I am a new piaware user as of today. I am a beginner with ADSB, but experienced with computers. I noticed a problem following the instructions on the beginners section of the “How to Feed” page. I downloaded and installed ADSBexchange-img-1.2.zip per the directions. When done, I could not claim my site on Flight Aware. It wasn’t obvious why not. I looked in the log file /var/log/piaware.log and saw this: Nov 28 14:24:02 piaware piaware[798]: LOGIN FAILED: status 'error': reason 'creation of n ew feeder sites requires a newer PiAware client that supports feeder IDs, please upgrade PiAware and try again' So, the problem is that piAware 3.1.0 is not new enough for new sites. (It may be okay for existing sites, apparently.) And the ADSBexchange image 1.2 is based on piAware 3.1.0. To fix this, after the Pi had booted from the 1.2 image, I did the command: sudo apt-get install piaware This updates the piaware package. This process had a couple of conflicts between config files. In particular, I had to re-edit my WiFi configuration info into piaware-config.txt, although you might get away with keeping your original config file. Once that was done, I did: sudo reboot When it came back up, I was able to complete the claim process in a few minutes.
It kind of doesn't matter what the newest version is. The point is that the version distributed by ADSBexchange is out of date.
Marcin, I'm a complete newbie too. I've been following the thread about the new image you're working on - will that be the solution to this problem too? thanks Dave
Dave I will use ADSB-Receiver on Jessie Lite. It should install actual versions of selected components. In the meantime you can try to do everything step by step: https://forum.flightradar24.com/threads/10232-How-to-Install-dump1090-mutability_1-15-dev-on-RPi Marcin
