OUTDATED PLEASE SEE NEW POST
Previously I had made a blog post regarding my “Flightradar24” feeder. I have since made loads of changes to hardware and software relating to My feeder. In this post we will get to them.
The first update:
My Raspbian install was getting progressively worn down from all my projects that left a mark on my install. I figured that it would be much easier to back up certain pieces of software and just reinstall Raspbian. When Raspbian was installed I switched to Readsb, this allowed me To have one independent piece of software to control my antenna and decoding. I then installed AdsbExchange’s Script method and then eventually FlightRadar24’s FR24Feed. under the recommendation of a hobbyist I installed Graphs1090 To get better stats. I also used This script To dial in the best gain for my setup
The second update: I decided that I could get more out of my setup so I decided to purchase This antenna, This cable and This SDR From The PiHut. A few days later they showed up at my door. I originally put it exactly where my Nooelec one was. The next day I was trying to find optimal positions for my antenna, Due to the lack of mounting hardware needed for my specific situation. I found a compromise temporary location until I gather the needed mounting hardware. This gets me odd range in this position compared to my other antenna in its old position.
The third update:
I have decided to purchase This Filter to assist my other new hardware. I also purchased The official raspberry pi power supply as my current power supply is not ideal in terms of power delivery.
Do you want to make a feeder for yourself?
These handy resources do help
To get some part recommendations this guide is handy
If you have hardware and a pi running Raspbian This is a great resource
