Add LCD to existing piaware

FlightAware ADS-B Flight Tracking

Hi All,
I found this thread (Add LCD to existing piaware 8.2 install) but no conclusions were presented in it.
My old piaware was running on an older RPi3 and it was showing some issues so I decided to rebuild a new one on a RPi 5 I had. I built the new piaware using packages and am wondering if I can add the LCD feature to this new build. I didn’t use the LCD image as some others reported it was not working on the RPi 5.
Thanks in advance!
Fred

bump, in case someone may be able to help.

Thanks in advance!

I don’t think there’s a solution for this since there since there is no image or package to get this running with the 10.2 version.

Latest image I’m aware of is the 8.2 image but that is based on Buster. A Pi 5 needs Bookworm 64 bit to run so that is not compatible with the 8.2 image.

Thanks, that’s what I figured

@Frednaud lateral thought - install a GUI on the Pi 5 like Cinnamon (suggest the minimal version, to avoid adding a whole load of applications you’re not likely to ever use!), that should allow the use of a browser such as Firefox to give you a graphical display of FA data.
