Hi all,

I have finally got the Long Mynd station up on the new tower and working properly.  From this high point, we can see from Birmingham to the Welsh coast, and from Whitchurch to the Brecon Beacons.

I have also added a small ADSB antenna, but no idea if it is working.  It is a bit shaded by the (huge) anemometer, which I presumed was plastic but turned out to be 1950s metal (and still going....).  Can anyone see if the ADSB bit is working?

Roger

Hi Roger
It appears the station is only picking up PilotAware traffic - No ADSB and no FLARM.
If we can install the latest software, as per these instructions
http://forum.pilotaware.com/index.php/topic,1760.msg19000.html#msg19000

We can get access remotely to diagnose (you will need to share a login password)

Thx
Lee

I put in the new sim card I bought from you, with the new software on it.
Is it not giving that version?

Edit - I see there is a new version.
It says ‘after logging on to the OGN’.
How do I log on to the OGN...?

Hi Roger,

There seems to be a bit of confusion here. PWMynd is still running the 20191008 software. You need to update by running the curl script Lee referred to above.

You should be able to get to the login prompt from the Status screen after connecting with your tablet, pc or laptop.

If you pm me your e-mail address, I will e-mail you a copy of the detailed instruction sheet explaining how to do the update.

Regards

Peter

PWUKCHP is now update and running the correct software. Also PWEGNL is up now but will only be on at weekends as it is a backup to PWUKBRW for when we are active.

I’m new to Pilotaware and was wondering if the attached pic of the Open Gliders Network map of Hungary showing green coverage means that these are rebroadcasting stations.

I suppose these are mainly OGN (FLARM) stations

Hi tmmtaha75,

Sorry - unfortunately there are no OGN-R rebroadcast stations in Hungary yet. As per mariko’s post, the ones on your screenshot are all basic OGN Receiving Stations. Where are you based?

Hi All,

Thanks to hard work by Gary Sinclair and his colleagues, a new ATOM Station is now on line at Strathaven (pronounced Strayven) south east of Glasgow. This should prove a valuable and significant addition to the network north of the Border.

Well done Gary.

Regards

Peter
p.s. Gary also runs the station at Lenzie north east of Glasgow

Hi All,

Not a ‘New Station’ as such, but Rob Tatlow and I added 1090Rx to the existing site PWUKMil, at Milfield Gliding Club, near Alnwick yesterday, which brings it up to full ATOM-GRID Status, (with Mode-S 3D transmission already enabled). Coverage looks good from south of Newcastle to well up the East coast of Scotland.

Regards

Peter

Hi,

I'm in the process of setting up an OGN-R station in south Lincolnshire near Long Sutton.

I've gone through loading the software Ver. 201902020 onto the Pi and logged in per the instructions but cant get the ./do-cfg.sh command to work. The cd command works fine and I'm in the rtlsdr-ogn directory and can see the file PilotAware-OGN.config.sh which I presume is the correct file to run?

I'm new to Linux, but following the setup procedure in the document to the letter but getting nowhere.

I watched the installation unpack and there weren't any errors shown so I can't understand why the process won't start - Any ideas please?

Thanks,

Frank.

Hi Frank,

It sounds like you are trying to manually configure the software. There is a much easier (and more efficient) method.

Download the latest software from...

https://pilotaware.lode.co.uk/downloads/OGN/PilotAware-OGN.latest.zip

You will currently get version 20200714 - please don’t use your pre-November 2019 version - it doesn’t contain the network or auto-update software.

Load this onto a fresh or fully reformatted card, install into your Pi, power up and leave it to unpack.

Log into the pi..

pi

12345678 (or later your own password if you’ve already set one)

Change directory (just type the bits in bold and hit [Enter])

cd rtlsdr-ogn

Then type...

./PilotAware-OGN.config.sh (in this step OGN is in caps - as are the 'P' and 'A' in PilotAware)

This will automatically stop the rtlsdr-ogn service (which will be what is stopping your attempts) and lead you through the configuration process.

If you make a mistake, complete the sequence then power the Pi down, restart it, log back in (using your new password if you have already done that bit) change directory as above and re-run the config script.

Much easier than trying to stop/start the program and configure the files manually.

Best Regards

Peter

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply and info.

I'm just attempting to follow the setup information from here:

http://forum.pilotaware.com/index.php/topic,974.0.html

which links to this document:

http://www.pilotaware.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Building-an-OGN-PAW-Uplink.pdf

I downloaded and unpacked the latest version as you suggested, but was still getting exactly the same error. HOWEVER I checked the directory contents and the penny dropped!! I typed ./PilotAware-OGN.config.sh and lo and behold it worked. It was the lack of capitals P and A in the right places that were causing the problem.

I note though the remote connection option using http://ognpaw.local:4200/ still works on the latest version, none of the diagnostic ports:

http://ognpaw.local:8080
http://ognpaw.local:8081
http://ognpaw.local:8082

listed in the above document seem to work now.

I've entered all the lat/long/height info etc, named the site and completed the setup but as yet can't see the station on the https://ognrange.glidernet.org/ site. Whether it's because the Pi and aerials are inside at the moment I'm not sure, but I would have thought the station position would be sent to the server via the internet connection to update the location but I may be wrong - It's a learning thing!

I'm sure I'll have more questions as I progress, but it's a great project!

Thanks,

Frank.
