    K. Wanted to try it vs. Piaware that I'm feeding everyone with currently. Will be watching for it.

    Yup. Waiting. Have a Pi ZeroW with 1090 antenna waiting to go. Moved away from FR24. Live near Fairford and am missing most departing A/C today.
    Maybe leave the old image up there so at least we could contribute data ?

    Where do I find the image to burn to my SD card?

    So I downloaded the image and I am having problems setting up. I'm not sure what to do next. I have look at other threads and tried piecing the information together. All I have figured out is that this image is for custom feeders and I have never set up an ADS-b feeder before so maybe I am biting off more than I can chew, or it at least seams that way. I have a Raspberry Pi 3B+ with the FlightAware Prostick Plus. My raspberry pi experience has been limited to retro gaming and VPNs so far, or googling how to do basic commands. I'm usually good if i have step by step directions. Originally I was going to set up a piaware with FlightAware, but it was recommended I check out adsbexchange. I then decided to go this route because adsbexchange does not filter information.

    I would like to have my Raspberry Pi run headless using wifi. I can't seam to get it online. After loading the image, creating the file for the wifi, and setting up the adsb config file. I boot up pi for the first time plug into my tv with a keyboard so i can see whats going on and if needed finish setup, because i was going to try going to raspi config to change the wifi to 5G. Once the pi boots up it gets stuck in a loop and never connects to my wifi. I have even logged into my router and looked for its IP address and it is not connected. I have tried this with both the receiver plugged in and not plugged in. Attached is a copy of the config file and the error loop I am seeing. what am I missing?

    You shouldn't be creating an extra file for WiFi, the adsb config file takes care of that. (as indicated that it wants wifi and wifi password information).
    I would suspect setting up wpa_supplicant.conf could confuse the image.
    (i'd only use the adsbconfig)

    Also leave the key management setting on WPA
    (it autodetects version 2)

    Edit: Just checked, using WPA2 as key_mgmt produces an error.
    Just use WPA or WPA-PSK (both should work).

    Thank you. I got it connected and i have logged in via ssh.

    How do i get to the dash board and the maps?
    Also do i still need to run the command below that was part of the original post?,

    If so i keep getting an error when i try to run it, "dd: failed to open '/location/of/image.img': No such file or directory

    That is for writing the image to the sd-card in linux.

    Just put the IP-address into your browser.
    Use this command:

    ip route

    The IP-address after src near the end of the line should be the correct one.

    Image doesn't actually use KEY_MGMT ... Wifi is smart enough to auto detect ... thus only there for posterity .. not sure why "WPA2" would cause an error ... that add ... something bash related

    If you are trying to connect it to 5Ghz .. then we need to set country ...


    add ..

    sudo iw reg set US

    to .. adsbexchange-wifi.sh

    thus .. whole file not included
    Code:
    if [ $ENABLE_WIFI = 'yes' ]; then
            rfkill unblock wifi
            sudo iw reg set US
            #touch /boot/wifi
            #killall -HUP wpa_supplicant
            rm -f /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
            wpa_cli terminate
            sleep 2
    
    

    or set using

    sudo raspi-config

    https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/raspi-config.md

    Or make sure your WiFi settings are correct ... It can't get to the outside world ...



    This is solely a B+ 5Ghz issue as Raspbian started to force you to set country code since there are different power rules for 5Ghz in different countries ..

    They disable the 5Ghz Wifi if country code is not set.

    located in

    /home/pi/adsbexchange-wifi.sh

    Only accessible from terminal or linux machine ... problem is it's going to keep writing out to STDOUT ...

    Easiest way to do this will be to hard wire it using Ethernet temporarily ... this will keep it from barking out errors to STDOUT

    Then edit, and make sure Wifi works ...

    Hello there,

    I am using your image (v1.28) on a Raspberry Pi3+ for 10 days now and it is running stable so far. I feed ADSBX of course (!) and FA.
    Thanks for your work on this!

    I was curious why the image still uses the outdated version of dump1090 (mutability). Do you plan to use a forked and maintained version of dump 1090?

    blue skies ;)

    It used to be maintained until FlightAware shutdown the development in favor of the garbage that is dump1090-fa.

    But yes ... feel free to install whatever you want and launch it by editing the adsbexchange-dump1090.sh

    I have no real need to change anything right now. It is running fine and as long as ADSBX has no hassle with it I will use it like it is. I just have some clues about software development and so I have looked a little under the hood. I recognized that there is quite some rivalry in the ADSB scene. I know ADSBX a long time and liked the approach to create a community first instead of a business. Would like to see you grow and participate from ideas and applications around your ecosystem which is a enabler for a lot of ideas I think.
