- Flight Tracking with Radarbox Flightstick, Raspberry Pi 4 and Linux
Hi everyone,
In this video I’ll show you how to install and configure Radarbox Flight stick for flight tracking on a Raspberry PI 4 and Linux.
This is a great example of the Raspberry Pi board used together with Linux operating system. There are thousand of boards worldwide being used for this application.
Please visit www.rb24.com for further instructions.
You can also get Raspberry Pi OS image from www.raspberrypi.org website.
I hope you enjoy this video.
Regards,
Rodrigo Matias
NOTE: Please refer to your country's regulations to ensure legality about flight tracking.
hi
thanks for the video.
I have 2 questions
1:why did you chose the 32 bit version for os
2: on rb24 website they write you need an raspi with dump1090 running prior to installing rbfeeder. How did you install dump1090 or is it not needed?
thx
This is not a simple or easy. To fast. I would like to see how to do it from brand new Rosebery to finish.
Hi. where an I download the Raspberry Pi Image for Airnav? As I understood from the video it is a special image from Arnav ? BR Peter
Do you have a link to purchase the items needed? I have never worked with a Raspberry PI before. Thanks
Hi, nice tutorial. Can I install on raspberry airnav and FR24 both?
Hi, never tried both on the same machine.
Regards,
Rodrigo.
Interesting as I have been using another flight tracking program and using the Pi board to build it up. Watching this video I would say there is way to much to this for most people to figure it out if your not used to working with Raspberry Pi and typing in commands. I couldn't even follow this, but nice try.
Hi, you really need this only if you want to build your own receiving station. Most urban areas across the world are already covered by the AirNav Radabox network. You just need to use the web! Thanks!! Regards,RSM.
Hi Rodrigo
Verry instructive video, but i miss installing MLAT and getting it to work :-)

Hi Richard!
Thanks for the tip. Let's do that on another video. It is quite useful to get accurate flight info from those aircraft which don't transmit geographic coordinates.
Regards,
Rodrigo
Hello,
Did you get MLAT to work or do you have instructions on how to do it? Unfortunately I can't get it to work.
Hey Rodrigo
I have purchased the AirNav Kit and I'm thinking of using my old Satellite dish coaxial cable (already passed to the roof.) Will it work?
Yes it should but with some attenuation. Keep in mind that you could need a pre-amplifier depending on your cable length.
TV coax cable is 75Ohm impedance and most antennas for ADS-B are designed for 50 Ohm, and so are the receivers.
Never the less, please try it and check your overall aircraft range on the map.
Regards,
Rodrigo
I know you posted this a year ago, but yes. The coax from your old sat dish will work just fine. TV coax is 75 ohm, not 750 but that was probably a typo. Satellite coax is actually really good stuff. They usually install quality, low-loss cable since the frequencies of the signal are very high and the loss/length increases with frequency. Being only 1.09 mhz, the loss will be relatively minimal. The fact it's 75 ohm will not matter for receiving only, and the fact it's probably good low-loss is even better. As long as it's not a couple hundred feet long. The 75-50 ohm impedence mismatch would be important if you were transmitting.. let us know what you ended up doing and how it's working.
Will a Raspberri Pi 3 B+ work too?
Hi Luis,
Yes, for sure. I've used flightstick on RPI3 also. In fact, XRANGE2 units provided directly by AIRNAV SYSTEMS are a bundle of RPI3+FLIGHTSTICK.
Regards,
Rodrigo.
Wot a load of hassle. PiAware so much easier.
well,if you can install it here,,i could gave it a try.
