Running flightaware/dump1090 on Raspberry Pi but no flights found
Closed this issue · 2 comments
I am running dump1090 on Raspberry Pi 4 (model B with 8 GB RAM) with Ubuntu desktop OS. The program starts correctly but no flights are found. I have used the same antenna, SDR and placement with another Windows PC and with https://github.com/gvanem/Dump1090 installed (it is Windows compatible) so that everything works fine with many flights detected.
I start the flightaware/dump1090 program with this command: ./dump1090 --interactive --net
Few seconds after starting the program I see this:
The problem is that there are a lot of flights around me, but none of them has been detected by dump1090 on the Raspberry Pi.
After program stop, the log after execution is:
Sun Dec 8 11:22:23 2024 EET dump1090-fa unknown starting up.
rtlsdr: using device #0: Generic RTL2832U OEM (RTLSDRBlog, Blog V4, SN 00000001)

[R82XX] PLL not locked!

I don't know what the problem is - is it software problem, driver problem or hardware problem. At first I thought that the power consumption of the antenna and the SDR was too high, so I bought a powered USB 2.0 hub, which I am using now, but nothing has changed. Can anyone help me fix this problem and start receiving flight data with dump1090 on Raspberry Pi with Ubuntu desktop OS?
The rtlsdrblog v4 requires a replacement librtlsdr to work correctly (affects everything, not only dump1090) -- see https://www.rtl-sdr.com/V4/

Thank you - this solved my issue.
