Archived - Beta test MLAT software for Raspberry Pi

[mpegger2]

Did you use the settings configuration editor at :8754/settings.html ? I did and it seems to wipe out the last couple of lines of the /etc/fr24feed.ini config file that enable MLAT, try adding:

mlat="yes"
mlat-without-gps="yes"

There seems to be a probelm in the web view...
...when I change settings it always doesn't show my auth key an so it is missing after saving,... also the tracked aircraft list isn't working...

Trying to install this but cant even get the initial install to work. Any ideas? I get the following error when trying to install fr24feed:-

You may try " sudo apt-get remove fr24feed " than install it agn .

I noticed the same when I did some changes in the Webinterface (adding dump1090 arguments).

@lcs:

You have a seperate dump1090 package installed, remove it and the update will run fine.

Tried that - same error

Indeed a " sudo apt-get remove dump1090 " did the trick. Installed and working

Beta test new Flightradar24 MLAT software for Raspberry Pi

Hi

Upgrade to MLAT enabled RPi feeder app. Location 300m south of RWY 03L VTBD. Hope it helps.

Finally you can contribute to MLAT with your setup.

[mrcarlos]

But... When I check service, sudo service fr24feed status, the timestamp is ever about 2h delay someone knows why?

Because it is UTC and not GMT+2

Positions are now live on the map. Just filter for T-MLAT7

I though them will more accurate.

I bought Rpi2 yesterday, only to test this. Tired of feeding the data through my PC. Can't wait it to arrive as we already have good MLAT coverage around here, it can display MLAT AC from around 6k feet. One more receiver should lower that number I hope so!!

A request to the FR24 developers - could you either statically link against librtlsdr, or put your copies of the libraries in a private directory, or depend on the separate package (librtlsdr0) that provides it?
I have changed the FA dump1090 package to statically link, and dump1090-mutability to depend on librtlsdr0, for exactly that reason: putting the libraries in /usr/lib is going to conflict with anything and everything else that wants to use them.
Thanks.
