UDP mode functionality broken in 1.6.0

[buttim]

As stated in https://github.com/projecthorus/radiosonde_auto_rx/wiki/RS----Auto_RX-JSON-Formats the special id TCP001 used as the device_id value in station.cfg should activate the UDP mode of auto_rx. auto_rx does not recognize the special value and tries to open the SDR device with a key value of TCP001, resulting in errors:

RTLSDR - Could not find RTLSDR with serial TCP001! WARNINGScanner (RTLSDR TCP001) - SDR produced no output... resetting and retrying.

Can you confirm you are starting auto_rx with:

python3 auto_rx.py -m UDP -f 403.000

...as specified in the page you linked.

This works for me.

I read the line in the doc and then completely forgot it, i'm really sorry. Now I don't get an error and the UDP port 50000 is open. Sadly it doesn't seem to react to my UDP packets, do I need to specify a specific origin port? Should the log say something if the packet is malformed?

[buttim]

The packet I'm sending: {"id": "F0000001", "type": "rs41", "frame": 999, "datetime": "2023-03-04T00:03:28.730490Z", "lat": 45.5, "lon": 7.65, "alt": 8848}

I suspect that type field would probably get discarded due to not being what auto_rx expects (RS41). Still, this should result in an error.

Try running auto_rx with -v to see if anything else is showing up.

[darksidelemm]

I should also ask - what are you trying to do here?

[buttim]

No output when I send the packet even with the -v option. I corrected the type to RS41 but nothing changed

[buttim]

Just experimenting for now, but the idea could be attach a TTGO to the raspberry USB and use the auto_rx framework

[darksidelemm]

Honestly, I'd prefer that didn't happen. The UDP input was only ever intended to allow the RS decoders to be run independently from auto_rx for testing purposes, not as a way for other decoders to feed in data. There's too much linkage between the RS decoders and auto_rx for that to work reliably, without significant work to make other decoders 'look' the same as the RS decoders.

[buttim]

I see. Maybe it should be worth it to quickly check if the functionality is indeed broken and update the docs accordingly. Thanks for helping and feel free to close this issue

I use the chasemapper program for this. There everything runs together (AutoRX and TTGO data). TTGO settings: Chasemapper active: 1 Chasemapper UDP host: host machine IP or address Chasemapper UDP port: 55673 Only one profile with port 55673 is created in the chasemapper. RDZsonde is slightly modified, it also sends the station name in the json. It works fine.
