RPi + SBS-3

Thanks for that suggestion. I haven't had the time to try it just yet, but I will be doing so tonight.
I'll let you know if and how it works.

Are you running Basestation software that might be accessing the receiver? If yes then what Oblivian suggested but use the IP of the computer on which Basestation is running.

Dump1090 OS only called for certain extent receiver types.

Can you try and adjust the port num to 30006 for me and test... That is meant to be the unencrypted SBS output

Hi,

Since yesterday, I'm trying to run a new Raspberry Pi (model 3) together with an SBS-3 station over Ethernet. The station seems to be connecting OK, but no aircraft seem to be received by the station when I connect to localhost:8754.
Also, when I monitor the currently active processes, dump1090 does not seem to be running. I reckon dump1090 should be running, or am I wrong here?
When I run the fr24feed command "sudo fr24feed start", after a while, I get a loop of these messages:

This makes me think that the RPi connects from time to time, and then the connection drops. Is this presumption correct? If so, is there anything I can do about it?

Mainly, my two problems are the connection seemingly dropping out, and (I think) dump1090 not running.

Thanks,
Thomas
