    Though I searched and read ... couldn't find a simple answer to the question from title.
    I'm going to upgrade an old pi2 running a combination of code to a pi3 and wonder if I could inverse the usual, install FA and then add code for others

    Is it possible to start with the adsbX image and add code to feed other systems without breaking the image ? If yes, can a gentle person point my nose where there is a tuto or explication what steps to follow.

    Thanks for all the work

    It is possible, run adsbx image and then install other feeders. FA - install piaware only, no dump1090-fa, FR24 - let client use existing decoder (readsb) data format beast-tcp, port 30005

    thanks for your return, configuring but not yet actively used so no data yet.

    I was able to install FA next to it but I'm struggling a bit with config file

    this is what I have but not so sure it will work, can you please double check if the part regarding using dump is correct please ??

    Looks good, it uses beast data from existing decoder.

    well all seems up and running, ADSB-X, FA and FR24 ... looks all nice and tidy, love the Grafana integration. Time to go see where to set the gain optimal again ..
    thanks for the help

    If I can abuse a bit more from your time

    On "other" platform you could use some script to find an optimal gain or a command that could give you some return ... is there something similar for adsb-x or is it pure db reading and manual tweaking ???


    also on my local map I miss the image and plane types ... something I missed or is this the 'extra' online map only ?? exemple below
