Article: Why I Have a Flight Tracker in My Home

[jbman]

I have a single Pi3 running docker with ultrafeeder. If you can get the USB part sorted with your synology then this would be a good solution. One config file yml and everything is going with ultrafeeder.

Thanks for the write-up, it prompted me to get around to setting a tracker up myself using the hardware suggestions posted in this thread.

Have to find time to get up on the roof and mount the antenna in a better spot, and get a right-angle USB-C power cable so it looks a bit neater, but otherwise happy with how it all turned out.

Edit: tweaked the display a bit to make it a bit more visually interesting.

Have enjoyed tracking the RAAF Roulettes visit to the Easter Show this afternoon, got a pretty decent flyover at home too.

I'd love to hear more about the display and what Pi image/additional software is powering it!

I am considering building something like The Flight Wall Mini. I'm lucky enough to have a nice westerly view of traffic departing 34L / approaching 16R
