Have been feeding to all the usual places for about a year now - all good.
I’m now sending a receiver “kit” (made up from my old spares), to the other end of the country (Yorkshire → Isle of Wight).
What I’d like to achieve:
Claim this new, remote receiver as a “second reliever” on my own FA account, counting towards my stats etc.
Now, the main issue when I look at this last time was that this station is using a Pi Zero…
As the Zero has to use a dongle to get full size USB and RJ45 (network cable), the “cheapy chinese” micro-USB → full size USB + RJ45 had a non-unique MAC address, and was showing up as another user, somewhere in central europe as far as I recall!
So, with the station being the other end of the country - remotely working with my freind to set it up down there, whats the best way to set it up?
Do I set it up with my user creds, or it’s own, new account? Can I claim it later?
Does FA still use Mac Address to define / ID unique stations?
The Zero already has ADSBReceiever.net image running on it, and it does work as a “standalone” receiver - doing all the usual - the only issue was claiming it?
Once networking is up and running, I’ll set it with a public IP etc so I can manage it remotely…
You could use your second receiver to feed your primary dump1090 and then feed FA with the combined results. For FA, it would looks like you have a single receiver.
Ok - had a look at the Github for pA, I have “nosed around” it GH repo’s before, but not particular familliar…
I guess im looking for the 3.2.0 branch - couldnt find it?
Would piaware_builder build that version?
The only 'nix box I have is my live pA box, can I build on that then “export” the made image etc?
Kinda get the idea, but never built anything like this before…
Dont suppose someone could build me a copy of 3.2.0, and share it?
for about a year now - all good.
