ModeSDeco2 and ModeSMixer2 - console programs for RTLSDR and transcoding

[nurmiin]

./modesdeco 2 --gain 48.0 --rbs --location 49.572:7.601 --web 8000 --metric --db BaseStaion.sqb --silhouettes /modesdeco/Outlines

Folder Silouettes with silouettes files is in folder modesdeco.

Hi,

You can try bare name of the folder like this:
--silhouettes Outlines

Best Regards

Hi Rockwell,

Folder Silouettes with silouettes files is in folder modesdeco

If this is true, then why are you in the line to run program, use --silhouettes /modesdeco/Outlines?
And if the directory is not in a root, but in your user directory, default /home/pi, I can say that missing the "~":  --silhouettes ~/modesdeco/Silhouettes.
Or specify the full path to the folder: --silhouettes /home/pi/modesdeco/Silhouettes.

Hi sergsero,

Thanks much, now it is working.

Seeing an issue with the latest modesdeco2 (20150603) and modesmixer2 (20150612) for Windows. When loading the web map in my browser (Safari 8.0.6, OS X 10.10.3 and Google Chrome 43.0.2357.124, Win 7 Ultimate 32-bit), all aircraft are being plotted in the top-left corner and the Google map does not load. See attachment for a screenshot. I'm seeing this on three separate computers. This is a sporadic issue: sometimes it loads properly and sometimes it doesn't.

Same is happening when I open browser on my pi2.  Charts, Stats, Flights and Log just working fine but map same problem as Sonicgoose.

Hello Sergsero
Would it be possible in ModeSDeco2 to filter aircraft above/below a certain flight level or altitude.

thanks

Sorry for this dumb question, but what is meant by the letters "A" and "S" precisely?

Hi sonicgoose,

You need to do bypass your cache in browser.

To speed things up and conserve communications bandwidth, browsers attempt to keep local copies of pages, images, and other content you've visited, so that it need not be downloaded again later. Occasionally this caching scheme goes awry (e.g. the browser insists on showing out-of-date content) making it necessary to bypass the cache, thus forcing your browser to re-download a web page's complete, up-to-date content.

Bypassing your cache means forcing your web browser to re-download a web page from scratch, which can often solve website display glitches. It is also required after installing user scripts. Bypassing your cache is simple, safe, and causes no permanent changes.


When you are on the page "Map":
In most Windows and Linux browsers: Hold down Ctrl and press F5.
In Apple Safari: Hold down ⇧ Shift and click the Reload toolbar button.

Hi spotter.ssol,

These letters signify the type of transponder, which is used on this aircraft.
For uniformity of characters with VRS, where they also used, the letter means ADS-B (selection criteria is coordinates and DF17 messages)
and the letter corresponds to Mode S.

I have tried bypassing the cache, and have even gone so far as to empty the cache completely, but I'm still experiencing the issue. This is an issue that did not appear in previous versions of both modesdeco2 and modesmixer2.

If you see on the page Map that all aircraft are being plotted in the top-left corner and the Google map does not load, then you need to do bypass your cache in browser.

Good Job Sergsero!

Thank you so much for the improvements on modesmixer.

Hi sonicgoose,

In #366 message of the thread is corrected version 20150616.

+ fixed bug in CPR decoder's filter
+ used the release version v=3.20 of Google Maps API

I hope that the changes will solve the  problem:

all aircraft are being plotted in the top-left corner and the Google map does not load

Unfortunately it's possible that  you'll have to clear your browser's cache (via menu Control-Shift-Del), which was previously used with version 20150612.

I will be grateful to you for testing and feedback.

Regards,
sergsero

sergsero,

I have a problem with these new versions of modesmixer2 on my RPI2.

Using version 20150323 I used to be able to share the output from my Beast with flightaware and other sites with this call:

/home/pi/mm2/modesmixer2 --inSerial /dev/ttyUSB0:3000000:hardware --web 8081 --outServer beast:30005 --outServer sbs10001:10002 --outServer sbs30006:30003 --outServer fatsv:10001 --log-noconsole

With the new versions and the exact same call, I can see modesmixer2 working fine when I browse its web server page (I love the improvements there by the way!) but data is not being received by piaware. The log shows connections to ports 30005 and 10001 but piaware does not receive anything. I have had to revert to version 20150323 which works as it always did.

Regards
grezz
