Thank you to GolfCharlie and Claude Code for fixing the code to work with the newly changed FAA API! They have saved a lot of time. A new image has been created and will be uploaded today and available later tonight. If you don't want or need the image, you can visit https://github.com/markyharris/livesectional and incorporate the changes into your board now.

There has been another change to the FAA API which has again broke the map. We are currently working on this. Check back for fix. If you have the fix please post it. - Mark
Hello, I've had a map for about a year and I just upgraded to a Pi 4B. I used the memory card out of the old Pi(updated to 4.381) and it worked perfectly for about 24 hours. Now it won't boot up. I connected a monitor and see the info on the attached photo. Any ideas what is going on?
Sorry for the hassles. The messages in the picture are of the boot process and it hasn't yet tried to load and run the Livesectional software. My guess is the SD card became damaged somehow.
If you have a copy of the image, re-image the card and try again. You know it works since it ran for 24 hours already.
If you don't have a copy of it, then download the latest image from livesectional.com. By chance did you save a copy of the config file, airport and hmdata files? If so that would make setting it back up much quicker and easier.
Let me know what happens, I'll help anyway I can. - Mark
@markyharris Thanks Mark! I have the airports file and config file. Not familiar with the HMdata. I'll Flash a new card and see if it works.
hmdata holds the heat map data, so if you are not using this feature its of no concern. Let me know how it goes. - Mark
Update- I flashed a new image on a different card, but couldn't get it to connect to wifi. I never could get berrylan to connect to the bluetooth and I got into the config editor and put in my network info, still didn't connect. Finally plugged an ethernet cable in and its working perfectly fine. the ethernet is working for a test but it isn't practical long term. Am I missing anything on getting the wifi connected? thanks!
That's a great looking map.
At this point I would just reconnect the monitor and keyboard and at the cmd line enter;
sudo raspi-config
Select 'System Options'
then Select 'Wireless LAN' and enter your wireless credentials.
After you hit 'Finish' it will ask if you want to reboot, say yes and after it boots up your wireless should be setup properly.
Let us know. - Mark
