FlightAware ADS-B Flight Tracking

Is there a set of instructions to install 1090 AND 978 that works with Trixe? I have found many different instructions for the installation. But all of them fail at some point. Some of them refer to the FlightAware build image. Some refer to CMD’s that only work with the image. Come on, FlightAware, I am trying to add 978 to my setup, and you are making it very difficult.

Please Specify:
(1) Your hardware (RPi, OrangePi, Odroid, or an x86_64 PC)

(2) Your OS image (Raspberry Pi OS, Armbian, DietPi, Ubuntu etc)

Go to this site:

https://www.flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/install

Scroll down to item 3, and execute commands in items 3,4,5, and 6.

ADDITIONAL STEPS

(1) Execute following commands:

sudo piaware-config uat-receiver-type sdr 

sudo systemctl restart piaware

(2) Serialise the two dongles with 2 different serial numbers. (CLICK HERE)

(3) Add the information about serial numbers in following files:

1090 mhz dongle’s serial number in file /etc/default/dump1090-fa

978 mhz dongle’s serial number in file /etc/default/dump978-fa

Above can be done either by manually editing above noted files, or by following commands:

sudo sed -i 's/^RECEIVER_SERIAL=.*/RECEIVER_SERIAL=00001090/' /etc/default/dump1090-fa  

sudo sed -i 's/driver=rtlsdr[^ ]* /driver=rtlsdr,serial=00000978 /' /etc/default/dump978-fa  

sudo reboot

NOTE:
If you have serialized dongles with different serial numbers than those in above commands, then in above commands use those serial numbers instead of 0001090 & 0000978

That’s the step I always forget – I guess because you don’t have to do a similar step for dump1090-fa.

Glad to know that your problem is solved.

After completing all steps shown in my post, dont forget to reboot RPi to implement all changes made by those commands.
