This error is coming from rtl_power itself, not from auto-rx. Turn on debugging output (auto_rx.py -v), copy the rtl_power command that is run, and try running it yourself and see if the error is still present.

Hmmmmmmm.

darksidelemm commented 3 years ago

Hold on, why are your start and stop frequencies the same? (both 403 MHz) That would likely result in bad things happening.

ZL1LAC commented 3 years ago

Oh, I see it's likely to be a configuration error on my part, I did that because I wasn't getting some noise on either side which I thought might interfere with the process.

darksidelemm commented 3 years ago

Give it a test, and if it works close the issue :-)

ZL1LAC commented 3 years ago

Looks like it was a user error. Closing this move on nothing to see here. /me slaps himself with a smelly tuna fish.

varnav commented 3 years ago

This cryptic error happens if min_freq and max_freq are the same. I think it worth adding correct error output.

darksidelemm commented 3 years ago

... probably better to add some sanity checks when the configuration file is parsed, rather than trying to catch the error later.

shin19855 commented 1 year ago

I faced the same issue when setting auto_rx in 'continuous' mode. I solved it by adding a sudo in the auto_rx.service file:

ExecStart=sudo /usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/radiosonde_auto_rx/auto_rx/auto_rx.py -t 0

darksidelemm commented 1 year ago

There should be no need to run auto_rx as sudo, and this is not recommended.

shin19855 commented 1 year ago

I was using the native installation method, and followed exactly the steps on the Wiki page. The same error occurred twice, on two different sets of RPi + SDR.

My knowledge on RPi and Linux is limited. So, I am all ears to a better solution.

darksidelemm commented 1 year ago

If you are getting errors without running as sudo, then it's likely that you have run auto_rx as sudo at some point previously, and there are now files (log file outputs, other temporary tiles) that your user does not have permissions for.
