I built my own raspberry pi feeder and set it up on FR24. How can I add flightaware as well?
Which image you wrote to microSD card, Flightradar24’s Pi24, or Raspberry Pi OS, or something else?
I used Pi24
I can redo with a more general one if necessary, just don’t know what it is
Yes, a general one is the best option for feeding multiple sites.
For general one, use Raspberry Pi OS Lite, latest version Bookworm.
STEP-1:
Use Raspberry Pi Imager to write the Raspberry Pi OS Lite image Bookworm.
