New rtlsdr Plugin

[Harry99]

I'm sorry, but as I said I am a Beginner in Linux.

I tried to install aisdecoder but got an error:
-- Build configuration: RELEASE
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:51 (MESSAGE):
The development files for ALSA or PulseAudio are required - libasound-dev,
libpulse-dev

Then I added Software directly from Raspian "Add/Remove Software":
"libpulse-dev-12.2-4+deb10u" and "libasound2-dev-1.1.8-1+rpt1"
but the errof while compiling aisdecoder still is the same.

What should I do?

Thank you for your help.

Yours Harry

Thank you very much for the plugin.

Can you add it to the repository, so that we can install it per apt-get on raspberry pi 4 please?

Thanks!

Raspberry Pi 4 uses Buster so requires a special build. I will try to make one for experimenting on Buster.

Note: Buster is not officially supported with OpenCPN PPA packages yet. It is in the works.

Hi Dan,

your Buster version of OpenCPN is working very well on my 64 bits Raspian.

I'am also interested to test my RTL-DSR dongle for Ais in the Buster version.. Here at my home. It is still not available in OpenPlotter 2.0 beta.

On board I have an transponder.

Regards and thank for your efforts,


Bram

Hi Dan,

here I got the 64 bits Raspian Buster version. Works very well and now with the V8 (64 bits) kernel. Latest version is 4.19.93-V8+

Your OpenCPN Buster version with SignalK input also works very well on this version.

It is certainly an improvement.

Hi Dan, have you been successful in building a build for raspberry pi 4?
Thank you very much,

Hi Sean,
I have had this plugin and the notion of a cheap AIS receiver in my sights since I saw the various projects.
I have spent the afternoon installing / compiling on Ubuntu 18.04 . All went well without error except for...
when I go for a >sudo apt-get install opencpn-plugin-rtlsdr I get no such package from apt.
I installed opencpn from PPA repository and it is still there and working.
I have compiled the rtlsdr_pi plugin from github but simply dropping it into the /usr/share/opencpn/plugins directory doesn't yield any results.
Can you give me some guidance about this?

After running "make", you have two choices. Install directly with "$sudo make install" or make your own package with "$sudo make package", which you then install like a normal deb package.

Remember apt-get is for retrieving packages from the internet. You make a local package like this:

sudo make package

That will create .deb file in the build folder.

ls *.deb

Will show you the name of the local plugin package.
Install a local package like this:

sudo dpkg -i pluginname.deb

But it is much simpler and even necessary if you want to debug your plugin to do this:

sudo make install

Did you read the instructions for building OpenCPN on Linux? You have to install all the needed packages.

Thanks for all the advice. I did sone of the steps mentioned but will try again with sudo make package and checking necessities with dpkg.

Hello folks,

I am attempting to use the RTLSDR plugin for the first time.
Windows 10 64-bit. Completely up to date.
OpenCPN 5.2.4
Plugin version 1.3

I installed the plugin by downloading and running the Windows Setup package from here;
https://opencpn.org/OpenCPN/plugins/rtlsdr.html

I am using a RTL SDR BLOG dongle which works with AIRSPY and with the ZADIG driver I downloaded for that purpose.

My problem with the plug in is that it "Fails to open".
Also and probably related, the "rtlsdr preferences" dialog will not let me select a "program".

I suspect the plugin setup package failed to install rtl_sdr.exe etc. Where does OpenCPN expect to find the SDR files on a Windows 10 system?
