Hi Guus,
Are you using the Piaware SD card image or the packages on top of Raspbian
If you use the Piaware image I would recommend to create a new image on a SD card and import your settings over by one of teh steps below
4 - Configure Station ID
Alternative-1:
Get a brand new station number & feeder id
Log-in to your Flightaware account, go to this page and follow instructions to claim a new station https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/claimAlternative-2:
Configure an Existing Station(a) - Find existing station’s feeder-id (Unique Identifier)
Log-in to your Flightaware account, go to “My ADSB” / stats page
flightaware.com/adsb/stats/user/ ,
and look for 32-digit Unique Identifier: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx(b) - SSH and configure station id:
sudo piaware-config feeder-id xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
Replace xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
by your actual feeder-id
sudo systemctl restart piaware
If you use the package installation you can so some addtional steps.
Checkout this excellent post bij abcd567 in performing a manual update/upgrade.
execute step 1,2 and 3.
These will reinstall the packages without overwriting your existing settings.
In step 2 allow the update your dump1090-fa config file in order to get the new functionality in the config.
After reboot you can edit the config file to enable adaptive gain by setting the parameter dynamic active range from no to yes
After the modification you need to restart dump1090-fa to activate the dynamic gain
sudo systemctl restart dump1090-fa is the command to do this.
The you can proceed with step 3 if you want to have Piawareweb installed/updated as well.
