As the receiver does get 'warm', we goingto test with A-meter in between usb connection.
Also have to measure the impedance of the home-made antenna.
Maybe use the rpi-fan also for receiver?
The fan does spin also on blink GPIO ;)

Re: Raspberry 3B

Post by admin »

Found the Linux version on it's microSD (32GB) way behind:
Linux DGPI3 4.19.66-v7+ #1253 SMP Thu Aug 15 11:49:46 BST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux
Now the RTL-SDR receiver takes about 250mA which is normal behavior.
The self-made antenna needs some adjustment, but for now testing to see if the receiver gets 'warm' again after 24 hours.
Have to make new OS version for this rpi and test again.

For the laser printer (rpi3B+) I have 1 microSD 32GB Linux Debian PREEMPT version (due to timing issues & http://linuxcnc.org/).
Which I keep apart, as the Rpi that drives the laser-printer is now working as RF-transceiver 4 indoor light on/off & doorbell with its own 32GB microSD.
Linux DGrpi2 5.15.84-v7+ #1613 SMP Thu Jan 5 11:59:48 GMT 2023 armv7l GNU/Linux
(DGrpi2 = most probably the old rpi2 SD card -BMC2835-, the rpi3B(+) however is BMC2837.)

Re: Raspberry 3B for Flightradar24

Post by admin »

After over 150 days of working without issues it seems the Flightradar24 Raspberry is out of business.
Checked on xy-mon monitor, it has been down since yesterday around 1900h.

Onsite found that the original raspberry adapter (5V & 2,5A) has died.
As we have enough 5 Volt with 3 A adapters, we created a new one for the Flightradar24 Raspberry.

Also updated the Raspberry, as there were over 80 updates available.
Still need to upgrade to Debian OS, but that is done later.

For now: Linux RpiDG3B-FR24 6.1.21-v8+ #1642 SMP PREEMPT
