This is saying dvb_usb_rtl28xxu is already using the device. (dvb_usb_rtl28xxu), or enable automatic detaching at compile time. In the first case, please either detach or blacklist the kernel module
#Rtl1090 planeplotter driver
Kernel driver is active, or device is claimed by second instance of librtlsdr. To test, try starting up the rtl_tcp server: sudo rtl_tcp -a your_ipĪnd you might see a message about the device already in use by another kernel module: Found 1 device(s):
To set up correct permissions for your specific card, which you can find by running lsusb, eg for mine: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0ccd:00d7 TerraTec Electronic GmbHįrom this I believe you take the id value and insert it into a new line in les like: SUBSYSTEMS="usb", ATTRS="00d7", MODE:="0666"Īnd then restart udev: sudo service udev restart Then you should be able to add a line to /etc/udev/rules.d/les If you get permissions errors like this when using any of the rtl_* commands: Using device 0: Terratec T Stick PLUS Get the source: git clone git:///rtl-sdr.git

Pre-req steps, if you don’t already have the following: sudo apt-get install cmake Right, think I'll order a Raspberry PI now.I’ve gone through these steps a couple of times when I’ve set up a new SD card, and had to go to various places to work out all the steps, so in case this is useful for someone else, here’s the steps (assuming installing on Rasbian): Making and installing rtl-sdr from source
#Rtl1090 planeplotter trial
So I'd call this first trial a major success.
I may get more if I go outside, and of course, when I get round to making myself a proper antenna. I'm in a fairly busy part of the country, aeroplane wise, but I'm picking them up from up at F元70 even. I was just about to go outside with my laptop when aeroplanes started coming up! All this on the small antenna, just while I sit in my sofa in the middle of the living room.

Having followed the driver and software installation instructions, I plugged in the USB dongle, and just to see if it worked, plugged in the small (TV) antenna which came with it. I ordered a "selection" of dongles from e-bay and the first of them arrived today. These three aircraft were transmitting their positions, but as mentioned 'positionless' traffic can show up when triangulated by enough receivers - Generally this is traffic at higher levels, but occasionally GA will show, and I have noticed that a greater number of light aircraft are providing extended squitter information already and therefore show up on the chart. Further to the SE is a 737 at FL094 heading for a right base at Manchester and to the NE an A319 at FL069 Here we have an Airbus A330 on the Manchester 23R ILS at about 8nm at 2900ft with a Squawk of 3452 and a speed of 156kts. Now, here's a shot of the chart - this is showing the Manchester CTR area (any jpeg image can be used): The black coloured aircraft is providing position info via its extended squitter as well as track information and airspeed. Every GA aircraft with Mode S transponder (no extended squitter) shows up like this. The ones in green are not providing position info via the extended squitter, but we have the Hex Code, Registration, Callsign, Altitude, Type, Route, Squawk. Here's just three aircraft out of hundreds listed. Now, moving to Planeplotter, which this aerial can feed along with many others worldwide, here's the 'Aircraft List View' which shows similar data to the above : Vertical Speed, Ground Speed, Track and SSR Squawk. Much more info shown here including the Mode S Hex Code, The Callsign, Flight Level, Mode Control Panel selected Flight Level, Here's the RTL1090 application running in Mode S mode: Here's a few screen shots which may help :įirstly the RTL1090 application showing Mode A/C returns - even with my aerial inside it seems to pick up hundreds:Īs can be seen, some aircraft seem to Flight Level information included.
