4 - Configure Station ID
Alternative-1:
Get a brand new station number & feeder id
Log-in to your Flightaware account, go to this page and follow instructions to claim a new station https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/claim
Alternative-2:
Configure an Existing Station
(a) - Find existing station’s feeder-id (Unique Identifier)
Log-in to your Flightaware account, go to “My ADSB” / stats page
flightaware.com/adsb/stats/user/ ,
and look for 32-digit Unique Identifier: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
Copy Unique Identifier from your “My ADSB” page.
(b) - SSH and configure station id:
sudo piaware-config feeder-id xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
# Replace xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx by your
# actual feeder-id (Unique Identifier)
sudo systemctl restart piaware

sudo systemctl restart piaware
6 - Configuration for using both dump1090-fa & dump978-fa (Two dongles are required)
6.1 - Serialize dongles: (CLICK HERE)
If you want to receive both ES1090 and UAT978, then two dongles are required, one for 1090 and other for 978. In this case you will have to serialize dongles so that correct dongle+antenna sets are used by dump1090-fa and dump978-fa.
For 1090 Mhz dongle: use serial # 00001090
For 978 Mhz dongle : use serial # 00000978
6.2 - configure dump1090-fa & dump978-fa to use dongles of assigned serial numbers
sudo sed -i 's/--device-index 0/--device-index 00001090/' /etc/default/dump1090-fa
sudo sed -i 's/driver=rtlsdr/driver=rtlsdr,serial=00000978/' /etc/default/dump978-fa
6.3 - Reboot so that dump1090-fa & dump978-fa can pick their assigned dongles at boot
sudo reboot
7 - Bonus: Install other data feeders
7.1 - Planefinder
Feed Planefinder from Debian, & Ubuntu x86_64
7.2 - Flightradar24
Automated Instal of FR24 Feeder on Debian & Ubuntu amd64 on Intel 64bit Computer
Nvm, I guess it would be best to use Raspberry Pi and download the latest image. Thanks for your help
