Installing dump978 fa and feeding adsbexchange with UAT traffic - NickSto/adsb-wiki GitHub Wiki

Don't use this guide for the adsbx image!

Assign a serial to the SDRs

Unplug non 978 SDRs and use this command: sudo rtl_eeprom -s 978

Unplug non 1090 SDRs and use this command: sudo rtl_eeprom -s 1090

Unplug both SDRs, plug them back in again to make the system aware of the new serials. A reboot will not do that.

Reconfigure readsb / dump1090-fa to use serial 1090

sudo sed -i -e 's/--device 0/--device 1090/' /etc/default/readsb
sudo systemctl restart readsb

sudo sed -i -e 's/--device 0/--device 1090/' /etc/default/dump1090-fa
sudo systemctl restart dump1090-fa

Install dump978-fa

curl -o repo.deb http://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/files/packages/pool/piaware/p/piaware-support/piaware-repository_3.8.1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i repo.deb
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y dump978-fa
sudo sed -i -e 's/RECEIVER_OPTIONS.*/RECEIVER_OPTIONS="--sdr-gain 43.9 --sdr driver=rtlsdr,serial=978 --format CS8"/' /etc/default/dump978-fa
sudo systemctl restart dump978-fa

Feed adsbexchange with the received traffic

https://github.com/adsbxchange/adsbexchange-978 If you already feed ADS-B/1090, you'll still need this in addition to the normal feed scripts for 1090.

graphs1090

graphs1090 should add 4 978 graphs at the bottom of the page: https://github.com/wiedehopf/graphs1090#graphs1090

Separate non-FA display for 978 traffic:

https://github.com/wiedehopf/tar1090#multiple-instances

/run/readsb tar1090
/run/skyaware978 978

Using this as an instances file should give you a webinterface for 978 traffic at /978

In addition or as an alternative for combined 1090/978 traffic: https://github.com/wiedehopf/tar1090#configuration-optional
