Virtual Radar South West

One other thought occurs - which port are you picking the output from dump1090 on? Im using 30005. I think some of the others will work but dont necessarily pass all the info to VRS.

Rtl1090 is on port 31001 for me. It's the basic startup port for TCP/IP.

Try 30005. You can test if it works by using the test connection button.

Can't check now as I am in Sherborne tonight, got a nurses appointment tomorrow, I only have iPhone with me.

No dongle or laptop

I will check it as soon as I get home.

I will try and fly home as fast as I can (tomorrow)

You should always take a dongle along when you meet a Nurse.

I don't think she is ready for that

It the asthma/stop smoking (lecture) nurse, so I will be trying to fly home as soon as I can.

I use 30003. Javascript is on in my browsers. I'll have some time to try VRS tomorrow, deep into Linux compiling today.

Just tried using ports 30003/5

And it's not connecting.

 

[Archive-8]

Ah ha I have gone back to port 31001, after trying to change the ports.

And I now have the range spike option in the menu option.

I'm using 31001 Chris, but that's what my RTL1090 source uses.

Quite busy tonight, not much interesting. Still get only the rings though.

Edit - Just seen your post, 31001 it is.

It's starting to build up.

From this page I changed the port number to 30003 and got a message about it couldn't connect.



I then changed the port number back to 31001, restarted the vrs and loaded it in Mozilla.

And had the option of the receiver range.

Great stuff Chris glad to see some spikes at last, although you appear to have moved to Paris as that spike looks odd to say the least

That's the next thing I need to sort out. Still it seems like it's working all ok.

Odd i needed to "change" the port, and go back, before the option would pop up.

Still chuffed it's working

The planes seem to be avoiding southern Scotland - I havent seen ANYTHING for over an hour!

 

[Archive-8]

Seems I missed a - symbol of the longitude and latitude still looks like I have it in the sea of the coast of Weymouth.

 

[Analoguesat]

Getting closer

Getting closer

Just caught a merlin helicopter, still waiting for a few planes, to build up some more spikes to see where it plots.

 

[Archive-8]

Got it right, this time looked up the gps coordinates.

And not used the iPhone compass.

Now plotting properly

I found if I shut VRS down I had to reset everthing up from scratch which was annoying. Its a bit of a faff but I did eventually manage to get it all set up how I liked then export some setting which you then put into one of the pages in VRS and it all starts correctly now.
