It only took 2 years for me to finally get it done. If only those buses full of kittens, puppies, and newborns didn't seem to crash in front of my house and require I go save them EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! I have some questions because I guarantee the answers are not going to be anywhere in this forum, and I'm the first person to EVER ask...... And I'm a little lazy.... And I like to have conversations...... And I'm a little bored!!! 1. I ended up entering and saving the completely wrong password to my WiFi in the wpa_supplicant.conf file of the installed firmware. I didn't realize what I had done until I sat waiting with my router's client list reloading for 10 minutes. See kids, sleep deprivation can have catastrophic consequences on your life! So, I pulled the cover off my little RasPi Zero, and put the MicroSD Card into the reader. And then sat staring at the computer screen, flummoxed by the fact that the wpa_supplicant.conf file had seemed to have been removed by the RasPi Zero once I powered the assembly up. It wasn't anything that a little weeping and a fresh flash couldn't fix. I remember this happening at some point in the past, however at that time I didn't correlate the missing file with having powered up the RasPi. Can someone educate me on the what causes that, why it causes it, and is re-flashing the only fix? 2. Now that I finally decided it was time to stop taking from everyone, and start contributing to the cause, Is ADS-B Exchange similar to the other online flight trackers and result in my account being elevated to some level where I get more access to data or something? This might sound odd, even within the confines of our airplane nerd-lair. But I'm a flight tracking data junkie, and have lost hours....HOURS pouring through datasets with over 2.5 million lines of data. I'm pretty sure the fact that I like doing that is not healthy. Alas, who amongst us doesn't have their vice? .... Not everyone at once! 3. Regardless of whether or not I get some of my Flight Data Smack or not, is there a process for claiming a Feeder to associate it with my account? Do I even have an account for the data pulling portion of the website. I feel like there was at some point in ADSBEx's evolution, but I do have those funny delusions I tell the delusions about..... Thanks yo! Sorry about the silliness. I have orange hair, we're definitely wired different than the rest of the population, and I truly can't not be that way. Won't surprise anyone here that I have found that it's very important that I regularly provide blocks of time where I completely disengage from individuals exposed to my "unique" interpersonal communication style, doing so even my closest friends and family, because everyone has a baked in limit, and I feel obligated to provide them with what I designate "Peter-Free Time". Good talk, I feel like we really push the boundaries of our relationship during this conversation. I feel good about it!
Just recreate the file and put the appropriate stuff in it? No we currently don't even have a user system for the flight tracking page, simplifies things. Anyhow consider yourself upgraded from Basic to Premium, both have the same features but Premium is way cooler. You can have a remote feed map for your viewing and sharing needs, it's linked here after you install the stats thing: https://www.adsbexchange.com/myip If you don't have the stats thing, it's linked on that page as well.
AWESOME!!! I did play around with the myip link, and immediately want to crawl on my 300 degree roof to zip-tie a straightened coat hangar. Yes, the house being tucked into a wooded basin keeps us safe from hurricanes and derechos, but it's killin' me for coverage! That said, I've tried about a dozen 1090MHz antennas, ranging in price from $8.00 to $135.00, and for whatever reason and much to my surprise, the $8.00 vertically polarized passive antenna that looks like a long printed circuit board provided the best coverage than nearly all the others. With respect to those other antenna's which the $8.00 one didn't quite provide superior coverage than, it was basically a wash in terms of coverage, but not with cost! To be fair, these are not being tested against each other in what anyone would consider "ideal mounting conditions", but they were they were all hamstrung by the same obstacles when tested. I would be curious to see if the coverage parities persist if tested in a more appropriate location. You sold the Premium membership benefits I now have access to like a true hustler, and said exactly what I wanted to hear. Being cooler than I was yesterday, whilst not a realistically sustainable strategy, still works for me. I haven't tried to run a query on the ADSBEx flight track data in probably a few years, and I can't remember if I had to be a contributing member of society to do so. Is that open now for all to exploit, to include the undesirable riffraff? Asking for a friend and/ or family member. So I was cool with re-flashing the MicroSD Card when I realized the wpa_supplicant.conf file had decided that my setup didn't rate and just left. I'm not complaining that it happened, I'm genuinely curious what the mechanism which caused it to be deleted is, and if anyone knew if this was something that is baked into the firmware scripts or RaspPi Zero BIOS for some specific reason. Maybe it happens when some idiot enters the wrong password into that file, thus condemning it to death? I'm just curious because I want to be smarter on these little RasPi's to impress them ladies at the pub. ..... .... No, God no, I'm not THAT naïve as to use that as a pickup line. Wait, does that work???? Asking for a friend and/ or family member.
There is history for each plane on the global tracking page. You can also try this replay feature: https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?r The interface isn't quite finished. So the actual location for the wifi settings is a different one, not accessible from windows. On boot, if there is a file in /boot it's moved over and used. But suppose you change the settings via console, you don't want the file in boot to override it on next boot. Thus it's removed from /boot and ifyou want to change the settings you need to make a new file .... templates are available on the internet.
