
awk: line 1: syntax error at or near }
awk: line 1: syntax error at or near }
No gain change needed, percentage of messages >-3dB is in nominal range. (0,968%)

Any idea?
