      Can you compile an ARM version with statically linked libraries (with key -static)?

      Thanks.

      ARM version with statically linked libraries (gcc -static) available in the first post. Please note that you need to execute "export FR24AUTHIP=83.140.247.20" or launch the application specifying the same environmental variable because domain lookup might not work in statically linked executable.

        looks very good for the start.

        It can be started on my debian ARM sheevaplug and also my Raspberry PI:

        $ ./fr24feed_arm-le_222 --fr24key=YOUR_SHARING_KEY
        [i]Downloading configuration...OK
        [i]Parsing configuration...ERROR
        [failure]: Not found, check your key!
        {"result":"failure","info":"Not found, check your key!"}
        Hello,

        after getting the key I do now feed to FR24 with radar EDDK8. Everything seems to work fine. This is my output:
        "

        Is there any way to decrease verbosity? I have started fr24feed_arm-le_222 with nohup so that the output goes to nohup.out.

        Is there any way to test online that my feed works? I would like to generate an alarm if my feed is down for some time. An email would be fine.

        Regards

          Adsbox decoding is fully compatible with FR24. I use adsbox nearly a year. You can write to the author and receive the latest version (I use version from July 28).
          Hello Walt,

          now adsbox runs fine and feed to FR24 also works.

          The only think looks strange to me is that on the "flight board" (adsbbox web page on http://hostname:8080/stat ) there are sometimes lines that looks strange:
          - No callsign (FLIGHT)
          - No LAT and LON
          I have marked them with ">"

          Is this normal? Do you also see these?

          Or should adsbox get the callsign from the ICAO hex value (like 484130). If yes where is such a database for callsigns?

          Regards

          Willi

                Please execute "export FR24AUTHIP=83.140.247.20" before starting the application. Statically linked app might have problems with domain lookups.

                    Hello,
                    Why not make the BS(TCP30003) IP-source address with command line too, like --fr24key=xxxxx: --bs-ip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy?

                      Hello,
                      It seems to be working, but I can't load latitude and longitude.

                        In the previous version of the software (ModeS.exe) we learned that it's better to have all settings on the server, so you need to contact us in order to change that settings. In the future it will be possible for users to change that settings from a login on fr24.

                          Mike, it is posssible to use fr24feed_arm-le_222 binary to feed my data if my receiver provide me an data in hex format on serial port?

                          Example:
                          *8D4CAA0E991512A620042564C4FC;
                          *8D4009D8200815F8DB982020FB85;
                          *8D4009D899458A14404C2390E827;
                          *8DA614479945252CA8042492234F;
                          *8DA6144758AF83A78DD56D745310;
                          *8DA614479945252CA8042492234F;
                          *8DA6144758AF83A7E3D54A079D71;
                          *8D4CAA0E58C387B2116FA5353616;
                          *8DA6144758AF83A81DD53333C87C;
                          *8DA614479945252CA00424FC8147;
                          *8D4CAA0E58C387B1D56F8B1F09E9;


                          I used socat linux utility to create local Basestation at localhost:30003. But it seems it is not working properly. Do I still need some kind of decoder or Planplotter as proper source for feeder?

                          EDIT: It is working fine now. Walt's post help me remove barrier with decoding and creating basestation. Currently it is running on raspberry pi

                            Hello Mike,

                            I am using fr24feed_arm-le_222 and I am feeding to FR24.

                            However it seem that since you have changed to newer versions of the software (225), my feed is no longer accepted.
                            I still see that the software feeds (messages "[i]sent x planes in x packets"), but on FR24 no planes occurs from my radar.

                            Some minutes ago the flight MNB6121 (4BB5CA) was flying over my house and logged via my software (adsbox), but no plane was show on flightradar24.com .
                            Could it be that the FR24 server software no longer accepts data from feed software 222?

                            Is there any way to test a feed other that looking to the fr24feed logs?

                            Is there any new software for ARM with a new version numner?
                            On the web page flightradar24.comn, looking at premium/account settings it shows
                            "Notice: UPDATE AVAILABLE! (v225)"

                            Regards

                              I have same issue. Fr24 feed utility says that approx 7 plane were send in one packet, but nothing were shown on flightradar24 page. I used filter to filter my data but othing was shown too for long time on fr24 map . But in premium section it is showing last updates that are few seconds before...I think that flightradar receive my data correctly but decide to use data form another near radar. I think it depend on some kind of priority of radars near to me ( Wien, Budapest). Maybe network latency or similar things is my problem....Could you please confirm or deny my supposition?

                              PS: Sorry for my english

                                There is a new build (v225) available for download in the first post. Recent changes include over-ridding Basestation stream location --bs-ip=HOSTNAME --bs-port=PORT.

                                Regarding planes not appearing on FR24, were the planes not available at all or were they available under a different ID? Please download the latest version and make sure the Latitude/Longitude printed upon start are correct as the software filters out planes that are too far from these coordinates. Should that show 0/0 please let me know what specific architecture you are using so we can test it.
