1- What are the steps in config that I should do?
2- Will both feed will be dispayed on the same web page?

Option-1: If you have piaware SD Card image, please follow these steps :

Note: Since 978 is used only in USA, Steps 5 & 6 below do not apply to receivers outside USA.

5 - Serialize dongles if using UAT 978: (CLICK HERE)

If you want to recieve both ES1090 and UAT978, then two dongles are required, one for 1090 and other for 978. In this case you will have to serialize dongles so that correct dongle+antenna sets are used by dump1090-fa and dump978-fa.

For 1090 Mhz dongle: use serial # 00001090
For 978 Mhz dongle : use serial # 00000978

Note: You can use any other serial numbers if you want, but do not use single digit serial numbers (0 to 9) or (01 to 09), as these may conflict with device numbers. Use at least two digit numbers like 21 or 93 etc)

6 - Configure UAT 978

sudo piaware-config uat-receiver-type sdr
sudo piaware-config rtlsdr-device-index 00001090
sudo piaware-config uat-sdr-device driver=rtlsdr,serial=00000978

# Reboot Pi to implement configuration settings
sudo reboot

7 - Check Status

sudo systemctl status piaware  
sudo systemctl status dump1090-fa  
sudo systemctl status dump978-fa

(5) Serialize 2 dongles (8 digit numbers): 00001090 & 00000978

How-to Serialize Dongles for ES1090 + UAT978

(6) Configure dump1090-fa and dump978-fa to use respective serialized dongles:

Copy-paste following 2 commands in terminal:

sudo sed -i 's/^RECEIVER_SERIAL=.*/RECEIVER_SERIAL=00001090/' /etc/default/dump1090-fa

 

sudo sed -i 's/driver=rtlsdr[^ ]* /driver=rtlsdr,serial=00000978 /' /etc/default/dump978-fa
