How to Get SDRPlay working with Raspberry Pi

Post by SJG1976 » Wed May 11, 2016 6:21 pm

I'm having a bit of trouble getting the SDRplay working with a raspberry Pi 3.

I've downloaded the SDRplay_RSP_MiricsAPI-1.9.2.RPi.run and also the SDRplay_ADS-B_RPi_0.1.run

After they have both run, I still can't get anything to work.

I'm getting the following Error.

Wed May 11 19:16:48 2016 BST dump1090-mutability dump1090_mutability_sdrplay starting up.
Using sample converter: UC8, integer/table path
No supported RTLSDR devices found.


I'm guessing I've missed a Step somewhere, but I can't see to find what.

If i do a lsusb.
Bus 001 Device 032: ID 1df7:2500

So I'm guessing I'm seeing the device
Also a dmesg

usb 1-1.5.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0

Any idea what I've done wrong?

Thanks for the pointers.

Steve

When running our modified version of dump1090 you will need the --dev-sdrplay option otherwise it will look for a RTL device.

Best regards,
