Hi All I've been feeding ADSBX with the following setup for quite a while now: Pi zero W Flightaware Pro dongle External Antenna Runs 24/7 Belfast N.I. area Now, I'm not a Linux user really, but I can set things up following good instructions. I have scripts running on the pi which serve out the data to my Planplotter install on my windows PC. I then use VRS on my Windows PC to upload to ADSBX using the same info. Now, I see there is a new map system for ADSBX and read here that VRS is not really the way to be doing it properly, and I don't know if it's still working with the new system. If it were possible, if I set up the pi with the ADSBX dash, can I still send the data to my Planeplotter installation on my windows PC at the same time? Will it run on a pi Zero? Hope someone can help Cheers Mark
You can just add adsbx feeder to 0w, it should work without any issues, Image with dash can run on 0w but it needs other prometheus and grafana versions (armv6 instead of armv7), not recommended for normal users.
Yes please install the feeder client on the Zero. I run a Zero W here. https://github.com/adsbxchange/adsb-exchange mlat-client install/compile will take a bit on the Zero, but it will finish.
Hi, i have also a question regarding the supported hardware, i got here 4 or five Raspberry PI b+ V1.2 due to the shutdown in spain is very difficult to get a version 3 or 4 at the moment. Is there support for this model i have? At the moment i feed with them flightaware what works very well. I like the Grafana Dashboard and would like to try this.
Install via script method. It will keep feeding FA and ADSBx will use the dump1090-fa output. https://github.com/adsbxchange/adsb-exchange No grafana dash via script method.
There is not. I don't have one to test. Grafana dashboard requires a lot of setup and prevention of thrashing the SD card. You can certainly replace the Grafana on Buster with a Grafana compiled for the older armh architecture of the Pi 2. ADSBx is not FlightAware. FlightAware thanks you for making them millions of dollars and giving absolutely nothing back top the community. But at least you get a fake enterprise dashboard.
i really like the Dashboard of grafana. so i need to install the image for ADSBx and the remove the Grafana installation and reinstall it? is there a tutorial for that ? The only reason i used flightAware is i liked the map output. I dont care avout feeding Flight aware, i just liked to use the output.
There's a lot of stuff that won't work on a Pi 2. dump1090-exporter will need recompiled grafana will need removed and recompiled prometheus probably as well. Just off the top of my head. I don't have one to do it and I really don't have the time to support it. Sorry you won't support ADSBx without a dashboard. FlightAware thanks you for making them lot's of money.
I have also PI3 A+ lying around is this any better? The ones i have a lot from is not a PI 1 is a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B V1.2 , but i guess is the same problem like with the PI 1 i will try to put the script on one of the setups and see if this works at laest
You could try it on a Pi 2. I think Pi 2 is armv7, same as the Pi 3B. https://www.adsbexchange.com/how-to-feed/adsbx-custom-pi-image/ I know for sure it doesn't work out of the box on a Zero W / Zero, which is a Pi 1.
The Raspberry Pi 2 V1.2 was upgraded to a Broadcom BCM2837 SoC with a 1.2 GHz 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor, the same SoC which is used on the Raspberry Pi 3, but underclocked (by default) to the same 900 MHz CPU clock speed as the V1.1. The BCM2836 SoC is no longer in production as of late 2016. So it might depend on the age of your Pi 2. You said it's Pi 2 v1.2, so that image should work since SoC is the same as on the Pi 3.
seems to work apart from grafana Data incoming from: 80.31.210.26 Route: beast_front Port: 30005 Backend: beast_back Connected: merge-4-1 Age: 26m28s
