My red light won't stay on, is it supposed to?

Re: Raspberry Pi ADSB-IN

Yes. A blinking or intermittent red light (it's the power on indicator) tells you that the power to the pi is insufficient. What kind of power supply are you using?

Re: Raspberry Pi ADSB-IN

Thanks. I was using the KMASHI that came with the kit. Switched to an Anker and had the same problem. Switched to a larger Anker and it is staying on now. I'm running 2 receivers, one each for 978 and 1090, so maybe it needs more power.

Re: Raspberry Pi ADSB-IN

Generally speaking, the latest version of stratux apparently has reduced the power requirement to keep the pi happy. What version of the stratux image are you using? Version 0.4r4 is the latest (as of yesterday).

Another possible issue is the quality of the USB power cable. You might try changing to another USB cable and see if it will work on the original power supply.

I've been able to run the pi with two ADSB dongles off of a UBS power source at less than 2 amps without any issues.

Hope this helps.
