Hi Fellas. I will use a help of any expert here to feed my data to FR4 from my newly receive flight feeder . Its up and running and i have installed antenna on my 2 story condo roof. I would to feed to FR4 too but this FA system is so restricted so not sure how can i feed to others . Please advise.
Thanks in advance. Tis hobby is so addictive. Also on side note i have 1090 and 978 running on Pi4 but that antennas are indoors. :).
You will need a separate device (does not need much power, even a Pi Zero should be fine) to run the FR24 feeder or whatever other software you want. You could use your Pi 4 for that. FlightFeeders provide a raw data stream on TCP port 30005 that has all the data they receive, you can point your separate device at that. Please don’t modify the FlightFeeder itself.
Sure . No i am not trying to modify. all i want to share to other aggregators. Would u mind please help to get those ssh prompt so i can add that in my pi4 .Thanks.
If you have already installed fr24feed on RPi, please post output of following command
Note: remove feeder key when you post it.
sudo nano /etc/fr24feed.ini
You could apply to FlightRadar24 for a free receiver to feed them.
In case you want an easy setup, i’d recommend putting adsb.im on the pi4.
I don’t think the FA receiver you got does 978? Or does it?
In that case, remove the 1090 SDR from the pi4, keep the 978 setup.
In the adsb.im webinterface you’d go to Setup → SDR.
Set the 978 SDR as 978 so that works.
Then enter the IP of the FA receiver in the free text field to receive the 1090 data from it.
You can also modify your existing setup.
Getting data from 2 SDRs causes issues with MLAT so you can’t really keep that 1090.
But you can make the decoder running on the pi4 network only and get the data.
For example by using readsb as the decoder and specifying a net-connector.
But i don’t really spend time explaining the details of such configs anymore because it’s faster for me to point to adsb.im 
Whichever way you go, good luck!
Sure i will once i get home. Thanks 
I did but they denied me lol. 
I’m fortunate to have reply from you buddy. I tried all your scipts on my pi4 . Solid work. Again not too smart here with ssh and those commands. I have pi4 seup with raspberry pi adsb distro . I have to go to adsb-feeder.local to access my interface. Somehow myltiple ssh from multiple pi my ssh confused and don’t let me login to root lol. Still learning. I have one more pi4 which i just bought from offer up lol. So addictive.
Seems fr24feed did not get installed properly. When installed properly, the command sudo nano /etc/fr24feed.ini gives following output:
To check if fr24feed is installed, issue following command and post its output:
apt-cache policy fr24feed
If installed, you will get following output:
apt-cache policy fr24feed gives this " Unable to locate package fr24feed "
This is what I am using for my personal pi 24 build and sharing to multiple
You have to change following two (2) lines of file fr24feed.ini
(1) Change
receiver="avr-tcp"
to
receiver="beast-tcp"
(2) Change
host="127.0.0.1:30002"
to
host=192.168.12.25:30005"
As I dont know local IP of your Flightfeeder, in above instructions I have used 192.168.12.25. Instead of 192.168.12.25 , use actual local IP of your Flightfeeder
Note:
Dont forget to
(1) save the file after editing
(2) Restart fr24feed by following command:
sudo systemctl restart fr24feed
Thanks i changed it but how can i save file any command with control or something? sorry
Press Ctrl and o keys togather (letter o, not zero), and next press Enter key.
Done . Thanks so much. Last question if there is Anyway to confirm that now I am feeding from FlightAware feeder now?
Five minutes or more after restart command, issue following command:
sudo fr24feed-status
If fr24feed is feeding data from Flightfeeder, the output should be like shown in screenshot below:
Perfect i can see same as your. but i got another problem. after making this flightaware feeder working my original feed stopped working lol on pi4. They got offline lol.
I see you had two fr24feeds. Were these from same Pi? If so then were you using docker to run two fr24 feeders from same RPi?
