New Feeder

Hey all, new feeder here in sunny Tallahassee, FL. I think Im all set up with hardware, am seeing planes in Grafana, but how do I know its getting to ADSBx?

 

Same here, Gainesville (hey Neighbor!) FL how do we know we are feeding correctly? I see my feed listed on the MLAT page but no icon in my location.

By default the ADSBx custom image here: https://www.adsbexchange.com/forum/threads/new-adsbexchange-base-image-v1-0.618988/

Has privacy set to yes in the /boot/adsb-config.txt - this makes map dot hidden.

I see the Gainsville Pi connected to ZeroTier - you are feeding!

 

I just downloaded 3.6.3 from FlightAware website.

http://piaware.flightcdn.com/piaware-sd-card-3.6.3.img.zip

Burned it to SD using etcher.io and plugged it all in.

FA default login is:

pi
flightaware

Then over ssh I did

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

then installed git and ran the setup script

Code:

sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/adsbxchange/adsb-exchange.git
cd adsb-exchange
chmod +x setup.sh
sudo ./setup.sh

Then I rebooted .. netcat and mlat both started

I didn't try it without updating the Pi to latest first

My guess (based on initial reports) is that initial FA image has rc.local disabled. This may or may not have been intentional.

Beware Flight Aware has overridden Raspbian software repositories in 3.6.3, so they now control what software you can install and what is available version wise.


It is currently feeding customfeed AZ-Pi

Thanks. It was set to not private. I guess it just took some time. I see my dot now.
