Wired settings for piaware

FlightAware ADS-B Flight Tracking
1

I’m trying to set up my piaware for the first time. I flashed the drive and edited the wired settings. My network is on 10.0.0.* not 192.168.0.* So I’m assuming I need to supply the static IP addresses to connect to.

wired-network yes

Wired network configuration:

Most networks will use DHCP

wired-type static

Alternatively, a static address configuration

can be provided; set “wired-type” to static to use this.

wired-address 10.0.0.30
wired-netmask 255.255.255.0
wired-broadcast 10.0.0.255
wired-gateway 10.0.0.1
wired-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

I turn on the raspberry pi and wait 5 minutes, then when I try to go to 10.0.0.30, I get ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

On the raspberry pi, I see the red LED light, but the instruction say I should also see a blinking green light (which I do not see).

Any help would be greatly appreciated

What’s the IP of the computer you are trying from?
What is the subnet mask?

Those should be availabe from your Connection details.

The computer I’m trying from is 10.0.0.35 in network. That’s not my public IP though.

Oh is it the Pi4?
That one isn’t compatible with the piaware sd-card image yet.

For RPi4 you’ll need to install Raspbian Buster Lite and then install piaware as an add-on PiAware - dump1090 ADS-B integration with FlightAware - FlightAware

yes it’s a Pi4… ok this explains a lot :slight_smile:

Glad you got it working :slight_smile:

Just gonna plug two of my projects in case you are interested:
GitHub - wiedehopf/graphs1090: Graphs for readsb / dump1090-fa / dump1090 (based on dump1090-tools by mutability)
GitHub - wiedehopf/tar1090: Provides an improved webinterface for use with ADS-B decoders readsb / dump1090-fa

@MattlAltman
I also recommend @wiedehopf’s two projects (graphs1090 & tar1090), particularly the graphs1090, which is an extremely useful tool.

Great to hear you’ve got it going

You can set it up either way. If you have a DHCP server, Piaware will pickup an IP.
Static obviously works too, just be careful to pick an IP outside the DHCP range.
