Hi Everyone,
Brand spanking new to ADS-B flight tracking in the Metro Boston area. I am trying to get my unit to talk with my iphone hotspot with no luck. So here is what my config file looks like. I have crossed out my iphone password. Does anyone see anything I have done wrong. For that matter I can’t get it to connect with the house wireless when I put that setup in as well. Setup works great when plugged into router directly and I switch wired-network to yes. Do I need to change anything to static vs whatever
Thanks in advance with any help for this computer illiterate newbie.
Cheers
Ross
This file configures the Piaware sdcard image
configuration. Whenever the system boots, this
file is read and its contents are used to
configure the system.
Lines beginning with a ‘#’ are comment lines
and are ignored. Blank lines are also ignored.
All other lines specify configuration settings.
For simplicity, this file only shows the most common options.

NETWORK CONFIGURATION
By default, PiAware will use DHCP when connecting to your network.
For other configurations, see the Advanced Configuration page
linked at the top of this file.
Should piaware use the wired ethernet port
for network access?
wired-network no
Should piaware use a wifi adaptor for network access?
If you are using a Pi 3, this will use the built-in wifi.
Otherwise, you will need to attach a supported USB wifi adaptor.
wireless-network yes
Wifi SSID and password.
This should be changed to match your wireless
network SSID and, for networks that require
a passphrase, the passphrase.
If your SSID or password contains characters other than
numbers and letters, such as the # character or whitespace,
you should enclose the value in quotation marks. For example,
“pass word” or “pass#word”.
To include quotation marks (") in a quoted value, use "
To include a backslash () in a quoted value, use \
wireless-ssid “Ross’s iPhone”
wireless-password xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
RECEIVER CONFIGURATION
For a complete list of receiver types and their associated settings,
see the Advanced Configuration page linked at the top of this file.
For a receiver type of ‘rtlsdr’, this setting controls the dongle gain.
-10 means AGC / maximum gain; other values mean a gain value in dB.
