ADS-B on YAAC

#2385
Edited

Greetings Andrew -

Thanks for integrating an ADS-B viewer into YAAC. I run an ADS-B receiver in the truck, and especially when I'm out in the middle of nowhere it's nice to be able to ID aircraft that happen by. I was using the browser interface to my ADS-B program running on an RPi on the truck network, but now that I have YAAC going I can watch there as well!

YAAC is running on a W11 Pro box in the truck, connected to the same truck network.

I've been noticing that a/c icons sometimes rarely move on the map unless I rescale the map or refresh it in some way. For instance, SWA5641 is moving past me at about 20ft and the "Monitored Aircraft" list shows the lat/lon updating once a second or so, but the icon on the map rarely if ever moves, and it always shows a staleness of "0s". That's just one example, there are dozens on the list many moving quickly, but letter to nothing moves on the map. Sometimes, maybe, they update quickly (like if I do a locate).

I did a search for ads-b related stuff on this reflector but didn't see anything about tweaking map update rates. Could it be that YAAC is just overwhelmed? I'm seeing over 350 a/c right now, according to the list.

Hmmm... that's odd. Are the AIS stations remaining on the map and the Station/Object List, or only on the Vessel list?

I do need to tweak the Vessel list so it supports the Clear Real-time Table menu option.

Re: YAAC and AIS-Catcher?

Hi Andrew!

The AIS plug-in has been working great, thank you for the updates. I did notice though that when an AIS object is spotted and tracked the object will show for days after no packets have been received. Is there a way to clear out the stations after no packets have been received, after a certain inactive duration??

Re: Sound Plugin Stopping

#2382

Apparently it was a transient glitch. I ran for a week receiving 4+
messages every day, no problems, followed by a week with no messages
received, then checked into APRS Thursday and it sounded for every
message. I guess it is okay now.

The soundcard is on the motherboard, not removable. I've only got a
couple alerts set up, primarily incoming messages.

Close it out as a non-issue.

Thanks,
Michael WA7SKG

I've had running for 10 straight days now and it's still playing the
.wav file successfully. I don't think I can replicate the problem.

Per chance, is your plugin-selected sound card on USB, and did it get
unplugged at any point? I don't think YAAC would deal well with a
disappearing sound card.

Also, how many different sound files were you using, and did you change
any of them during the run?

It doesn't seem to matter the number of messages. I sent a bunch of test
messages and so far it is still working. I restarted last Thursday.
We'll see what happens this Thursday. It's only been a couple weeks, so
maybe it was just some glitch and no longer happening.

constantly, but only opens them for burst writes of the last few minutes

Alas, I didn't run YAAC for days after implementing the fix, so I didn't
notice any quota leak.

I will look into it the next time I can work on YAAC.

After applying the latest update, I am now getting an alert as expected
with an incoming message, however, it is not lasting. I participate in
the APRS Thursday thing and when I send my report, I get several
messages and the alert sounds. The following week, no sounds. I have to
restart YAAC to get the sounds to come again with incoming messages.
Sometime during the week, they stop working and by the next Thursday I
have to restart YAAC to get them back. My APRS runs 24/7 here in the
shack. I'm not seeing any other issues and no indication when the sound
feature stops working, until I look at the message list and see a
message came in and I got no alert. Ideas? -- 73, Michael WA7SKG

Re: Monitoring a single port?

#2380
Edited

The filters when applied to Station/Object list does seem to give me only the TNC source as I want.

However, when the filters are applied, the Last Rcvd column does not sort correctly. Without the filters applied it does sort correctly.

Update, the sorting by time seems to have corrected itself after a few hours!

Re: To Andrew-Please consider

Stay tuned and I'll see what I can do about getting you some support materials.

Re: Monitoring a single port?

That is true. The Heard Stations view doesn't use YAAC's filtering capability.

I will look into fixing this. Also, you might find other views (such as the Station/Object list) that might provide the information you seek that do use the filters.

Andrew,

I am a new YAAC user. I found the filter to works well as you describe here as far as viewing Raw Packets.

However, when I view Heard Stations, the filter doesn't seem to block the APRS-IS traffic. I have to disable the APRS-IS port in order to see only RF stations in the Heard Stations window. Am I missing something? I would like to continue operating as RF>igate mode, but sometimes only want to see RF stations heard.

Re: YAAC - Installed on inovato Quadra but no USB to TNC option

#2374

The first picture is of my rig - the Argent board is installed, along with their USB adapter.

The DB9 connector and cable are present - as pictured - just not connected.

In the Argent Data sample install - they've removed the db9 connector and cable entirely.

They provide the USB-mini to USB-B jumper, that's shown in both pictures, to bring the data

out the back of the rig.

It's my understanding that the white connector on the side of the Argent Tracker board is

for a GPS device.

I've requested clarification from Argent ... email #3 today ...

Andrew, the Arget board is connected to the radio board with a 10 pin connector or similar cable. Does this then connect to the serial port on the back of the radio?

But there should have been another connection on the Argent board for the DB9 to connect to. The no-installed-daughter-board use of the internal cable is to bring the audio and PTT connections to the DB9 for connection to an external TNC. To quote the directions from the Argent manual:
To install the board, disconnect power to the radio and remove the four screws holding on the bottom cover plate. A multi-colored cable connects the rear connector to the radio’s main board. Remove the cable from the radio board, plug it in to the receptacle on the T3-135 board, and plug the T3-135 board’s cable into the radio board. The supplied hook and loop fastener can be used to secure the T3-135 board to the VCO case. Hope that helps.

The radio has the square wave symbol.

Also, it doesn't play the audio in digital mode, you just hear clicks on the speaker.
