<![CDATA[Request: Flight tracker using PiAware]]>I have missed having a module that lists the flights overhead since it went dark some time ago. I may have a solution but have no idea how to code it since JavaScript is pretty much like hieroglyphics to me.

I am running PiAware on separate pi and the listing of overhead aircraft can be read as a json file but not all of the information that I would like displayed is in the json file. Would someone be willing to work on this with me?

It. uses the software from planefinder.net. The planefinder software is an addon to the Raspberry Pi OS and runs in the background. I use it on a Pi 4 Bookworm

Query: The original question was in regards to seeing data collected by a PiAware receiver. It looks like Plane Finder and PiAware both run dump1090, but beyond that I don’t know how they work, or how the data gets passed.

Will this module also display data received by a PiAware?

I have a Pi Aware in the loft and would be interested in adding its data to MM.

I will continue to clean it up and let everyone know

AHA - I see. It looks like that module is/was quite involved! I’m not sure I can add much to answer the original question, but i did note that the OP described the data as being/like JSON, but the module difers:

Bugs and Warnings
ℹ️ The data provided by the flightradar24-client, is not JSON, even if it resembles it. 
It is actually an Array of JavaScript objects. 
For an example of the raw data, look at the demo.json file.

Maybe the best way to move this forward is to tell us what module you are referring to when you say something used to work but went dark some time ago.

If we can see or reference what you are talking about, you have a better chance of getting help.

Open another and describe how you want to results to look
And what additional info you want and where you might get it

Open another with your ideas

What do you mean can be read. Is it a file or output of a command or?

We could create a repo and discuss thru issues
