  • RaspberryPi failing to feed

    Hello! I decided to put my Raspberry pi to a good use, but I run into problems. The feeding software outputs "No supported RTLSDR devices found" after installation, and after rebooting it outputs just "Connection terminated".
    If I head over to raspiIP:8754 it states that receiver is dvbt and is connected. Yet I can't track any planes.
    I reinstalled the software many times always with the same result. I can visually see the planes, but my raspberry pi doesn't. My antenna position isn't the best solution, I have it outside of my window, but it should still have at least some coverage.
    I tried to tune into TV on my Windows machine with the tuner and it worked.

    Few lines about HW that I'm using:
    Raspberry Pi 2 model B
    USB DVB-T Evolve Mars ( lsusb shows the device as a "Bus 001 Device 004: ID 187f:0202 Siano Mobile Silicon Nice" )

    Picture one - 4 Windows, First show that receiver is connected, second show's my settings, third is the log from instalation and fourth how "sudo fr24feed start" looks like.

    I'm not sure the image will be downsized, so this a direct link to my reupload (forum won't let me post links) "flightradar24.team-grimmie.eu/Screenshot%202017-02-26%2001.50.54.png"

    Picture two - log file after raspi reboot, it does not show "No supported RTLSDR devices found." anymore, so I guess that is a step forward?.

    Again, reupload "flightradar24.team-grimmie.eu/Screenshot%202017-02-26%2002.13.26.png"

    I would appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance

    I have a suspicion that doesn't have a RTL based chip in it. So won't work with most SDR software including dump1090/fr24

    It won't openly say it any more as the config had been completed. But when dump1090 detects such issues it terminates. As you see there

      Good afternoon, I did some research regarding the chipset, from what I found on ubuntu forums, it uses ITE 9135 chipset. Is there any way to make it work even if it uses wrong chipset?

      If not, I guess my best choice now is to buy other receiver which has RTL chip


      dmesg command outputs:

        Afraid not. The RTL in the app names (rtl1099) and so on refer to realtek. The chipset they are designed for.

        More expensive TV tuners use more precise chips used by TV frequency range specifically
