    You can feed ADS-B using their newest firmware and just select it in the webinterface.

    Otherwise you'll need SSH access to the radarcape or another Linux / Raspberry Pi on the same network.

    You install the feed scripts:
    https://github.com/adsbxchange/adsb-exchange#obtaining-and-using-the-scripts

    To edit the feed script configuration, use the following command:
    sudo nano /etc/default/adsbexchange


    INPUT="127.0.0.1:30005"
    change to:
    INPUT="127.0.0.1:10003"
    and
    INPUT_TYPE="dump1090"
    change to:
    INPUT_TYPE="radarcape_gps"


    Save: Ctrl-O and Enter and exit: Ctrl-X

    In case you are using a computer other than the Radarcape itself, you'll need to change the IP address after INPUT to the appropriate address.
