Help getting feed set up

yessir, now I am in the garage about 18ft high and getting 20 aircraft and a balloon at 209 miles away.. That'll work!

 

Now I am trying to see my range plots on the custom feed, but my google doc hasnt been approved for 51235

 

Another question, how can I view my local data from the RPi without using custom feeds? What port? Like flightaware is 192.169.1.108:8080

 

If you are using dump1090-mutability then simply type localhost/dump1090 or [IP of RaspPi]/dump1090. Otherwise you can install VRS and just direct it to [IP of RaspPi]:30003.

 

One of the problems that I have found is when you set your custom feed up, and then send the email requesting that you be allocated that port, nobody else knows that you have done that. Others are still free to try to log on to 'your' port to set up their own custom feeds because it hasn't been reserved yet, and you cannot get back on to it because somebody else has already connected. You are alright if you can keep your feed up 24hrs a day (as I can) but if you cannot, or maintenance knocks it off again, then everyone is trying to grab a port when the system comes back online. It would be handy if the colour of the receiver changed to, say, green to indicate that someone was trying to reserve that port. Perhaps that would help discourage others from just jumping on it while you are waiting for your email to be processed. It has already happened to me, and I am now waiting for my second email request to be actioned. But the guys are busy so it will probably remain a bit of a free-for-all for the time being.

 

yeah, even the 53xxx port I had customized is being used by someone else...

 

Thanks, I suppose I am not using mutability... that doesn't work

 

I can do that, but since I am so remote from other locations, most aircraft are too low for MLAT on adsbx. There are plenty of FA feeders down here.. I just wanted to look at the local adsbx data to compare to flightaware, and I wanted to set up port forwards to be able to see it from outside my lan.

 

Really appreciate all of the help! It’s working great!!

That case is a big heatsink basically ...

I just used 50FT of low loss and ran it out on the peak. 1090MHZ is line of sight so outdoors is much better. I get 250 NM in PHX on the peak of the house (25' up)

 

The adsbx piaware image is the same as regular piaware. Also those adsbx scripts don't change anything but add a few port directs from the dump1090 traffic - you should be able to go to the IP of the pi same as you would with any piaware image and see the local dump1090 map.

 

James i have the standard raspberry pi plastic cases with a heatsink.
What is your opinion do you think the
Aluminum Raspberry Pi 3 Case
increases the signal strength??
I have learnt a lot of you and appreciate it

 

Aluminum is a non-ferrous material, so I expect it does not make a difference with a plastic box, only it will get hotter than plastic, especially in the sun.

 

Am interested what temperature does members pi run at?

 

Rpi's in my room with a temperature of 19 degrees celsius now:
Rpi 1:

Code:

 sudo /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp
temp=42.8'C

Rpi 2:

Code:

sudo /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp
temp=41.9'C

Joop, the Netherlands, outside temperature 0º celsius
