1. The installation script has been updated, including the path/name you will see on the antennas page on the video. There should no longer be any need to install a second time, although as the script will now tell you at the end... if this is your first adsb setup on the machine you will have to reboot after install. Those reinstalling or updating (by running the script on an existing machine) will not have to reboot. 2. Also for the PI imaging software, the options and their positions can change over time as they release new versions of the tool. The latest version has you select which PI you will be imaging for. This filters what is shown on the "operating system" option when you click it. Choose the correct version of the pi device you are going to put the SD card into (or choose "no filtering" at the top). It has also moved the "gear" to after you click Next as "Edit Settings", go through all 3 tabs for the same settings. Then click YES to "Apply OS customization settings". 3. Since this video was made, an address lookup was added to the Register Antenna page, so you can type in your address and it will suggest one as you type. You can't see the box in this video but it is above where you enter latitude and longitude. Using that it is even easier than using latlong site or google maps! 4. As of August 29th 2024, the Stations page now has a dropdown where you can choose which station you are installing/reinstalling. When you choose the appropriate station, the install command will change dynamically. This, along with changes made to the install script, means you can just paste the install command and then reboot when done. You don't have to type anything in when installing or set the location on the device after install. You can see these steps now in the written guide on docs.wingbits.com/get-started/setup-steps-guide
And please change the wrong autogain setting „-10“. the rtlagc/ tuner AGC is for DVB-T developed and always wrong for ADS-B and leeds only to too strong signals.
Thanks so much. I'm a total DOS/Command Prompt noob and this video helped me through it. Excellent video. The wb2/.local never worked on the prompting though. I had to use the IP. On the browser to look at the map and graphs wb2.local worked though.
Excellent tutorial. I'm up and running now too. Mine was up and running previously for FlightAware so I just moved it to WingBits. Love supporting DePin projects!
This video it's applied to do configuration in a sensecap raspberry? I tried to make ping several times without success. In App Fing it appears the IP, but searching in CMD I have no results
I am pretty sure we worked on your situation in discord. If anyone else has a problem during install, make sure to hit us up on discord. We have a #setup-discussion channel to start getting things worked through, when you experience an issue.
How close does the Pi need to be to my router? As of now my Pi is on the second floor and router is on the first and when I ping it doesn’t detect the Pi
I am not sure how to answer as I think it would depend on the model of the PI and the router being used, along with any materials that might be blocking in between.
I have a PI 4with HyperPixel screen attached to it and an SD card with Debian and graphical UI (desktop). Would it still be possible to use your script and could I open the browser to see the aircraft that my receiver finds?
I would argue it is overkill if that is the only thing you intend on running on the pi. It will run on a 3b or later PI without issue. Even a 4 could be considered a bit overkill, but typically the PI 4 is easier to find than an old 3B and they are almost the same price. But yes, the PI 5 will work just fine.
BEFORE I TRY AGAIN MY RASPBERRY PI IMAGER SHOWS 3 WINDOWS THE FIRST BEING ONE TO CHOOSE "RASPBERRY PI DEVICE" YOUR VIDEO AT 3:25 SHOWS THAT WINDOW BUT WHEN YOU OPEN IT AT 4:12 IT ONLY HAS TWO SO NOW I CAN'T FOLLOW. 1st WINDOW IS CHOOSE DEVICE WHAT WOULD I CHOOSE?
Obviously the options and their positions can change over time as they release new versions of the tool. The latest version has you select which PI you will be imaging for. This filters what is shown on the "operating system" option when you click it. Choose the correct version of the pi device you are going to put the SD card into (or choose "no filtering" at the top).
Hi, thanks for the video ! Is there any video about the hardware setup we need with the Raspberry, I mean the antenna for example ? I will appreciate a photo or a video about the required setup please :)
Hi Mich! so we dont have a video yet, but if you look in our docs there are amazon links for all the suggested hardware pieces: docs.wingbits.com/get-started/hardware-needed/hardware-suggestions
Only suggestion would be to check capslock is not on. In my decades of failed logins, it has always come down to me having the password wrong or capslock was on by accident.
Check our docs site (listed in the description). Hardware Needed page. There is also a suggestions page with links, but it goes for the most obvious choices for people that may want to multitask their pi. Basically, pi 3b or zero 2w would be my baseline equipment. Thanks for the feedback!
* Linux machine (most people use a recent Raspberry PI or similar) * ADSB usb receiver (radarbox, flightaware, adsbexchange are most common) - get version with filter. * 1090 Mhz antenna (same brands as receivers) * Cable (N type Male to SMA male) of appropriate length Connect them as: Antenna -> Cable -> ADSB Receiver -> PI USB port
Probably not soon based on the tools used. Some people use virtual machines to run linux on the windows machine, but I haven't heard of people doing it much with adsb tools. Just an occasional comment on the web of someone trying it.
According to reports, bobcat units don't play nicely with the usb ports. You can look up 'bit harvest studio' online as they are trying to figure out a way around this possibly. Meanwhile, grabbing a PI is an alternative.
