Built a Raspberry Pi and downloaded the OS from the FA site. I bought all of the items on the list and i have tried connecting both with the WiFi and the Ethernet adapters. I’m in a 2 story building with the antennae up against the glass for the clearest view of the sky that i can get. I have tried this at home and at work (two different routers, and IP addresses) and can’t seem to get it to claim the receiver. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? Thanks in advance!
Is everything running? Try running from the command line sudo piaware-status. This should indicate if the components are working.
Did you follow the steps at flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/build
Step 4 is claim your pi
Step 5 shows the results. I tried step 5 and nothing was there.
