Request: Flight tracker using PiAware

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.

@JohnGalt I think he was talking about

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. -
Well…I managed to come up with a viable alternative for what I was wanting to display. I will continue to clean it up and let everyone know
-
+1 for this, please. I have a Pi Aware in the loft and would be interested in adding its data to MM.
-
@Richard238 Let me know if you need help.
-
@Exndfan you didn’t post the new module link here
-
@sdetweil Oops…The. repo is at http://github.com/kds54/MMM-Planefinder
I also put it in the listing. of 3rd party modules
-
@Exndfan – Interesting!
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?
-
@JohnGalt No, this won’t display the 1090 dump from PiAware. 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
