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.

I built a board a while back using version 2.1 and was wanting to make a couple settings changes. I don't want to upgrade to V3 but I was hoping to get the commands to access the airports and settings pages inside the pi. If the old instructions are still out there (I looked all over the new site with no luck) that would be ideal, but the commands will suffice.

-Thanks

When in the command line on your pi to edit the airports use the following command...

sudo nano /Neosectional/airports

when done editing...

control key and x

then y

then the return key

 

to edit the settings

sudo /Neosectional/metar.py

then exit using the same method as above. 

I hope this helps,

Bill

@liveadmin, Thank you, That was exactly what I was looking for! 

One last question I have is what is the file path to configure the auto start file? I remember I had to remove a # to change a remark into a command that starts the script on the pi's startup, I just cant remember the command to access that file. 

Thanks so much in advance!

I believe you need to uncomment the line in /etc/rc.local. So use this;

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

This should autostart for you. - Mark
