Replacing Raspberry Pi - What should I do?

[112marv]

Hello,
I've been looking for something, but I haven't found anything that fits. I have a Raspberry Pi with Pi24 and a DVB-T stick. I want to replace my existing Raspberry Pi with another one. What do I have to consider?

Thank you very much for your help.

Greetings
Marvin

In a perfect world, transfer the SD card and it will still work as expected.

However a large change in hardware may require the OS be upgraded first.

That said, The Pi24 image instructions do not work on the Pi-4B as it is not yet supported out of box in their setup image. So if this works for that is unknown

Which model is your existing Pi?
Which model is your replacement Pi?

The existing is a 3B+. The new one a Zero W.

Slip out microSD card from 3B+ and slip into Zero W.
Plug-out dongle from 3B+ and plug in into Zero W
Power up.
Most likely you be up and running without doing anything else

Ok that‘s perfect. Thanks a lot.

does fr24 support Pi-4B ?

On the RPi 4 you have to install a normal Raspbian Lite image and then use the install script and it should work.

YES, I have tested both the following on Pi-4B

CASE 1 - Pi24 image:
The latest Pi24 image (pi24-2.2.0.img) is based on Raspbian Buster and works on Pi-4B.

CASE 2 - Raspbian Buster image:
The latest fr24feed (1.0.25-3) installed by following bash script will work on Pi-4B with Raspbian Buster

sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - http://repo.feed.flightradar24.com/install_fr24_rpi.sh)"

Hello guys,

I hope you are doing great. I know this topic was kind of close but now I have a similar situation and I would like to know if at this time there is another way to do the change.
I have a raspberry pi 4b 4GB and I am running PI24, but I want to use another raspberry pi instead of the one that I have, so I have a couple of question.
Can I change the raspberry pi 4B 4GB for a raspberry pi 3B?
Would I lose the information already generated? Like stats?

You can use the existing share key when installing on the new pi.
Not sure that works with the pi24 image .... i do know it works when you start with Raspbian: https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-wi...ADS-B-receiver

If the sd-card is in the pi4 .... you can just put it in the pi3. So you don't have to start fresh though that's always nice.
