Troubleshooting wifi connection

[sage basalt]

I've booted my new receiver, configured the wifi and location. The red lights still blink, and I have a hunch it's not connecting the wifi. How can I check that?

Can you login to your WiFi router and see if the device shows on your network? Also checking the logs to see if a device tried to connect

The blinking red light is a code, what’s the pattern? The patterns are in the prebuilt feeder instructions and the website. Also If it’s the prebuilt feeder WiFi range is limited due to them he metal case, try and hardwire it.

Green LED – blink frequency proportional to # of aircraft with position being received.
Red LED, number of blinks:
1 blink – Zero planes with position detected
2 blinks – Receiver location not set, or 978 UAT service enabled but not running
3 blinks – Readsb service failed
4 blinks – No connection to ADS-B Exchange servers
5 blinks – CPU Temperature and/or power supply voltage failure

the red led pattern is 1 blink - 4 blinks

hang on, I let it sit for 30 mins, now the green is on intermittently, bu the red is blinking 4

Do any of these two look like they may be the receiver? The others are not it for sure

what's your receiver wifi hardware? we can then work out the mac address of the wifi device

the standard(?) dual band metal

I might be wrong but on first look, those don't look like Pi mac or names https://aruljohn.com/mac/vendor/raspberry - however I've not troubleshooted a ADSBx build as I run the Blaena multi feed. I'll see if I can up the ADSBx on a Pi2 I've spare

Its a standard Pi4 inside and the mac will start d8:3a:dd if or e4:57:01, the device name will be ADSBX_metal or whatever you changed it to during setup.

You can try moving it closer to your router and seeing if that helps.

Feed name is not the same as the device hostname...

[jagged ermine]

Your right, hostname will be "adsbexchange"

OK, turns out my laptop had an issue with filling in the wifi connection, so used my phone and it works now, How long before I see the receiver in the location map?
