VRS TO PLANEPLOTTER -  FED FROM RASPBERRY PI RUNNING DUMP1090

 

I run dump1090 on several raspberry pi which I then feed the merged outputs into the virtual radar server program across my local network - this same information you can also display within the Plane plotter program - both VRS and PP must be running on your network

 setting   planeplotter up

step 1

 options - mode s receiver - kinectic sbs family -  sbs1 bs pi address address ( put in 127.0.0:33003 )

or

if virtual radar is running on a raspberry thats on your network put that address in i.e 192.168.1.200:33003

step 2

options - input settings - tick mode s/ads-b - highlight sbs1/rbv3 tcp

ok you are done configuring Plane plotter

( why 127.0.0:33003?  - because in this instance you are running virtual radar server on the same pc as you are running Plane plotter on - it's a local host or loopback address )

Don't worry about the fact that  maybe you don't have a sbs / rb receiver

Configuring virtual radar server

step 1

configure  your raspberry pi (s) using the vrs setup wizard - you will need to know the ip address of your raspberry pi

 for the pp configuaration above  - type at command line

 hostname -i

( or just hover mouse pointer over the wi-fi icon )

step2

configure  'rebroasdcast server'  - put the port to 33003

step 3

configure  'merge feeds'  if you have more than 1 raspberry pi

 

VIRTUAL RADAR SERVER

To install virtual radar server on a raspberry pi ( also the plugins and the picture folder and flag folder ) has now become very easy

bash -c "$(wget -O - https://github.com/mypiaware/virtual-radar-server-installation/raw/master/virtual_radar_server_install.sh)"
