I've just seen my first AIS-catcher target, a SAR aircraft flew overhead.
Everything shows up in SignalK, and the AIS-catcher web interface is amazing. It's such a big improvement to what we had before, many thanks to everyone who made it happen.
One small improvement suggestion, could we add an option to share data with the AIS-catcher community feed? https://aiscatcher.org/about#join

Updated openpotter-sdr-vhf v4 adding "Share with AIS-catcher" option.
Push to github done.
I am testing this now with an SDR device and I am impressed. AIS-catcher is a real game-changer.
Thank you all.
NOTE: If you are in the US, you are lucky because the AIS-catcher web viewer even has the NOAA charts overlayed.

Looks like it's working, thanks for adding it so quickly.

is this something that works with Maiana as well as SDR?

I am afraid not:
"If you're interested in sharing but are not using AIS-catcher, please contact us at jvde-github at gmail.com for assistance in connecting through a dedicated UDP port."
If you are transmitting with Maiana, you will probably already appear in the marinetraffic web viewer.

ais-catcher does support NMEA input over TCP or UDP:
https://github.com/jvde-github/AIS-catch...nmea-input
With that, you could feed ais-catcher AIS data from Signal-K via the ais-forwarder plugin:
https://github.com/hkapanen/ais-forwarder
The ais-catcher documentation also mentions the option to get NMEA data directly from the AIS receiver over serial via cat, but I'm not sure how reliable that is as a background service.

I had the same problem, Linux just do not work properly with some mice. You need to change scanning time, i did it about 5 years ago to get my lovely mouse working, but do not remember details Other way, just try another mouse.

Edit Reason: problem fixed by password reset
)
Weird thing has happened..
I got the usual notification "updates are available" but when I attempt to install updates it asks for authentication.
I accept "pi" as identity and enter "raspberry" as the Password, click OK and it gives me an error "Authentication failed! Wrong password?"
I can't see how or why I could have possibly changed it from "raspberry".
Has anyone else come across this one ?
Thanks
edit:- reset it now and all is good but it must have been corrupted somehow??

Quick question on the SDR changes. I'm using a Pi 5 with the starter load. My old SDR died, so I just bought a new RTL-SDR V4 device. If I run the calibration, I get a good -7 for initial PPM offset. When I try to run it on the GSM 850 band (I'm in Maryland), all I get are messages of:
[R82XX] PLL not locked!
[R82XX] PLL not locked!
[R82XX] PLL not locked!
[R82XX] PLL not locked!
[R82XX] PLL not locked!
for every channel.
The RTL-SDR website says that you need different drivers for the V4 model, but if you follow their Debian procedures, the SDR-VHF software in uninstalled. I've checked for the latest software, run apt, done the things I could think of. Is there something else that needs to be done, is this a bad SDR, any thoughts or suggestions?

There you can setup the hotspot on wlan0 and share the connection with other networks.

Ok - I've got this working, but on a reboot, the virtual interface disappears and I have to recreate it, so I need to work out how to stop that happening.
Here is what I did:
sudo iw phy0 interface add vap0 type __ap
Then in the network manager, you can see the virtual AP, called vap0. I then set that up as a hotspot, had to force 2.4 GHz, select vap0 in device, create the SSID. I'm using WPA/WAP2/WAP3 as the security type otherwise I can't join it. IPv4 settings - Method Shared to other computers and i've created an IP address range 10.1.1. 24 10.1.1.1 in my case. Then I joined my home network (remember this has to be the same band as the hosted network) so 2.4 in my case, bounced things a couple of times and its working. My phone joined it and I have internet access through the pi.
ifconfig shows ips on both vap0 and wlan0 in the correct networks.
Any chance you can bring the app back ![Big Grin Big Grin](https://forum.openmarine.net/images/smilies/biggrin.png)
Very nice, that works for me. This might give the persistent answer: https://superuser.com/questions/759542/h...es-with-iw
I'll look at that now.

This doesn't seem to work for my SensESP project.
I can connect with no problem to a Pi4 running OP3 but no matter what I try (including the above suggestion), the SensESP example app refuses to connect to either a Pi4 or a Pi5 running OP4.
I think this is a SensESP issue - every other device I have tried is very happy to connect to a hotspot set up under OP4.
Any clues gratefully accepted - I'd really like to update to Pi5/OP4 but this is a dealbreaker at the moment.
