ADS-B via Dump1090

Also sending to FlightRadar24, attached. FR24 installs easily on a PiAware installation - it’s seamless.

DO IT!

Raspberry Pi Configuration

This is the base configuration program to use for say expanding the disk or waiting for network before booting, etc…
```
sudo raspi-config
```

Some interesting dumps in linux. I could not get the windows version of this program to see the device correctly.

Dump1090

https://www.ab9il.net/software-defined-radio/dump1090-linux.html ← good information

In linux this worked fine

Update
```
sudo apt-get update
```
To build dump1090

sudo apt-get install git cmake libusb-1.0-0.dev build-essential
sudo apt-get install build-essential debhelper librtlsdr-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev pkg-config tcl8.5-dev autoconf python3-dev python-virtualenv libz-dev git tclx8.4 tcllib tcl-tls itcl3

grab the repository

git clone git://github.com/MalcolmRobb/dump1090.git

Compile
```
cd dump1090
make
```
Remove these modules
```
    sudo rmmod dvb_usb_rtl28xxu
```
To run
- Live feed: (i didn't udev rules so had to run as sudo, but that's fine)
```
sudo ./dump1090 --interactive
```
- Network real time map! (Unlike the Windows software, it can plot planes on a builtin http interface using Google Maps)
```
sudo ./dump1090 --enable-agc --aggressive --net --net-http-port 8080
```

Flightaware Dongle

Add this to the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
```
blacklist dvb_usb_rtl28xxu
```

Use this command line for the actual dongle from Flightaware

sudo ./dump1090 --aggressive --net --net-http-port 8080 --gain 45 --quiet

Then open your browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8080 to watch planes fly above you.

Running Piaware in Ubuntu

Found this link here http://pastebin.com/eKbm118F originally pointed to here http://discussions.flightaware.com/ads-b-flight-tracking-f21/installing-piaware-on-ubuntu-t19244.html (good old google, found it quick)

Into home directory and clone the software we need

git clone https://github.com/flightaware/dump1090_mr.git

FAILS. This is a losing battle, they are relying on the Pi… don't fight it, just buy another Pi (-8
