Feed not showing on map

Hello, My feed is not showing on the coverage map. I am running the 3.5.3 image. What can I do to fix this? It is showing that it is feeding Flightaware but no way of knowing if it is feeding ADSBEchange.

 

How do you know your feed is not showing?

 

I just downloaded 3.6.3 from FlightAware website.

http://piaware.flightcdn.com/piaware-sd-card-3.6.3.img.zip

Burned it to SD using etcher.io and plugged it all in.

FA default login is:

pi
flightaware

Then over ssh I did

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

then installed git and ran the setup script

Code:

sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/adsbxchange/adsb-exchange.git
cd adsb-exchange
chmod +x setup.sh
sudo ./setup.sh

Then I rebooted .. netcat and mlat both started

I didn't try it without updating the Pi to latest first

My guess (based on initial reports) is that initial FA image has rc.local disabled. This may or may not have been intentional.

Beware Flight Aware has overridden Raspbian software repositories in 3.6.3, so they now control what software you can install and what is available version wise.


It is currently feeding customfeed AZ-Pi

It is not showing on the feeder statistics. Also how do know my feeder name is it the Flight aware site #?

 

The map dot?

ADSBx is not FlightAware. FlightAware site number or anything else has nothing to do with ADSBexchange.

 

Ok so map dot is not showing and what name would be showing in the matrix if is not associated with Flightaware. All I did was download the image and claim it on Flightaware. This is very confusing .

 

The 3.5.3 image?

Did you look at piaware-config.txt on the SD card?

 

No what am I looking for? It says nothing in the setup instructions for an image download.
My location and altitude is set on Flightaware

 

How did you set up wifi? I guess you just plugged it in using ethernet?

Yes just plugged in ethernet.

Read that page ... assuming you are using windows ..

if you are using 3.5.3 then it might be feeding .. but no real way to tell without knowing your mac address .... or where you are ...

 

Ok I wish it would work because it is on top of a 1500ft mountain. I guess if you use ethernet you can't have a location show?

 

You just need to configure it using the piaware-config.txt, if you want to know the name and the map pin.

Do you know hwo to ssh into it or use putty?

 

90% use WiFi and that is a very old tutorial.


Terminal into the Pi and run the bellow commands.

Send me the output of status and listnetworks.

Code:

curl -s https://install.zerotier.com/ | sudo bash

sudo zerotier-cli join c7c8172af18c605f
sudo zerotier-cli status
sudo zerotier-cli listnetworks

 

Shows online

f57c5367cc?

 

Yes 1.2.12 online

 

Ok. I configured it as

carbiner1 on MLAT
