Just can't get PiAware working

FlightAware ADS-B Flight Tracking
1

Hello,

Hopefully I am posting this in the right area. I’m moving over from SBS-1 world but can’t get my FlightAware Pro stick (+ filter) working through a Raspberry Pi 3.

I got PiAware (Jessie 2.1.5 version) installed on a formatted microSD card. The Raspberry Pi is booting up to the pi@piaware:~$ command. I go to claim my PiAware client on flightaware.com and get told the following message: Unfortunately, Flightaware hasn’t found a new, unclaimed PiAware connection from your IP (78.18.XX.XX). Either your device has not yet connected or you are on a different IP address. It gives me the option to checked again for my PiAware or setup manually. I’ve tried the manual process (entering password + restart) but that has not fixed the issue. Below the message I have another one saying *Great news! Your account is associated with the following PiAware receivers and you can view your stats here. 1. xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx: PiAware (SD Card) 2.1 added Monday 23rd 2016 (78.18.XX.XX/192.168.XX.XX). *

When I click on the link for stats, I am not listed in the table. I google adsb/stats/user/pilotngb and it states that they are not receiving my data or I need to register my receiver. Nothing happens of course when I goto the webpage with port 8080.

Any ideas? I think its an IP issue with my router. Why is it calling out a 78 IP address rather than 192?

I can connect to my Raspberry remotely using PuTTY and the internet within the Raspberry software is working fine.

Hopefully someone can help me get through this frustrating part of the setup!

Maybe temporarily shut off your firewall.

I have a motorola router and the router is defective. I put the thing in the bridged mode and connected it to a better router. Now it is just a cable modem.

the 2 IP’s is it’s calling out your internet facing IP and your internal IP, have you checked the output of /tmp/piaware.out and see if there is anything obvious? Or you can post them to like pastebin and we can take a look

Firewall made no difference.

One question - should the Raspberry Pi be visible on my router under listed connected devices? It isn’t.

Here is the output from the file.

Something has changed in the last couple of hours. It seems I have a profile now/

I need a new connector for my antenna. Hopefully that arrives tomorrow and I will start to see data.

My Pi gets a DHCP address from the router. You may have a static IP (non-changing address).

everything looks fine now, you just need to get that antenna fixed and you should see some aircraft
