Thank you! Hoping it eases frustration for people.

I will do another video on this topic very soon. Hopefully we can find the bug or a better release of dump1090. Stay tuned!

Sorry, I thought I replied to some of these, but TH-cam says I didn't! ;) I will do another video on this very soon. Hopefully we can find the bug or a better release of dump1090. Stay tuned!

Try to power something else with that power supply, if it works then it's most likely the Pi.

I will do another video on this very soon. Hopefully we can find the bug or a better release of dump1090. It seems the repo I mentioned hasn't been kept up to date. Stay tuned!

You're welcome! Thanks for the sub!

You're welcome! That made me chuckle! Glad it helped!

You're more than welcome! I had the same problem, thankfully an eagle eyed viewer put me on the right track! Figured this was worth a video!

I will start making videos again soon. As you know, I don't have much time outside of work and things around the house. But I will start making them soon. I have to fix my video editing software too. It's not rendering drop files for me to edit the smaller files. And my PC can't handle the big files :-) But I'll start spending some time to figure it out.

The intent of this was only to move the mouse in order to keep a screen unlocked and a session active on a network. Randomly clicking could have unintended consequences depending on where you leave the pointer sitting. That said, it would be very easy to add in a click. Look at random.randrange. It would be best to write the code that after x seconds the pointer moves to a safer space on the screen - and then in that space describe a box and then generate the clicks within that box.

You are welcome! That's why I did it. I got slightly frustrated one day and started document hunting, only to have a viewer message me on Facebook with the solution. Figured I'd make it easier on the people that followed behind me and ran into the same issue.

Doing well. Just have been super busy at work and haven't had any time. Will be putting up a video (of some sort) soon.

You're welcome.

Good idea!

Try it on another computer (if available). Make sure your USB cable is a data cable. (some only provide power) Press and hold the BOOTSEL button while plugging it in, see if that connects.

@@RickMunday thanks I actually tried a different USB port and it worked

@@ethanwashoe5868 Sweet!

Glad it was fixed!

The entirety of the soldering is done on the underside of the board.

All done on the underside. Is there something specific you'd like to see on it?

@@RickMunday oh, I see the rows are already internally connected. I thought you you would need to solder a line from the pico rails to the terminal rails. OK, great video. I do appreciate you taking the time to make it.

My obvious first question is: is the USB cable you are using data ready? Is it the same cable you flashed circuitpy to the pico with? Is it a RasPi Pico or an aftermarket RP2040? Windows, Mac or Linux PC? If you press BOOTSEL and you plug it in, does it mount as an RPI-RP2 device?

@@RickMunday I have completely handled the problem, thank for helping me

Huh? The video is 3 years old

What version of dump1090 are you running? Did you build from source or download a pre-built binary? Also is it the FA version? Just for giggles, try running it as sudo.

@@stfuandfish followed your instructions. No luck on sudo either. Had to replace the .h and .c doles as per that link

Odd. I'll have to try a reinstall and see if I can duplicate it. I don't remember if it was this video or the other one on dump 1090, but a user had a similar issue and downloaded The tarball from GitHub rather than the creator's website. If I recall correctly if addressed a couple problems with the path. I will try and get to it this week.

any info on this as i am also getting this error@@stfuandfish

@@stfuandfish Stuck with this same error, was a solution ever found?

You're welcome! Glad it helped!

You're more than welcome!

You're welcome!

I can't take credit for the idea, but it seemed to be a very logical use :-) since this was only ever used for IT tools, I didn't have to worry about anything nasty lingering from chemicals. There's been virtually no change to this since the video. It just worked so well. I've thought about adding a large mAh battery under the lid with a couple USB plugs protruding, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

What are the errors or any errors you are getting?

Thanks! Nice to hear.

I've been thinking about dedicating a Pi4 to an SDR with the controller board once finished. I just need to find the right software. Compared to SDR-Play most for Linux are laggy or lacking some of the features or have to high of a learning curve. It's the one thing I miss about SWLing/Scanning in the 70's as a kid and then the mid-80's through early 90's, it wasn't overly complex. In particular with SWL in Germany when I lived there though the late 80's early 90's, you didn't need a fancy setup. I ran a couple different receivers over the years tied into my C-64 with the MFJ decoder and could hear pretty much everything. Now, sheesh... 🤣You need a data center!

@@stfuandfish I was quite surprised with how well SDR++ ran on the Pi, seems to work well with the touch screen as well, I rarely ever have to use the mouse to manipulate SDR++.

@@madmax2069 That's actually what I'm playing with now. It lacks some keyboard controls I'd like to have to make this interface work with it. Mainly, some controls only work when the mouse has focus on that area of the interface. (github.com/AlexandreRouma/SDRPlusPlus/wiki/UI-Controls) The viewer that sparked the build idea only has limited use of one hand, so that's kind of a key factor for this build. BUT I'd love to have a full controller as well.

@@stfuandfish Ugh, my comment went poof, have you tried getting into contact with the dev of SDR++ to ask if said functionality can be added?, He has a Discord server as well you could ask in as well.

Thanks!

Are you holding the BOOT/SEL button on power up? Once you do this it should open up in the appropriate Files application for your OS. Then you drag and drop or paste the nuke UF2 into the Pico folder and the Pico will reset. Also, make sure your USB cable is a data cable

Any luck?

It's a complete erase, so I would assume so.

Fixed it. :) Thanks for catching that!

Ooops!

It's not that difficult. I find the programming harder than the circuitry sometimes.

In Virtual Radar? You can use two map sources, see www.virtualradarserver.co.uk/Documentation/WebServer/DataSourcesOptions.aspx

Yes

It is easily my favorite preserve in Cook county. The quiet is the absolute win! I've was trying to find an out of the way spot to just have a "chill spot" for the days I just want to get away from it all. I've gone there and sat and made lunches, leaned up against a tree and just took a nap. :) Love that place!

I've not gone back and completed the whole thing, but it's on my list as well. Great cycling path.

You are more than welcome. I had the same issue, so I made the video. :)

At the time this video was recorded, it was peak pandemic.

You're more than welcome! Glad it helped!

It's the time of Christmas miracles 🤣 You're welcome!

It's weird as it sounds, I love when I'm on the trails and they kind of escort you through their territory. Quite a few times I've noticed them 30 or 40 ft in the woods paralleling me as I walk along and then they just peel off at the last minute. Thanks for the follow!
