    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

    No, didn't work
    The first script just said "1:sh:: No such file or directory" bash : line 1 command not found

    The alternative script below was OK up until it asked for a login/password ?

    You don't have bash installed?
    That image you are using seems really strange.
    Maybe the sd-card isn't quite working anymore?

    You can try the adsbexchange image if you want to.
    Data will be available in beast format on 30005 and AVR/raw format on 30002 if i'm not mistaken.

    Installed the ADSBX image...
    Seems to work fine (with the obvious exception of Grafana dash)
    And I can link my other stuff on port 30005 :)
    All good !
