Bake a Pi

[Gabriel6764]

If I have a orange flight feeder from flight aware. This feeder have some port open like 30005. 30002 and other. Y have my own RPI but I dont have RTL. Can I make dump1090 pull the data from the fa feeder?  And feed to RB fr24 and other?

If I have a orange flight feeder from flight aware. This feeder have some port open like 30005. 30002 and other. Y have my own RPI but I dont have RTL. Can I make dump1090 pull the data from the fa feeder?  And feed to RB fr24 and other?

The dump1090 cannot pull data from source. It can only receive data if a source is on the same pi on which dump1090 is running. Therefore it can NOT pull data from Flightfeeder.


All feeders like RB24, FR24, Planefinder running on a Pi can connect directly to Flightfeeder over local network (LAN) and receive data from Flightfeeder. You dont need dump1090 for this purpose.

All these feeders have default setting to get data from dump1090 running on same Pi,and in their settings they have host= 127.0.0.1

To make them connect to Flightfeeder, simply change host=127.0.0.1 to host=192.168.0.21 (replace 192.168.0.21 by Local IP of your Flightfeeder).

RB24
sudo nano /etc/rbfeeder.ini

In above file use settings shown in red

[client]
network_mode=true

[network]
mode=beast
external_port=30005
external_host=192.168.0.21

(Note:replace 192.18.0.21 by Local IP of Flightfeeder)

.

FR24

sudo nano /etc/fr24feed.ini

In above file use settings shown in red

receiver="avr-tcp"
host="192.168.0.21:30002"

(Note:replace 192.18.0.21 by Local IP of Flightfeeder)

Thanks I will try this. I only need to installs the feeders.

Right.
Feeders are enough to pull data from Flightfeeder, if feeders are configured properly (as shown in my previous post).
No need to install dump1090.

[SoNic67]

I re-installed the rbfeeder on my Pi (that doesn't have dump1090 installed) and tried to connect to two of my network feeders. It doesn't work for some reason:

Success.   Raspberry Pi already associated with this account. See your station at https://www.radarbox.com/stations/EXTRPI000878

This is ridiculous...

(1) Did you use correct IP address of the data source (dump1090-fa on another PI)?

Code: [Select]

sudo nano /etc/rbfeeder.ini

In above file use settings shown in red

[client]
network_mode=true

[network]
mode=beast
external_port=30005
external_host=192.168.0.21

Note:replace 192.18.0.21 by Local IP of other RPi (i.e. data source)


(2) The RB24 server may break connection to save bandwidth if no data is being sent by the receiver.

This can happen if rbfeeder does NOT receive data from dump1090 (on same Pi or on another Pi).

To make sure your RB24 feeder is receiving Data from dump1090, give following commands. If rbfeeder is receiving data from dump1090 (local or on another Pi), it will output that data on ports 32457 (beast format) and 32459 (basestation format) as follows:

[SoNic67]

Yeah, the config file is correct.
The netcat commands that you have given above outputs data on the screen.

I think my connection is refused by radarbox24 servers.

[Runway 31]

No reason for them to refuse a connection, it not in their interest.  Have you contacted [email protected] for advice

I don't know what it is exactly. I'll find out.. hopefully soon.

We have received your request and a ticket has been created.
A support representative will be reviewing your request and will send you a response.

Thank you for your patience.
