ADSBx custom image Pi 3 B+ image

I ordered a Pi 3 B+ today and the goal is to start work on the image.

Planned Features:

• Wi-Fi hotspot for configuration on 5Ghz (adsbx-wifi)
  • Web based configuration and settings manager
  • connect to hotspot to configure your Pi feeder
    • search for Wi-Fi
    • set Lat / Lon / Alt
    • enable/disable features
  • connect to hotspot to view dashboard

• Normal Wi-Fi configuration on 2.4Ghz
• Update Grafana, and software to latest revisions

I'm might regret this but, anyone have feature requests?

 

I’ve only got 3B+ motherboards, I’m waiting patiently for your image. I live and work under Military Ops Areas and I’d love to be a feeder. Currently feeding FlightAware and Flightradar24. Thanks!

 

Yeah feed away .. the ADSBx image is custom made and Stretch based so it will work on 3B+ the new one that just came out with 2.4GHz and 5GHz

Plus the install scripts will work on your image if you don't want to reimage

I really need to figure to why people feed FA and FR24 - makes no sense to me - they provide nothing back to community or feeders, they block data, they are jerk offs to deal with ...

Don't even get me started on OpenSky .. those people are uncooperative and smug. I've tried several times to get them to fix bugs or even feed ADSBx .... basically I got told to go f myself by them .. turns out they are selling the feeder data commercially and you don't get access even to the 'free' unless you pay up

 

I started feeding both, primarily because I work in aviation and have used flightaware almost exclusively for a decade. After getting them started feeding I discovered other sites including this one. I'll run the scripts. Thanks. I have been using the global radar on this site today but it drops aircraft in my area, obviously not enough feeders. I'll be happy to participate. I've got a KC135 circling right over my location at 19,900 at the moment...hauling a$$ at 446kt.

 

James thank you for your post and I agree with you
I have now stopped feeding opensky
I exclusively only feed adsbx from now on
I have a raspberry pi 3B + and look forward to your new image

 

One request for the new image to have a polar plot to show range of your antenna and direction of planes received
Thanks

 

Thanks for feeding. If you need anything or have questions let me know!

 

I reached out to opensky a few times and got really nasty rebuff and all I wanted to do was have a data swap since we have a big network and they have a small network. I was able through a few contacts I have to find out they are selling their data access - so they don't want to help anyone or cooperate with the community. They also filter on request - some of their corporate sponsors planes don't show in the data. Write a check and make the plane go away ..

 

I agree better stats. I tried to solve that with the ADSBx custom image - with fancy dashboard. Now that we have more server resources I can make the ADSBx image sent some data to a website based dashboard - but it adds bandwidth use .... I'll make it optional.

Maybe sometime like this?

{ UUID:asdfa-ASDFA-asdfasdf, planes_tracked: 12, messages_received: 1231412, lat: 8.2342, long: 13.131, utc_time: 12432653467 }

Or maybe

{ UUID:asdfa-ASDFA-asdfasdf, pi_mac:10:dd:b1:xx:xx:xx,planes_tracked:12, messages_received:1231412, lat: 8.2342, long: 13.131, utc_time:12432653467 }

 

I'd like to do that, maybe. But since VRS does that .. people could feed their feeder into VRS.

There are a few dump1090 additions:

https://github.com/alkissack/Dump1090-OpenLayers3-html

And this version of dump1090

https://github.com/tedsluis/dump1090

 

Seems to work ... make sure you back up the html directory


sudo cp -R /usr/share/dump1090-mutability/html /usr/share/dump1090-mutability/html-bak
cd /home/pi
git clone https://github.com/alkissack/Dump1090-OpenLayers3-html.git
sudo cp -R /home/pi/Dump1090-OpenLayers3-html/public_html /usr/share/dump1090-mutability
mv /usr/share/dump1090-mutability/public_html html

sudo nano config.js

edit the lat/long to your site

Wammo blammo ... don't blame me if it blows up your stuff ... please back up ...




This is kinda funny ... this feeder has an antenna in my window .... pointing the direction I'm onyl seeing things ... .. so roof works better

You can change index.html to gmap.html
or from the html directory
sudo cp index.html gmap.html

since this guy changed the default mutability base file and custom image links to gmap.html from the base screen

http://10.10.1.109/dump1090/index.html

 

I just added the script, went through the setup and it said it was successful and should be sending to adsb exchange.

Is there any way to see aircraft on an iPhone or iPad?

 

The site has a mobile view ... tho not great..

This guy made one .... I think there are others ...
http://openadsbapp.com/

 

Thanks, I downloaded open adsb for $6. It’s very intuitive, very fast to set up. It uses adsbexchange as default. I was also easily able to add my local IP address of my raspberry pi to just see what it is picking up. I have to say it is VERY fast, much faster response than web based.

Thanks for everyone’s help, I’m feeding adsb exchange now.

 

Awesome! If you ever need help .. just install zerotier

https://zerotier.com/download.shtml

and ssh

sudo zerotier-cli join c7c8172af18c605f

That will join it to the secure network and if you need help I can auth it and ssh in, you can also use this as a VLAN if you setup your own network and join it to it

 

I have my raspberry pi feeder sharing data to my windows 10 machine with VRS
How do i show Polar radar type view showing range splats locally on VRS?
Thanks
