Feed using data from generic receiver

You will need SSH access to another Linux / Raspberry Pi on the same network.

Install the feed scripts:

https://github.com/adsbxchange/adsb-exchange#obtaining-and-using-the-scripts

Edit the feed script configuration, use the following command:

sudo nano /etc/default/adsbexchange
INPUT="127.0.0.1:30005"
change to:
INPUT="192.168.X.XX:30005"

You will need to change the IP address after INPUT to the appropriate address. If the beast data is available on another port (unusual, also change the port). For the FA yellow receiver just use port 30005.

Save: Ctrl-O and Enter and exit: Ctrl-X

sudo systemctl restart adsbexchange-feed adsbexchange-mlat

If you don't like errors in your system log you can do this modification:

RESULTS="--results beast,connect,localhost:30104"
change to
RESULTS=""

If you would like a local map display of the data including MLAT results from adsbexchange, you can install tar1090: https://github.com/wiedehopf/tar1090#tar1090
