Last version that I have for RPi1 is the same as you: 20150825.

Perhaps the RPi1 was not powerful enough to run the extra options so no newer version?

Edit:
Found a slightly more recent version (20160119) on a Russian forum
http://forum.adsbradar.ru/f25/modesmixer2-windows-linux-com-tcp-mixer-transcoder-modes-1451/
The file listing is not in Russian 

Good find, IanH! Thanks for the help, I appreciate it

Hello,

I'll try to compile a version of modesmixer2 for RPi1 this weekend.

I fully agree with IanH, that for use extra options it is desirable have RPi2 or RPi3.

However, the main difficulty is to maintain on the deprecated version of Debian Wheezy 7. Today the current version is Debian Jessie 8 and it would be preferably to switch to it completely.
Because for building and optimizing programs I need a modern version of the gcc compiler and libraries.

Hi sergeso,

Thanks for compiling your latest version for RPi1! I understand that it's a pain to maintain for old hardware and OSes so I appreciate the extra effort you took. This version should last me until I can switch over to a newer model, so I won't be expecting any future updates for this old architecture in the future.

Cheers,

Hello to all,
Today i updated my modesmixer2 to v.20170127 without changing my .bat file.
Then after i observed that the "source id" dissapeared from the aircrafts coming from my local source...to all others whose coming from remote sources appearing well. 


***UPDATE***
I don't know how? , but from yesterday i've left it as it was and today working well!!!

Hi sergsero,

I am trying to run modesdeco2_rpi2-3_20170127.tgz on an rpi 2 and I get "error while loading shared libraries: libyeppp.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I can't find a source for Libyeppp.so - i've tried the yeppp.info site but it seems to be down.

Hi grezz,

I'm sorry, in this archive was erroneously placed the test version in which was used the dynamic library. Now I replaced the file. Please, download the archive again:

Thank you for found an error in the archive.

Hi

What is wrong with my data here?

I often have a number of planes (especially Norwegian I think) that is not displayed with all details, in the ModeSMixer2 (20170218) Flights list. It is "Register" and "Type" that is empty (and then also the silhouette as Type is missing). If I do a lookup in Basestation.sqb it looks like I here have full details on the plane (incl. ID and Type), by searching on the ICAO code. I guess Basestation.sqb is used, but is there also some online lookup involved?

[IanH]

Are you certain that you are telling ModeSmixer2 to use the correct basestation.sqb?

If you have several on your PC, it might be reading from a different one to the version you are looking at!

[larsras]

Yes I am, and I only have one version on my PC. The lookup works in 95% of the flights I have displayed. In this moment I see 29 ADSB and 12 ModeS. I have 6 planes right now where the Register and Type is missing, and 4 of them ar Norwegian(NAX)/Nortrans(IBK), and two KLM. I have tried to do a lookup in the basestation.sqb for the NAX/IBK and all 4 can be found with all information displayed.

[Anmer]

Do you run Basestation too?

What's the folder path for your sqb file?

[larsras]

Actually I can see my signature was outdated. For a long time I have only been using ModeSMixer2.

c:\Apps\BaseStation.sqb

and command line in startup includes:

--db c:\Apps\BaseStation.sqb

Suggestion: make a copy of your database into another folder, install and configure VRS to use it and see if the same behaviour occurs. This probably will point if the problem is the database or mm2.

This is a good idea.

Can you also post a screen capture of any of the "missing data" records as viewed in the sqb?  What are you using to view these records?

[larsras]

YEs, great test. SO did a copy of current SQB into my VRS directory, and changed the VRS config to point to this.
