A while ago I saw values there i believe, otherwise all ok.

Ok, thanks for that info.

Ok, I'm now uploading data to FR24 thru my RasPi and I see stats for aircraft and positions but "Current upload rate" shows "0 KB/s".
Is this normal?

abcd567, I just want to thank you so much for the info to set up FR24 Feed with piaware. I've been going crazy trying to find a way to get that to work.
Your info made it so easy. I followed your instructions and it worked with no problems at all. Thanks again.

OPTION 2: Raspbian Image
MOST FLEXIBLE. Suitable if other Apps are also run on the Pi.
The Decoder of user's choice installed by user (dump1090-mutability ver 1.15~dev OR dump1090-fa).
The FR24 data feeder installed by user.

CAUTION: Do NOT use "Receiver DVBT". Must be configured for "Receiver Beast (TCP)", "Host/port 127.0.0.1:30005".


(1) Download on your computer Raspbian image from Raspberry Pi foundation site, and write the downloaded image to your microSD card.

Download and installation instructions are here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads

Direct download link for latest Raspbian Light image (recomended):

https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_lite_latest

(2) Enable SSH: While the microSD card is still in the card reader of your Laptop/Desktop, in File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac) click on drive letter of the microSD card (labelled boot) to open it. It will open folder /boot which has many files & few folders. In the folder /boot, create a new text file and name it ssh.

(3) Slip out microSD card from card reader, slip into RPi and power-up.

(4) Access and control RPi.
You can access Pi and issue commands by any one of the following two methods:

• Connect a Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse to your RPi.
• Use SSH

The use of SSH enables you to issue commands from your Desktop/Laptop and eliminates the need to connect a Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse to your RPi.

For Remote access and SSH, please see following posts:

- How To Access and Control RPi from Desktop/Laptop using SSH

- IP Address Finders

(5) This image does not have a decoder. You have to first install a decoder of your choice such as dump1090-mutability v 1.15~dev, or dump1090-fa, ModeSDeco2 etc.

• If you want to install dump1090-mutability ver 1.15~dev, follow instructions on the page:
  How to Install dump1090-mutability_1.15~dev on RPi
• If you want to install dump1090-fa, follow instructions on the page:
  https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/install

(6) After installation of a decoder, install fr24feed. Scroll down to see the guide at the end of this post.



OPTION 3: Piaware Image
Easy, plug-n-play.
This image has integral dump1090-fa and Flightaware data feeder.
The FR24 data feeder should be installed by user.

CAUTION: Do NOT use "Receiver DVBT". Must be configured "Receiver Beast (TCP)", "Host/port 127.0.0.1:30005".


(1) Download PiAware image from FlightAware on your computer, and write the downloaded image to your microSD card.

This image has dump1090-fa + Flightaware data feeder pre-installed.

Download and installation instructions are here: http://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/build
This image contains operating system Raspbian, dump1090 and Flightaware data feeder.

(2) Enable SSH: While the microSD card is still in the card reader of your Laptop/Desktop, in File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac) click on drive letter of the microSD card (labelled boot) to open it. It will open folder /boot which has many files & few folders. In the folder /boot, create a new text file and name it ssh.

(3) Slip out microSD card from card reader, slip into RPi and power-up.

(4) Access and control RPi.
You can access Pi and issue commands by any one of the following two methods:

• Connect a Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse to your RPi.
• Use SSH

(5) Install fr24feed as shown below.





Installation of FR24 Data Feeder:

(1) SSH into your Raspberry Pi and execute this command to install FR24 data feeder:

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

(2) When the above script completes installation, it will automatically start signup. This will require you to enter your details (email, sharing key, latitude, longitude, antenna height etc)
