Using Beast GPS receiver from broken FlighFeeder on windows via USB

ok thanks… i figured it out… and now… how to stream data to FA??

didn’t you install piaware already?

Nope… i was unable to install… it said that i386 is not supported

oh great…

cd
git clone https://github.com/flightaware/piaware_builder.git
cd piaware_builder
dpkg-buildpackage -b

let’s see if we get any errors :wink:

seriously why would you chose i386 and with that useless graphical user interface as well :stuck_out_tongue:

something about TAILS :stuck_out_tongue:

not sure what that means hmm

let me try myself hopefully i get the same error.

i assume you are on debian stretch or are you using jessie?
if you don’t know show me
apt-cache policy

if you have stretch just do:

./sensible-build.sh stretch
cd package-stretch
dpkg-buildpackage -b

i think it’s stretch…

yeah go ahead build the stuff it’s stretch.

i think it;s something about Python

same procedure install the missing packets listed (don’t copy the thing in the ( ) just the packet names)

apt-get install tcl8.6-dev python3-dev python3-venv libz-dev

okay…

don’t you see the pattern :stuck_out_tongue:

dpkg -i ../piaware_3.6.3_i386.deb

and set the unique id from your feeder page:
piaware-config feeder-id YOUR_ID

after you have set it:
systemctl restart piaware

that’s an error…

yeah and if you read it it says it failed to sign some stuff.
but i won’t hold that against you for not knowing haha :slight_smile:

the build worked fine.

nope… it says cannot access archive…

you know i’m the NOOB of the NOOBS in Linux at all…

:slight_smile:

please use the command i supplied you left out the i386

dpkg -i ../piaware_3.6.3_i386.deb

all working mate thank you so much… thank you fo rspending many hours to help me out… that’s great man… thank you… and one last question… if i turn off my Debian, and then turn on back (reboot) will piaware and all that stuff load with boot, or i need to do something else…???

Reboots should not be a problem.

Actually try one right now :wink:

flightaware would probably prefer if you feed them 24/7 but without a small computer that uses less power that’s a bit uncomfortable.

anyway maybe you can get a new pi or old laptop some day to feed 24/7 :wink:

ok… let me try… :wink:
