Announcing PiAware 3! (Latest version: 3.8.0)

Just if anyone else is wondering and wants to change something:

Normally when the map is displayed the RSSI column in the table on the right is hidden.
If only the table is displayed then the RSSI is shown.

We can change that so that RSSI is always shown by executing following command:

sudo sed -iE -e 's/showColumn(infoTable, "#rssi"/\/\/showColumn(infoTable, "#rssi"/g' /usr/share/dump1090-fa/html/script.js

And to revert that change:

sudo sed -iE -e 's/\/*showColumn(infoTable, "#rssi"/showColumn(infoTable, "#rssi"/g' /usr/share/dump1090-fa/html/script.js

If you are more comfortable doing it via an editor:

# Find the following line (Line 1573 in 3.6.3)
showColumn(infoTable, "#rssi", !mapIsVisible);
# Add // in the front to always show RSSI column
//showColumn(infoTable, "#rssi", !mapIsVisible);

This should work reliably for dump1090-fa as the file in question was last changed in 2015.

I very much understand you don’t want to put up with the hassle and i understand, just wanted to put the HOWTO out there for others maybe looking for the same.
