collect dump1090 flight positions using socket30003 and save them as csv

dump1090.socket30003's Issues

giving it a try but not taking my longitude W

my location is N50.022, W114.433,
I entered 50.0222, -114,422... it doesn't like the negative sign it seems.

Thanks,
Dino

Data file no sequence

I have set the sequence=yes in common config section and the override=no but the output was appended to the dump (csv) file

socket30003 socket read error

Hi I keep getting this error every few hours, and I have to restart the script. My dump1090 was and is still running fine:

'messagecount=3905,last message='
Not able to read data from the socket! Check whether your dump1090 is running on '127.0.0.1' port 30003 (tcp).

variables mismatch between cfg and scripts

socket30003.cfg uses a variable of

datadirectory

and rangeview.pl + heatmap.pl use

defaultdatadirectory , so they don't pickup the setting

Some questions

Questions are about tedsluis/dump1090 repo, but there I couldn't open an issue, so opening it here.

Do I understand correctly that your code would need to be built up from source? That its not available in some .deb package, nor am I able to build it with "make". Instead I have to use debian package build er right?

I've seen the pbuilder config in the readme, but its for arm architecture (for a r.pi). I would like to run it on my netbook which has a 32-bit atom cpu. Can you help me out how to configure the pbuilder config (I'm a linux beginner).

Also got a feature request. Could you maybe add something to the code to generate a KML file which would contain all the positions of the aircraft including their altitude, so it could be feeded real time into Google Earth to display positions of aircraft in real time in 3D.

Execution of ./rangeview.pl aborted due to compilation errors, from double quotes in help text

Received fatal error when running rangeview.pl on an Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS
machine with perl 5, version 22, subversion 1 (v5.22.1) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi:
Execution of ./rangeview.pl aborted due to compilation error

I was able to fix the issue by escaping the double quotes in lines 239, 240, and 244. For clarity, lines 239 through 244 after the change are pasted below:
