It takes less than 7 minutes to logon, run SDCard Copier and clone the card and seems to work well for me.
#Planeplotter reg. for second pcupgrade procedure update
I wait about a week between updating the Pi just to make sure it is running without issues before I clone the card and immediately after cloning I update the software on the original card which means if anything goes wrong during the update I can quickly switch cards around and I am back to exactly where I was before attempting the update/install. I do occasionally shutdown the Pi and swap the cards round to verify the cloned card does actually work as a disaster recovery measure and spread the load across both cards. logon using RDP and use SDCard Copier on the Pi to clone a working copy of the boot card.

I do tend to keep a few small capacity cards for Pi devices running this software although the Pi can be run from an external disk (All models but Pi 4 easiest) but probably bit pointless for ADS-B requirements.Īctually it is because of my fear of losing a perfectly working system that I keep an identical SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB MicroSD Card permanently plugged into a SanDisk USB3 adaptor into one of the USB3 ports on the Pi 4 and before any updates/changes etc. Because of the generally small size of MicroSD cards copying is usually quick. There are ways of backing up a working system but with temp and cache files can cause problems. Probably easiest way is to poweroff the Pi, remove microSD card and backup however convenient. I would be interested to hear opinions as to my train of thought on the above reasoning or indeed of other sites that I haven’t mentioned that I might consider for feeding.ĭepending on how you access your Pi system it should be quite easy to make a backup of a working stable system then if you add anything and it goes wrong just revert to saved copy. PlanePlotter: Always liked Bev & Co and used to feed them also back in the day but don’t see any iOS app?ĪDSB Hub: No reason why I shouldn’t become a feeder other than I never got round to it!Īnother reason I don’t feed more sites is because I am not an expert in Pi’s and I worry that adding another feed will upset what has been a very reliable, solid, stable platform requiring minimal maintenance although my experience to date with the help & support of you guys in here and who frequent a couple of other related forums tends to lay that irrational fear of mine to bed! PlaneFinder: Used to feed these back in the early days but they seemed lazy and weren’t very helpful this time round. OpenSky Network: Seems to have a dead community so not sure if it is supported or not? Sites I don’t feed but could be persuaded especially if my reasoning is out of order RadarBox24: Mainly because I started with their RadarBox back in 2008 and I liked their software despite a few longstanding issues including butting heads with Andre over the years!įR24: As I always preferred, paid for & used their iOS App above all others I wanted to give something back.įA: Mainly because I seem to find myself frequenting this forum to ask questions so again wanted to give something back.ĪDSB Exchange: My longstanding interest in Military (aka unfiltered) and because I use an app called OpenADSB that uses ADSBx as their data source. I’m sure there are numerous other ADSB Data sites and would be interested to know as to why you maybe choose to feed some over others. Smart speakers have apps that will verbally announce certain close by aircraft data, a novelty indeed but not sure how useful this is. Personally I am unsure about this, is it a security issue? I have no real idea, guessing if it was a security issue it would have been stopped somehow.ĪDSB-Hub I don’t fully understand if this is similar to ADSB-Exchange or not, the former offers an image for viewing collected data, the latter does not appear to. Main reason for preferring them over FR24 was I found the forum more welcoming and friendly, appreciate many post in both but I tend to ask any questions here.Īlso feed FR24 as their web page is brilliant, happy to support, feed and benefit from the extra functions on the site.ĪDSB-Exchange I’ve seen some criticism, negative opinions on the fact it is unfiltered. I personally started and have stayed with the PiAware system. Love aircraft but purely as an observer or traveller.Īs for feeding ADSB sites I am curious as to reasons we choose some and not others. I am an enthusiastic Pi user for various projects, Linux is my main OS.
