I then start the Planeplotter sharing program, referencing the local IP of my Planeplotter PC:

Then the first instance of modesmixer2 runs to supply the regular dump1090 Beast output on port 30005 (although dump1090 itself is never run): A script in /etc/init.d sequences everything, except Piaware, which syncs up to the setup eventually.įirst the Mode-S Beast switch overrides run in the script, as above. I am using an older Mode-S Beast solution using stock full Raspbian, Piaware, two invocations of modesmixer2, and the PlanePlotter sharing program ppup1090. #To enable 1 bit forward error correction, DIP switch 8 off #To disable 1 bit forward error correction, DIP switch 8 on #To enable RTS handshake, DIP switch 8 on #To disable RTS handshake, DIP switch 8 off #To enable DF-0/4/5 filter, DIP switch 7 on

There are DIP switches in the Beast receiver, one of which disables Mode A/C decoding.
