    Needed to have specified the map locations in dump1090

    re run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure dump1090-mutability
    if running mutability and specify map locations

    --lat <latitude> Reference/receiver latitude for surface posn (opt)
    --lon <longitude> Reference/receiver longitude for surface posn (opt)

    I was able to install everything without any issue and I am able to access google map at ip:8080.

    Whenever I click "Reset map" it resets the view to Europe. Is there a way to center the map over my actual location?

    thanks

    You would still need to follow the steps to configure device and location etc. No avoiding that. But prior to the installer script it was fully manual. Add repository keys, apt-get update a number of apps and addons before compiling and installing

    Got a link to the instructions you followed incase there was one I missed?

    Well sorry - I'm a newbie, I noticed nothing, I just started from the beginning of the "procedure" and worked my way through the steps, was that unnecessary if I'd had used the script installer?

    Very confusing that you can find 3 different guides on FR24, and they don't seem to care
    Yes, quite confusing indeed - so will that install rutine also install drivers for the rtl-sdr DVB-T??

    But I just discovered that the step 3 isn't good.
    You need to use this instead : http://forum.flightradar24.com/threa...r-Raspberry-Pi

    I keep hitting the problem described in the end of step 2.
    I made the blacklist but still it keeps giving the error, is this normal or should I proceed?


    After redoing steps 2 and 3 I got it working
    Good job congratulations 🎊

    What you need is 3 components as follows:
    1- An operating system like Raspbian.
    2- A decoder software like Dump1090
    3- A Data Feeding software.

    OPTION A:
    You can install each component separately in three (3) steps shown below.

    OPTION B:
    An easier option is to install PiAware image from FlightAware. PiAware is a complete package containing all above three components in one image file, but its Data Feeder is for Flight Aware only. To feed FR24, you will have to install FR24 data feeder (step 3 below) after installing PiAware image.

    I have prepared two 8 GB microSD cards, one with option A, and other with option B, and both work ok.


    STEP 1- Install Raspbian Wheezy on microSD Card
    Download Raspbian (Debian Wheezy) on your Desktop/Laptop from Raspberry Pi's Official Website http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/. Scroll down the page to find Raspbian Wheezy.

    After download follow instructions on this page http://www.raspberrypi.org/documenta...ages/README.md.

    You will need a TV/monitor, mouse & keyboard for first install. Select GUI option (Graphical User Interface like windows) when configuration starts at the end of install.

    Alternatively, instead of downloading Raspbian Wheezy from above noted page, you may download NOOBS from the same page, and choose option Raspbian during installation of NOOBS. Instruction for Installation of NOOBS are here http://www.raspberrypi.org/help/noobs-setup/



    STEP 2- Install rtl-sdr Drivers and Decoder Dump1090
    This requires using console of Raspbian Wheezy. You can visit these two sites for instructions:
    https://ferrancasanovas.wordpress.co...-installation/

    http://www.satsignal.eu/raspberry-pi/dump1090.html

    I will list the console commands here which I got from these sites:

    2a- Install updates, upgrades and tools
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get upgrade
    sudo apt-get install git-core
    sudo apt-get install git 
    sudo apt-get install cmake
    sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
    sudo apt-get install build-essential
    2b- Install RTL-SDR Drivers
    Code:
    git  clone  git://git.osmocom.org/rtl-sdr.git
    cd  rtl-sdr
    mkdir  build
    cd  build
    cmake  ../ -DINSTALL_UDEV_RULES=ON
    make
    sudo  make  install
    sudo  ldconfig
    2c- Install dump1090 (Please see post # 3 below before proceeding)
    Code:
    cd ~
    sudo  cp  ./rtl-sdr/rtl-sdr.rules  /etc/udev/rules.d/
    sudo  reboot
    cd  ~ 
    git  clone  git://github.com/MalcolmRobb/dump1090.git
    cd  dump1090
    make
    ./dump1090 --interactive --net --net-http-port 8080
    You may get following error message;
    Code:
    Kernel driver is active, or device is claimed by second instance
    In the first case, please either detach or [B]blacklist[/B] the kernel
    (dvb_usb_rtl28xxu), or enable automatic detaching at compile tim
    
    usb_claim_interface error -6
    Error opening the RTLSDR device: Device or resource busy
    To solve this problem you have to create a blacklist file as follows:
    Code:
    cd  /etc/modprobe.d
    sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/rtl-sdr-blacklist.conf
    This will create & open the blacklist file rtl-sdr-blacklist.conf
    type following lines in this file & save the file.
    Code:
    blacklist dvb_usb_rtl28xxu
    blacklist e4000
    blacklist rtl2832
    To enable display of planes on Google Map in a Browser, give following command in console:
    Code:
    cd dump1090
    ./dump1090 --interactive --net --net-http-port 8080


    STEP 3- Installation of FR24 Data feeder :
    (Source: http://forum.flightradar24.com/threa...-BETA-testing-)

    Type following command in your console:
    Code:
    sudo wget http://feed.flightradar24.com/raspberry-pi/fr24feed_1.0.12-3_armhf.deb
    This will download .deb installation file in Downloads folder of your RPi.
    install the data feeding software using following console command:

    Code:
    sudo dpkg -i fr24feed_1.0.12-3_armhf.deb
    If this is the first time you’re going to share data with FR24, use the command below:
    Code:
    sudo fr24feed --signup
    If you have already obtained a a data sharing key from FR24, or are already sharing data with FR24 from another computer and want to now feed from RPi instead, use the same sharing key you already have, and start the configuration process by executing:
    Code:
    sudo fr24feed --reconfigure --fr24key=YOUR SHARING KEY
    Complete the configuration wizard. When asked for additioal arguments for dump1090, enter following:
    Code:
    --net --net-http-port 8080
    Now start sharing your data by typing:
    Code:
    sudo service fr24feed restart
    Now run the command:
    Code:
    service fr24feed status
    You will see following "Fail, Receiver down" (last line)
    Code:
    pi@piaware ~ $ service fr24feed status
    [ [COLOR="#008800"][b]ok[/b][/color] ] FR24 Feeder/Decoder Process: running.
    [ [COLOR="#008800"][b]ok[/b][/color] ] FR24 Stats Timestamp: 2015-01-21 17:46:02.
    [ [COLOR="#008800"][b]ok[/b][/color] ] FR24 Link: connected [UDP].
    [ [COLOR="#008800"][b]ok[/b][/color] ] FR24 Radar: T-CYYZ9.
    [ [COLOR="#008800"][b]ok[/b][/color] ] FR24 Tracked AC:.
    [[COLOR="#FF0000"][B]FAIL[/B][/COLOR]] Receiver: down ... [COLOR="#FF0000"][B]failed[/B][/COLOR]!
    Then follow steps shown in the screenshots below:

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]5753[/ATTACH] . [ATTACH=CONFIG]5754[/ATTACH] . [ATTACH=CONFIG]5755[/ATTACH]

    Now again run the command "service fr24feed status",
    Now the message:
    [FAIL] Receiver: down ... failed!
    will be replaced by:
    [ ok ] Receiver: connected (xxx MSGS/0 SYNC).


    During the next system restart FR24 decoder/feeder will start automatically.

    Download Guide (pdf) from here: http://feed.flightradar24.com/fr24feed-manual.pdf

    GOOD LUCK!!!!
    Man you save my life, afthe 1 day tryng make my PI works, i found this topic, really 192.168.0.x:5784/settings.html this make a difference....... this topic must be merged on flightradar24 install notes for RPI, maybe new users need them.
    Really thanks for that.

    Cheers

    Thank you very much for such a detailed and well explained procedure, I was able to set-up everything very quickly!
