I needed to rebuild this all from scratch as I recently lost my SD card after 3 years of service. Planeplotter recognizes the DF18 MLAT messages from Piaware and color codes the MLAT icons white on its display. I can connect Planeplotter to port 30005 to see the output of only my receiver or port 30015 to see the combined receiver/MLAT feed, or even port 30105 (from Piaware) to view MLAT-only positions. The second modesmixer2 instance prevents polluting the pseudo-dump1090 stream on port 30005 with MLAT data before feeding to Planeplotter’s sharing servers. Modesmixer2 -inConnect localhost:30005 -inServer 30104 -outServer beast:30015 -web 8080 -location 41.xxxxxx:-88.xxxxxxĪ bit complex, but allows displaying MLAT positions on Planeplotter while still servicing Planeplotters internal sharing system, allowing the Pi to act as a Planeplotter ground station. I also start the modesmixer2 web server, which also displays the combined streams/ Ppup1090 -quiet -net-pp-ipaddr 192.168.1.130įinally, I start the last instance of modesmixer 2 which combines the MLAT positions from Piaware from port 30104 with my receiver data on port 30005 and makes the combined stream available to Planeplotter or other program on port 30015. I then start the Planeplotter sharing program, referencing the local IP of my Planeplotter PC:

Modesmixer2 -inSerial /dev/ttyUSB0:3000000:hardware -outServer beast:30005 Then the first instance of modesmixer2 runs to supply the regular dump1090 Beast output on port 30005 (although dump1090 itself is never run): A script in /etc/init.d sequences everything, except Piaware, which syncs up to the setup eventually.įirst the Mode-S Beast switch overrides run in the script, as above.
PLANEPLOTTER PBWORKS FULL
I am using an older Mode-S Beast solution using stock full Raspbian, Piaware, two invocations of modesmixer2, and the PlanePlotter sharing program ppup1090. #To enable 1 bit forward error correction, DIP switch 8 off #To disable 1 bit forward error correction, DIP switch 8 on #To enable RTS handshake, DIP switch 8 on #To disable RTS handshake, DIP switch 8 off #To enable DF-0/4/5 filter, DIP switch 7 on #To disable DF-0/4/5 filter, DIP switch 7 off #To enable MLAT timestamp, DIP switch 5 on #To disable MLAT timestamp, DIP switch 5 off #To enable DF-11/17 only filter, DIP switch 4 on #To disable DF-11/17 only filter, DIP switch 4 off #To enable Binary output format dip switch 3 on #To enable AVR output format, DIP switch 3 off
PLANEPLOTTER PBWORKS SOFTWARE
See the last entry for the Mode A/C software switch: #DIP switch override settings - set by uncommenting selection as per PlanePlotter recommendations I use the following lines in my initialization script to software-override the hardware switch settings, as needed.

There are DIP switches in the Beast receiver, one of which disables Mode A/C decoding.
