No Device found message on start #146

Closed whallmann closed 1 year ago

whallmann commented 1 year ago

On an Raspi3b i got at start of AIS-Catcher a hint "No device found". The dvbt Dongle (silver stick) will be found on rtl_test normally. Is this a known problem? I did checked parameters double but error message still shown.

It is unusual as it uses the same underlying library. It can be that the build process could not find the library.

You can check by typing:

AIS-catcher -L

which should show something like this including RTL-SDR:

SDR support: RTLSDR AIRSPY AIRSPYHF+ RTLTCP SPYSERVER ZMQ HACKRF

Before building, the necessary libraries should be installed with:

sudo apt install librtlsdr-dev

Which works for Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi, but might be different for your system. Hope this gives some help to diagnose...

Let me know what you find, Jasper

Hi Jasper, thanks for your fast response. Yes support shows: SDR support: RTLSDR RTLTCP SPYSERVER Other support: CURL PostgreSQL ZLIB LIBSAMPLERATE RTLSDR-BIASTEE RTLSDR-TUNERBW and the librtl dll is the newest one: librtlsdr-dev is already the newest version (0.6.0-3).

Any more ideas, Jasper?

I think this works now. Yesterday i booted many times. Today AIS-catcher -d xxxserialxxx found the stick. Do not ask. neigther i will. :-)
