Hi All,
I am up and running now with a new setup feeding data to PlanePlotter, Planefinder, FR24 and Flightaware 24/7 using the fantastic Raspberry Pi 2 which cost me £41.00 including vat from cpc.farnell.com/ and the program Dump1090.
You also need a usb or wireless keyboard and mouse which i already had and a Wifi Adaptor www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WIFI-150MBPS-WIRELESS-ADAPTOR-802-11-B-G-N-NETWORK-MINI-USB-LAN-DONGLE-ADAPTER-/321388233331?hash=item4ad43b4273:g:8xQAAMXQ1ZhTe0er and a Monitor/ TV with an HDMI output and an HDMI cable which i already had.
Takes a bit of getting used to as it's Linux based and i have never used Linux before but i'm determined to get stuck into it and learn more and do different projects with it.
It wasn't to bad for me getting the Pi going on it's own and feeding PlanePlotter, but when i wanted to feed the others it took a few hours to do and it was the expertise of Mike ( radiostationx ) who done it for me and i owe him another big Thank you.
Mike has learn't himself and things must sink in to his head quite easily were as mine it doesn't
in one end and out the other.
If you have any questions ask and if i can answer i will.
Regards
Phil
