ModeSDeco2 and ModeSMixer2 - console programs for RTLSDR and transcoding

[sergsero]

Hello,

New test version of ModeSMixer2 20150220.

+ fixed some bugs

+ added interpretation of airport codes on route. To see, place cursor in rotation on the ICAO airport codes

+ added second table on Google map that displays list of aircraft. To ON/OFF, you need to press on button in right side of header

+ added decoding and displays IC (Interrogator code): II (Interrogator identifier) and SI (Surveillance identifier)


Thanks,
sergsero

I have now tried the latest version with Raspberry Pi Plus and I agree.

I can't get the --db or  --silhouettes options to work.

** --db option does work once I have a good BaseStation.sqb file!
** --silhouettes option works once I get the path correct!

All the other bits of the web interface seem to be working.

So the question is - what silhouette files are you using? I copied IanK's files into the required folder - see link on right of web page.

Hello to all,
Me too i have problem feeding data to BaseStation from a USB RTL dongle via ModeSDeco2 (.bat file    @echo off
cmd /c modesdeco2.exe --gain 49.6 --sbs10001 10001
PAUSE
exit)
See the attachment snapshot , pressed debug button at BaseStation menu.

I have the *.zip of silhouettes (*.bmp files) from Iank's site in a dir named /silos.  I've double checked the paths.

./modesdeco2_2015_02_20 --gain 49.6 --freq-correction 53 --silhouettes ~/modesdeco/silos --web 8080 --localtime


I've tried both ~/modesdeco/silos    and /home/pi/modesdeco/silos paths.

Make sure the *.BMP files are in /home/pi/modesdeco/silos path.

Do an "ls" in that path since unzipping IanK's file creates another directory!  I had to move the BMP files.

Can confirm that all the *.BMP files are in fact in the /home/pi/modesdeco2/silos dir path.

Hello APO1972,

Can you confirm that you use the last version 1.2.4.184 of Basestation.exe?

Thanks,
sergsero

[APO1972]

Ahhh...nope...i'm still using v161...because my device is old SBS-1 MKI(5v) with an SBS1-EM(Ethernet module) Firmware 306 and the last version of BaseStation can run well MapModeS Server(MMS Server)-- if you know(sharing datas from different SBS Kinetic devices)-- was 161.
When to the past test 184 didn't worked the ability of MMS.
Nevermind i'll try 184 in an another folder and tell you.
Thanks

[APO1972]

OK that was the problem...today i run it on v184 and worked perfectly!!!
Thanks a lot

Hi Apo.

MMS (SBS1 Client) should work OK with BaseStation 184.

[APO1972]

Hi Anmer!
How are you?
I run the mmccepbep of Boris...http://mode-s.66ghz.com/ , not the MMS Client ,modified as you know the Basestation.ini such as below:
[DataInterface]
DataSourceType=1
SocketIntfIPAddress=192.168.1.170
SocketIntfPort=10001
IsConfigured=1
MapModeSSetToUse=1  <-------------------then must appear on menu bar the MapModeS tab
MapModeSIntfIPAddress=192.168.1.2
MapModeSIntfPort=20070

But unfortunately in v184 do nothing...it's not working at all

[Anmer]

Sorry, I thought it was SBS1 Client, my mistake.

I am fine.  How are you?

[APO1972]

I'm fine!
Recently i bought 2 dongles and begun tests...i want to find out their capabilities(sensitivity,size of data can recieve per day,maximum range) in comparison with my older SBS-1 MKI...
I purchased some antenna adaptors for the time being and waiting for them , you know from ...mcx to UHF female , BNC Female , because i   must do the tests with the same antenna...and antenna position of course...
That's all

Hi sergsero,

I've run the latest 'test' version for 24 hours with no problems on a Win 8.1 64 bit machine.
I was pulling in about 40-50 contacts most of the day, obviously fewer at night, and all worked well throughout.

I was set up to feed Basestation as well as having the web interface enabled with silhouettes, pictures and sqb paths defined.

I like the web interface you have created, it's very well done.

Thanks for the effort you've put in to developing the software.

[APO1972]

I'm very happy! after my tests with modesdeco2 v20150220 feeding data from USB Donlge to Basestation.
Is very stable and in <<real time>> , i mean the targets are in same position on the same time as with the SBS-1 device feeding Basestation.
Also non-ADSB aircrafts shows on the Basestation aircraft list.
My .bat file is the below :
@echo off
cmd /c modesdeco2.exe --device-index 0 --gain 49.6 --freq-correction 64 --rbs --sbs10001 10001 --location 40.64:22.93
PAUSE
exit
Have you got any better than this?
