Raspberry Pi remote GUI

[bruton]

Is there any way to see what my RPI Zero is receiving?
didnt really want to spend money on planeplotter just for testing the PI is working

I have virtual radar running on my windows machine but is it available for RPI?

Just change the address it points to to the Pi IP, and port 30002 (or 30005 depending on enabled options) or add as a second receiver.

If you have a self installed Dump1090 version they also have built in webserver. (see abcs Mutability install thread)

Ok i can see data being created. What about Virtual Radar? How can i install on pi

[Oblivian]

You cant run it *on* the Pi, only view the data it produces on a windows platform.

There is a guide with images in the link I provided...

Answered your own question then

Be wary, that appears to bundle its own copy of Dump1090. Which is when you run into device access conflict errors. And it may end up impacting the CPU/RAM resources with an extra bit of software. Looks to be more a solution to watch local traffic than feed sites with data received too.

Dump1090 can produce a lot of the maps on its own https://forum.flightradar24.com/thre...-15-dev-on-RPi

Im currently running virtual radar on windows machine but it doesnt seem to be putting any data onto its webpage like its not receiving any data

[Oblivian]

Make sure your 'home receiver' settings are correct. If its not the right GPS location it may not happen.

And try to connect in browser to http://ipofpigoeshere:8080 or 30002 or 30005 and you shouldn't get a could not connect error

(1) REPLACE "Address" IN IMAGES BELOW (192.168.2.17 & 192.168.2.27) BY IP ADDRESS OF YOUR PI

(2) The configuration is shown for two RPis (Pi#1 & Pi#2). If you have only one Pi, use configuration for Pi#1 ONLY.

Also, ignore settings for Merge Feed, and Rebroadcast Servers.

It looks like the - was missed on the longitude on receiver. How do i change that

There was no need to reinstall, only repeating signup process, as shown below, was enough.

You should have handy your email, sharing key, current location's latitude & longitude, before starting the signup process.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo fr24feed --signup
..........
..........
Step 1.1 - Enter your email address (username@domain.tld)
$:[COLOR="#FF0000"]xxxxx@yyyyyy.com[/COLOR]

Step 1.2 - If you used to feed FR24 with ADS-B data before enter your sharing key.
If you don't remember your sharing key, pelase use the retrival form:
http://feed.flightradar24.com/forgotten_key.php

Otherwise leave this field empty and continue.
$:[COLOR="#FF0000"]xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx[/COLOR]

Verifying sharing key...OK

Step 1.3 - Would you like to participate in MLAT calculations? (yes/no)$:yes
IMPORTANT: For MLAT calculations the antenna's location should be entered very precise!

Step 3.A - Enter antenna's latitude (DD.DDDD)
$:[COLOR="#FF0000"]xx.xxxx[/COLOR]

Step 3.B - Enter antenna's longitude (DDD.DDDD)
$:[COLOR="#FF0000"]yy.yyyy[/COLOR]
Step 3.C - Enter antenna's altitude above the sea level (in feet)
$:[COLOR="#FF0000"]zzz[/COLOR]

Using latitude: xx.xxxx, longitude: yy.yyyy, altitude: zzzft above sea level

We have detected that you already have a dump1090 instance running. We can therefore automatically configure the FR24 feeder to use existing receiver configuration, or you can manually configure all the parameters.

Would you like to use autoconfig (*yes*/no)$:yes

Step 6A - Please select desired logfile mode:
 0 -  Disabled
 1 -  48 hour, 24h rotation
 2 -  72 hour, 24h rotation
Select logfile mode (0-2)$:0

Step 6B - Please enter desired logfile path (/var/log):
$:/var/log

Submitting form data...OK

Congratulations! You are now registered and ready to share ADS-D data with Flightradar24.
+ Your radar id is T-AAAAAA, please include it in all email communication with us.
+ Please make sure to start sharing data within the next 3 days as otherwise your ID/KEY will be deleted.

Thank you for supporting Flightradar24! We hope that you will enjoy our Premium services that will be available to you when you become an active feeder.

To start sending data now please execute:
sudo service fr24feed start

Saving settings to /etc/fr24feed.ini...OK

I couldnt find that info when i was searching. I only found a post saying you have to reinstall

[Oblivian]

But verify the details when you launch. As some of them are held server side and may need to be corrected too or data may be ignored
