feed flightradar24 and planefinder.net with one Raspberry Pi

Monday, May 23rd, 2016

First I installed fr24feed, which looks like a modified dump1090.


root@raspberrypi:/etc# cat fr24feed.ini
receiver="dvbt"
fr24key="XXXXXXXXXXXX"
path="/usr/lib/fr24/dump1090"
bs="yes"
raw="yes"
logmode="0"
mlat="yes"
mlat-without-gps="yes"

root@raspberrypi:/etc# service fr24feed status
[ ok ] FR24 Feeder/Decoder Process: running.
[ ok ] FR24 Stats Timestamp: 2016-05-22 22:52:07.
[ ok ] FR24 Link: connected [UDP].
[ ok ] FR24 Radar: T-XXXXX.
[ ok ] FR24 Tracked AC: 1.
[ ok ] Receiver: connected (1504210 MSGS/0 SYNC).
[ ok ] FR24 MLAT: ok [UDP].
[ ok ] FR24 MLAT AC seen: 0.

Then I installed pfclient

wget http://client.planefinder.net/pfclient_3.4.30_armhf.deb
dpkg -i pfclient_3.4.30_armhf.deb

…and configured it via the Web interface:
http://192.168.1.101:30053
Data Format: AVR-TCP
IP: localhost
port: 30002

Similar to dump1090 pfclient has a nice web-GUI with various views.

Then I installed piaware, which had some (tcl) dependencies:

wget http://de.flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/files/piaware_2.1-5_armhf.deb
dpkg -i piaware_2.1-5_armhf.deb
apt-get install -fy

I did not try piaware, because I don’t have a Flightaware accout yet.
