ModeSDeco2 and ModeSMixer2 - console programs for RTLSDR and transcoding

[Rockwell]

It's working just perfect and it's nice looking too.
Strange enough not all values are metric.

Maybe a PI2 version ?

Also I would like to have to possibility to load my own maps and some logging.

Hi

seems to be working fine except I cannot get the silhouette's or aircraft type to display in either the flights or the new map info

Hello,

Collection of silhouettes should be placed in any directory on your computer.
The option to use silhouettes is:

Code Select Expand

--silhouettes <full\path\to>
For example, your collection is located in the following directory C:\temp\mysilhouettes. Then the option will look like this:

Code Select Expand

--silhouettes C:\temp\mysilhouettes
Please note that at the end of path there is no slash.


If your database contains information about the type of this aircraft, it should be displayed in tables.
And vice versa - if your database do not knows the type of this aircraft, it is unknown what kind of silhouette needs to be used for display.

Regards,
sergsero

Same problem here, but i guess it is because the type is blank. As i have understood that requires the flightroute db to be present?

[sergsero]

The file flightroute.db is a database of routes. With the type of aircraft it does not correlate. On the contrary, an information about the type of aircraft stores in the file basestation.db.

for modesmixer, is the website running off a separate directory or is it built into the exe? id like to be able to edit the website myself, is this possible? can the exe be made to run the website from a folder?

[sergsero]

In #312 added test version of ModeSDeco2 for Raspberry Pi 2 and OS X.

hi

Silhouettes and type working now

I didn't realise that I needed the basestation database to display to silhouettes and the type

thanks

Paul

[larsras]

Not sure i completely understand the concept of the basestation.sqb file.
Shall both modesdeco2 and modesmixer2 reference this file?
I guess something external shall update the file with the type information. Tried with Active Display Light, but this just crashes 9/10 times i launch the program. Any other programs for this updating?

[G0HEU]

Hi

is there any form of logging of the aircraft built within the switches

I use Planeplotter for Logging.

Dear friends, I did used Modesdeco2 ar71xx like server and modesmixer2 ar71xx like client over a week (5 days and 8h) then modesdeco2 crashed and restarted (all the stats was disapear), there is no updates to modesdeco2 ar71xx?

Thanks & cheers.

[GregoryGHarding]

do you have a github page with your different software and versions? i think its a good idea. it would help people like me trying to GIT remotely on a pi

[dschaper]

Would it be possible to get a RasPi 1 version to test out?

Thanks

I tried the RPi2 version (modesdeco2_rpi2_20150525_test) on a Banana Pi. I know that it was compiled for 4 ARM cores instead of 2, but I figured it would probably work, and it does okish.
I tried the official Airspy firmware 10/2.5MSPS and my screen was flooded with "ERROR    Lost data" (about 50 drops a second) any chance of a option to manually select a lower sample rates.  This option would also be useful for the RPi2 as it's USB bus is shared and not exclusive like the BPi.

Even though the BPi has enough USB bandwidth to transfer data at the maximum rate, it may fall short in CPU processing power for realtime analysis at the maximum sample rate. The fact that I was using a 4 core version instead of a 2 core version probably did not help much either, but I was curious if it would work at all and it does

Any chance of a Airspy BPi version with the ability to select lower sample rates (that are available from the firmware) ?
