Radar showing "noise" instead of radar #87

Stefan-Kosker commented 4 days ago

I installed the stratux EU32 and radar software afterwards. Today I installed the SDR devices and can see traffic ADS-B in Stratux.

But the screen shows this: image

What did I wrong? I am using the same screen you suggested and checked the connections again and again. Currently I am still waiting for the T-Beam and GPS Antenna from China. So maybe this is the issue? (No GPS = No Radar)?

Here is my pin-out:

USB being on the left, 17 is correct position.

Something appears to work at least: image

The manual execution also seems fine:

pi@stratux:~/stratux-radar-display/main $ python3 radar.py -r -d Oled_1in5 -c 127.0.0.1
Stratux Radar Display 2.05 running ...
Version: luma.oled 3.10.0 (luma.core 2.4.0)
Display: ssd1351
Interface: spi
Dimensions: 128 x 128

Cabling seems correct. Did you disable I2C/OGN Transmission under settings? (see required setting in picture)

Ye. Disabled. Still problem.

Does it have to be disabled at installation time? And besides. Does T-Beam module work with this disabled? If FlarmTX + Radar not working simultaniously, I will order a raspberry w2 immediatly

TomBric commented 3 days ago

It is ok to disable it and then reboot, not necessary at installation time. And this does NOT affect T-Beam. It is only needed for a special hardware, a GPIO hat. So no need for an additional pi.

But still your problem exists. I will check with my hardware in the next days. Strange ...

Stefan-Kosker commented 3 days ago

Appreciate it. I would really like to not having to buy another end device. Because my next step will be classic over engineered German solution with a mini pc, hdmi touch screen and shit. Then I can throw away the whole energy planning with 30Ah powerbank out of window...

Maybe my display has an error. Maybe I send it to you.

Or wait, let me first test it using an Arduino / esp32. If it is broken there as well, then we have the issue.

Thank you mate.

Ye Display works.

Hi Stefan, I just checked with my hardware and the oled display:

Checklist:

Result: Still failing.

I will send raspberry and the screen back and purchase a new one. Maybe it is a hardware fail. Theoretically, when I push SD Card into the new Raspberry, it should work out without any issues.

TomBric commented 20 hours ago

I am still considering a cabling or software problem. Before you send everything back, maybe you can do a test with luma, which is the oled software. See examples and instructions here: github.com/rm-hull/luma.examples This way you can test display and pi together independent of stratux.

An another alternative use the tests provided by waveshare: waveshare.com/wiki/1.5inch_OLED_Module

Stefan-Kosker commented 13 hours ago

Yeah no, so the luma.examples I couldn't run. Waveshare test just stays black. Sad

Are you using a rasp pi 3 or 3+? (or even 4?)

TomBric commented 1 hour ago

I am actually using a pi 3B v1.2. Same as yours. But also with a Pi4 it works.
