Actually, Use the ppm correction for your dongle after the "-p" - it's shownĪs "-8" in this example. For the SDRplay (which according to the help)ĭoesn't support -p or -r but does need the -s).

Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux and "open PPS: It seems they have changed their mind yet again, so you might get aĭifferent devices. If you want to compile for a different device it is necessary to first do SDRplay, as well as the original RTL dongle: make -f Makefile.air # creates a program called acarsdec.air make -f Makefile.sdrplay # creates a program called acarsdec.sdrplay make -f Makefile.rtl # creates a program called acarsdec.rtl "sudo ldconfig" during rtl installation mentioned above.ĭick notes: You can now make versions for the Airspy, the

You may then need to update your installation with the commands below, and run
If you get an error like "No such file or directory" referring to a Now change to that directory, run "make" to compile the program, and see what libraries So if you run the “git clone” command after the “cd acars” above, you will get a directory acarsdec in the acars directory which now contains the source of the project. Will be created at the point where you issue the “git clone” command. Now copy/clone the project with this command: git clone īecause the source is cloned to your RPI, a new directory named “acarsdec”
To rename the old version to one with (preferably) a version number use aĬommand like this: mv acarsdec/ acarsdec-3.4 If you have an older version of acarsdec installed in a directory called “acarsdec” then you first have to remove or (preferably) rename that directory.
There may be a later version available so it might be worth to check this Make a directory for the ACARS stuff, and change to that directory: cd ~ Instructions for downloading is required.

This is because a DVB driver was added to the OS so that, er, TV could be received! This interferes with the operation of the DVB-T stick for ADS-B reception, so you need to take the steps outlinedĢ - Downloading and compiling the multi-channel ACARS decoder (dvb_usb_rtl28xxu), or enable automatic detaching at compile time. In the first case, please either detach or blacklist the kernel module Kernel driver is active, or device is claimed by second instance of librtlsdr. On versions of Raspian Linux later than 3.6.11, you may get an error message at this point: Run the rtl_test: rtl_test But I get an error? Now we need to either reboot, or power-down, and plug in the dongle, and Sudo ldconfig # Francis Breame reports that this is required Using copy and paste should therefore work correctly,Īt the expense of some readability.) sudo apt-get update The HTML non-break-space character sometimes gets inserted, so the following areĪll single-spaced.
