Raspberry Pi:How To Install Raspian OS + Dump1090 + FR24 Data Feeder

[abcd567]

I thought that was this in first place, i'm using the original Apple charger with 1A current! It's not enough? Which one you use?

1A is too small for Pi + Pro Stick.
I use 3A (3000 mA) power supply.

My software
1) Raspbian Jessie Light from Rapberry foundation:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/

2) dump1090-mutability ver 1.15~dev, manual install as per instructions in this thread:

http://forum.flightradar24.com/threads/10232-How-to-Install-dump1090-mutability_1-15-dev-on-RPi

3) FR24 feeder:
Installed using following command in SSH terminal:

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

The above method for installing fr24 feeder is given on this page:

Yes, I do have ProStick. Due to 2mm wide platic collar over metallic part, it did not insert fully into Pi and hence did not make proper contact.

I cut the plastic collar off with a sharp knife. As a result, additional 2mm were inserted into Pi, and it started working ok. See images below.

I tried here, but, as you can see in the photo, fits good and outside of the USB even with the collar! So, I dont think that is this! Which version of the OS are you using? Mine are the "fr24-raspberry-pi- 1.0.18-5" with the DUMP1090-Mutability!

Try xxx.xxx.x.xxx/dump1090/gmap.html

Also try
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dump1090-mutability

This will open a settings dialog. When you reach where it asks "bind to address" and default value is 127.0.0.1, remove this value and leave it blank.

Hey, thank you for your always fast answers abcd567! I did, but nothing! I changed the ProStick for the old ISDB-T Dongle and guess what? Now its working! So, there some issue between the DUMP1090 and the ProStick! Any ideas? Do you have the ProStick? Thank you!


EDIT:
I tried again in my other Raspberry Pi (T-SBCT6), same problem! With the TV Dongle works fine, but if I change for the ProStick, DUMP1090 stop "running" and change for "exited"! Also tried with the PiAware, i think that worked, but I could not find the command to see the status of the DUMP1090!

Hey everyone! So, this week arrived for me the ProStick from FlightAware that they sent me for free, today I installed him in my Rpi system (T-SBCT5) and, after install the hardware part, I decided to do a new and clean instalation of the system. So I took off the SD card, donwload the Raspbian Jessie and install again. The problem is, I did the manual setup (as always) using the DUMP1090 mutability, and, after the configuration of the dump, when i ask for the Status, i receive the message "Active (Exited)" and not "Active(Running)" as was! And the system is not working! Like, if i got to the xxx.xxx.x.xxx:8080 says that "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED"! Any ideas?

As long as its live, set your feeder config to AVR(TCP) and localhost:30002 (assuming the default raw out on 30002 is active) not DVBT or similar itll go.

That sorted it thanks oblivian

Ran the script and its installed but having issues I think with the port as its not showing any aircraft.

I have the Malcolm Robb version of Dump and currently feed adsbexchange and 360radar which work fine.

My system is working trouble free.

I first installed Raspian Jessi Lite.

Then manually installed dump1090-mutability.

Then manually installed following data feeders:

1. Flightradar24 data feeder by following bash command:
   sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - http://repo.feed.flightradar24.com/install_fr24_rpi.sh)"
   
   Since I have already installed dump1090-mutability, the Flightradar24 bash script found it and did not install fr24 version of dump1090. It installed only the data feeder.
   
   
2. Flightaware data feeder as per instructions on their site.
   
   
3. Planefinder data feeder as per instructions on their site.

The version of dump1090 I installed is dump1090-mutability v1.15~dev due to its enhanced functionality, compared to the vanila dump1090 (Malcom Robson).

Recently I have posted the step by step method to install dump1090-mutability v1.15~dev here:

I previously had issues with fr24 and.their version dump1090 not playing nicely with other sites. I have since wiped my Pi and reinstalled dump1090 manually. If I do the scripted setup with it install dump1090 again or just the.client.

Not entirely sure. It puts them into different folders, and its able to find if you gave FAs install and use dump1090 running. So I would like to think so.

Give it a shot, its only a matter of adjusting the commandline in the config page to the running 1090 port if it tries to load it instead

[andrewh_85]

The step by step is now kind of defunct. There is an automated script that does the work for you

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

Thanks for pointing out. Updated the method today (May 20, 2016). Please see the first post on page 1.

The long method is still valid for anyone wanting to customise the Dump1090 edition. I think the packaged script is still their modified code version of -MR by default. But it does support a normal edition too if installed separately

[alex_mason]

Yes.

And it makes no difference. Both are aware of each other during setup

Thanks, will try it out when my Pi arrives from China :-)
