Hi
I have a Mode S Beast with external antenna, connected to my Widows computer and feeding FR24. Have had for years, with the occasional break.
I'm wanting to change my setup to use a spare Raspberry Pi that I have hanging around. This is because the Windows feed for FR24 is being depricated. I would also like to keep MLAT available.
I have done a fair bit of reading around the FR24 website including this forum, but have struggled a bit because much of the information is about connecting via a SDR rather than via a Mode-S Beast. Some stuff about connecting via the Mode-S Beast on the Raspberry Pi seems quite old.
I suspect I have missed something somewhere that explains what to do in comparative laypersons terms. I'm not a complete layperson because I am relatively familiar with Linux and have played with my Pi in previous years, but I have no idea whatsoever how to interface the Mode S Beast to the Pi for feeding FR24.
If there is such guidance that I've missed, I'd be very grateful to anybody who can point me to it please? .
Or if not, some pointers would be great.
Thank you!
