ModeSDeco2 and ModeSMixer2 - console programs for RTLSDR and transcoding

[sergsero]

The version for Raspberry Pi 2 was designed only to work with the RTL2832 dongles.

If you have the AirSpy receiver that please use versions for Windows/Linux x86/OS X.
For ARM processors, there is hope that will be able to provide work at lower (6 or 4 MSpS) bitrates. However now, even on this Samsung Exynos 5 Octa processor the CPU utilization ~ 110%.

My tests so far say that stable operations of airspy receiver with 10 MSpS samplerate starts since mobile versions of i3 processors as Intel® Core™ i3-3217U (3M Cache, 1.80 GHz).

Thanks,

Hi

Wonder whether there can be added a switch to enable plane type lookup and dump to the DB file, as it is already possible to get the information on the map when a plane is selected?

Two feature requests for consideration.

• Log file output for modesdeco2 like modesmixer2
• Directory output of the json files from the status screen for reading into somthing like rrd (I'd like to make pretty graphs that integrate into my RPi Monitor setup.

Thanks!

You need to do a bit of work yourself but you can follow IanH's helpful instructions here:

i dont have an pi now.
everythink on linux is ssooo difficult...

[GregoryGHarding]

any reason why im not getting any Mode A/C packets running ModeSMixer2 with multiple network receivers?

What are your arguments? Need to know a little more information to help you out. I have it running okay. What platform, how are you calling the program, any logs, things like that.

Okay and what software are you using for the inConnect servers? Since you're connecting to localhost are the decoders all running on the same machine as modesmixer?

im receiving Mode-S and ADS-B perfectly fine, i know my setup works, im wondering why i do not receive any Mode A/C packets.

the bat shown is the masterserver, there are other instances of MSM2 running for each localhost input, which then are connected to remote hosts

The option you need in ModeSDeco2 is --rbs

Assuming you are using ModeSDeco2 of course

Nice app!  I was looking for a way to see the TCAS,AP,VNAV,AHOLD, etc..  Perfect!  Is there an output format that supports those?  Is there a way to output decoded information to a port?
