Patrick I believe there is an issue with RTLDavis driver when running on a RPI w/Buster. I installed the driver on a RPI w/stretch and it found the transmitter within a minute. Rebooted several times and transmitter was found. Here is general information about the RPI w/stretch:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)" NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux" VERSION_ID="9" VERSION="9 (stretch)" VERSION_CODENAME=stretch ID=raspbian ID_LIKE=Debian pi@raspberrypi:~ $ go version go version go1.7.4 linux/arm Now I reinstalled the RTLDavis running RPI w/Buster, and it is waiting for the transmitter to be seen. Here is general information about the RPI w/Buster: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)" NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux" VERSION_ID="10" VERSION="10 (buster)" VERSION_CODENAME=buster ID=raspbian ID_LIKE=debian pi@raspberrypi:~ $ go version go version go1.11.6 linux/arm Besides the OS, it's using the latest version of golang. Wondering if that is causing the issue.
