Greetings everyone. A few days ago, I installed Debian Trixie (Armbian) on an old TV box I own (RK3228). I downloaded the packages and compiled them from Flightaware Github. I managed to link it to my account normally (my intention was to install this Frankenstein and try to improve the MLAT near the airport where I am located). Apparently, everything worked normally. Then, when I went to check the captured aircraft, I noticed differences in how the two stations are treated in the tracklog, both when I am logged into my account and when I am not logged in. When it comes to the FlightFeeder receiver, in both tracklogs (logged in and not logged in) the station appears with the identification of the airport it is linked to. With the Piaware (RK3228), it doesn’t show what the receiver is linked to, only my account (when I am logged in) or there is a blank space (when I am not logged in) where the station that made the recording should be linked. Is this happening because my Piaware isn’t conventional hardware (RPi + official SD card image) or because I didn’t install it correctly/am there a missing package or configuration? Thank you for your time!
The stats page says one of your sites it doing well, but the other only has 3 hours up-time.
My guess is you’ve created another site, but not claimed it. As it’s not associated with your account, you are not seeing all the details.
Yes, it’s associated with my account. I’m thinking that Flightaware’s servers prefer standard hardware with official images. I borrowed a Pi 3 a few days ago and inserted an SD card with an ADSB.im (ultrafeeder) image. And the same thing happened. Yesterday I bought an RPi 4 and when it arrives, I’ll put an official image on the SD card and let it run to see the result.
Ok.
An observation many of us have made - to produce interesting /meaningful data, first the station must be running.
That’s not the general experience.
I actually turned it off. As I said before, I acquired a Pi 4 to run with the official ISO on the SD card. When it arrives, I will redo the tests.
