Good Day,
first post, setting up my RadarBox ADS-B Flight Stick. Im using RaspberryPi 4. Fresh install with Debian Bullseye.
What am I missing??, rbfeeder doesn't want to install.
TIA
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo rbfeeder --showkey --no-start
sudo: rbfeeder: command not found
There is no Bullseye package yet but see this thread for a workround https://forum.radarbox24.com/index.php?topic=105631.0

I followed the steps without success.
It ends with this :Don't know how to install for a distribution named
regards,
C

You made a mistake while editing the install file.
Instead of typing new line like this:
VERS=buster
(VERS with Capital letters)
You typed like this:
vers=buster
(vers with small letters)
Please correct this typing mistake and re-run the script.
Ah, so I did. Im up and running now. Thanks for all the help.

Did you enable mlat by two step method:
STEP-1
Set your latitude, longitude and elevation (above sea level)
STEP-2
Install mlat-client for 32-bit Bullseye
https://github.com/abcd567a/mlat-client-package#readme
Not quite, I saw a previous post of yours and ran that.
## Installed required packages (dependencies and build tools)
sudo apt update -y
sudo apt-get install -y git curl build-essential debhelper python-dev python3-dev
## Downloaded source code
cd /home/pi/
git clone https://github.com/mutability/mlat-client.git
## Built mlat-client's installation package
cd /home/pi/mlat-client
sudo apt-get install -y dh-python
sudo dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc
## Above command took some time to build package. After the package was built, installed it by following command
cd /home/pi/
sudo dpkg -i mlat-client_*.deb
Should I re-install with : https://github.com/abcd567a/mlat-client-package#readme
Look like mlat is running for me.

No need to reinstall.
The package I have uploaded at github is same as you have built from source-code, that is why your mlat is running now.
Installation from https://github.com/abcd567a/mlat-client-package#readme is an alternate and easy method if someone does not want to built the mlat-client from source code.
.
Ok perfect. Thanks.
This is off topic and unsure where to find the info. I can't figure out what the green shaded cones on the map are.
The green shaded area is your area of coverage built up so far and will fill in further over time
Alan
I started to think that was the case after I posted, as I see most of of the area out to 200nm is now filled in, except for a few areas where I assume reception is getting blocked.
Thanks
Hello. I have followed this and came across an error at the end

Hello. I have followed this and came across an error at the end
Can anyone advise what to do?
(1) Have you installed any decoder like dump1090-fa, or deump1090-mutability etc? Your output says "Network mode disabled" which is used only if you have not installed a decoder like dump1090-fa or dump1090-mutability.
(2) Please post here the contents of file /etc/rbfeeder.ini
(remove key before posting in forum)
You can see the contents by following command
sudo nano /etc/rbfeeder.ini
See attached screenshot of my file /etc/rbfeeder.ini
I have installed dump1090-fa, and the following setting matches it. Note I have enabled network mode under [client] by making it "true"
[client]
network_mode=
true[network]
mode=beast
external_port=30005
external_host=127.0.0.1
Hi. Thanks for the reply above. I have piaware SD card latest version installed I haven't got access to my pi at the moment. I can get the picture tomorrow.

No need to post screenshot. You have Piaware SD card which has dump1090-fa pre-installed.
Open file rbfeeder.ini for editing
sudo nano /etc/rbfeeder.ini
In file opened, do following
(1) under [client] change from "network_mode=false" to "network_mode=true"
and
(2) under [network] make it like below:
[network]
mode=beast
external_port=30005
external_host=127.0.0.1
(3) Save file (press Ctrl and O keys together), then close file (press Ctrl andX keys together)
(4) Restart rbfeeder
sudo systemctl restart rbfeeder
(5) Check status of rbfeeder
sudo systemctl status rbfeeder
Please dont forget to feed-back if you succeeded or not.
Looks to be running as it should now.
