This new device is now available for purchase and offers a ready-to-run ADS-B receiver option for aviation enthusiasts and data feeders, building on the same trusted technology as our original FlightFeeder. Here’s everything you need to know about this new device and what it means for the FlightAware community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat’s in a Name? FlightFeeder vs. PiAware\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make it easier to understand our offerings, we’re changing some of the names. We have the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/flightaware\/piaware\"\u003ePiAware software\u003c\/a\u003e which is the software that runs on a Raspberry Pi so you can use it as an ADS-B receiver, DIY PiAware kits which were hardware kits designed to build your own PiAware-based flight tracker, and FlightFeeders which are assembled PiAware-based feeders that FlightAware provides at no cost to qualified hosts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile our FlightFeeders were provided at no cost to qualified applicants, they weren't available for purchase before now. This presented a problem when it came to trying to explain the difference between a PiAware kit and a FlightFeeder. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom now on, “FlightFeeder” refers to all of our physical ADS-B receiver devices -- not just the one device we provide to hosts -- while “PiAware” will continue to describe the software that runs on these devices. This clear naming distinction is designed to simplify our platform, and we’re working hard to update all documentation to reflect this change. We know there may be some confusion on our website and elsewhere as we implement these updates, and we appreciate your patience as we make everything consistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFlightFeeder Pro vs. Traditional FlightFeeders\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FlightFeeder Pro is built using the same reliable components as our traditional FlightFeeder models, with a few design tweaks. For instance, the software-defined radio (SDR) - the FlightAware Pro Stick - connects externally via a USB port rather than being enclosed inside the case. While the “Pro” name distinguishes it as our purchasable option, the FlightFeeder Pro is not better than our other FlightFeeder devices; it's using the same components. It simply offers another way for you to access FlightAware’s flight-tracking technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFlightFeeder Basic vs. FlightFeeder Pro\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to receiving requests to purchase our traditional FlightFeeder we have also had many requests to sell a ready-to-run version of our existing PiAware ADS-B Kit. This is the DIY kit that comes with everything you need to build your own ADS-B receiver, but it does require some know-how to get it running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are now calling that kit \u003cstrong\u003eFlightFeeder Basic\u003c\/strong\u003e. It will be available in the same DIY kit as before, as well as a ready-to-run version that is great for those who don't want to build it themselves and mess around with getting it flashed and setup. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FlightFeeder basic and FlightFeeder Pro serve the same function, but with a few differences:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"width: 99.8182%; height: 137.156px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 34%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBasic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePro\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 39.1875px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 34%; height: 39.1875px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMainboard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33%; height: 39.1875px;\"\u003eRaspberry Pi Zero W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33%; height: 39.1875px;\"\u003eRaspberry Pi 3b+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 39.1875px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 34%; height: 39.1875px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTouchscreen\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33%; height: 39.1875px;\"\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33%; height: 39.1875px;\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 34%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWiFi\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 34%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEthernet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 34%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable as DIY kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33%;\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33%;\"\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePurchase Options and Ownership\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the FlightFeeder Pro, you now have the option to own a built and ready-to-run FlightFeeder outright!
