Does anyone have a step by step for using Mac Terminal in place of putty? Is there a Mac OS alternative? I haven't been successful connecting to my ADSBX-Custom Pi from terminal even though it seems like it should work? Thanks Mark
Marcin, Still having issues with the WiFi setup - I enter the info in the config file. Log-in splash screen still tells me WiFi disabled -haven't set my country code? When I run raspi-config and go to network setup WiFi screen it says "could not communicate with wpa-supplicant" My home router is running WPA2-Personal and is the gateway at 192.168.0.1 (not very origional) Wired ethernet seems to work perfectly and is connected directly to the same router. I could configure for 2.4 or 5.8ghz but I think 2.4 would have better transmission through the walls to the mast outside? Thanks
Try to put on boot partition file: wpasupplicant.conf , example content below: Code: country=US ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev update_config=1 network={ ssid="myssid" scan_ssid=1 psk="password" key_mgmt=WPA-PSK } Replace myssid and password with yours. Or edit file manually Code: sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Umm .. so that image takes a little work to get 5Ghz or WifI running sometimes. thanks to Raspbian and WiFi laws/standards stupidity with the Pi 3B+. You really shouldn't put it on 5Ghz unless absolutely necessary since 5Ghz range is very low compared to 2.4Ghz. In /home/pi/adsbexhange-wifi.sh edit it and add your country code. Next image supports this in the config file -- it was not needed in the 3B images .. something I missed thanks to Raspbian 3B+ poor documentation on it. Change Code: echo -e 'ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev\n\nnetwork={\n scan_ssid=1\n ssid="'${WIFI_SSID}'"\n psk="'${WIFI_PASSWORD}'"\n }' >> /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf to Code: echo -e 'country=US\nctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev\nupdate-config=1\n\nnetwork={\n scan_ssid=1\n ssid="'${WIFI_SSID}'"\n psk="'${WIFI_PASSWORD}'"\n }' >> /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf If that's too hard ... let me know when it's on ethernet and I can do it remotely maybe over ZeroTier All you are doing is adding.. country=US\n to that echo -e 'country=US\n .... blah blah blah Then save it and reboot .. as long as you've got WiFi setup in the config .. it should work
James - Thanks for the individual attention! I was beginning to feel really computer stupid - every time I messed with a config script or added a line, I would break the image in some way and have to re-flash the card to get running again. Now that I understand the smart quotes issue (Mac text edit defaults to unicode and smart quotes) I have turned them off and am beginning to feel literate again. My wife, who does a lot of design and has done a lot of print work found it LOL level funny that I DIDN'T know about smart quotes and was crashing things... I agree that 2.4 is more generally reliable and am going to start working on my own version of the "Franken Feeder" ans see where I get! Thanks Mark
A lot of if is pretty simple .. Start with Raspbian lite (https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/) get one of the forks of dump1090 working pick what feeders to use use bash loops or systemd to keep them reliable for ADSBx, use the github scripts (https://github.com/adsbxchange/adsb-exchange)
OK - learning lots - Questions; I see planes on global radar that do not appear on my local map from the Pi - but they are very local and I would think that they should show? On the dashboard. the data sent and received indicator don't indicate anything - just stay at zero (possibly associated with first item?) NOT using smart quotes works a LOT better in my script files! Thanks Mark
You have to change the Data for either wireless or wired. Login as admin ... admin / admin It's been explained elsewhere on the forum. As for the planes .. hard to say .. we aggregate thousands of feeds ..
