Hi There,

Rebooted my rPi and came back with a fun issue. After upgrading dump1090-mutability, there's no longer a data.json file. I moved to the closest file that is referenced in the API, which is data/aircraft.json - https://github.com/mutability/dump1090/blob/master/net_io.c#L1364 it's formatted totally differently. To resolve the issue I ended up building an older version of dump1090 from source that contained the data.json file. No data.json file triggers an issue on https://github.com/Syps/alexa-airplane-spotter/blob/master/nearby.py#L157. data/aircraft.json does not work as a sub.

Hi There, thanks for putting this together. I'm very close to having it working based on a lot of hard work of yours. It's very cool and I'm looking forward to getting it going. I've overcome a few little install issues, but can't seem to figure out this one.

server.js is successfully invoking nearby.py which is calling scraper.py I get the below Python Traceback when a plane is found. When no planes are found, the node.js remains up correctly.

EG Plane/URL being located; url=https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/VH-EBD

    depart = route_row.findAll('td')[2].find('span').text
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'findAll'

route_row is returning None, meaning route_row.findAll is bombing. The URL being access, as seen via logger.info (URL sample above), is correct and I can see the required tr/td info...

I might dig into this a little more, but am not feeling too confident on this. Greatly appreciate a hand on the scraping..

Unrelated, but whilst opening an issue, in the blog post I saw no mention of OpenSky or it's usage, which is still in the page and was a bit of a curveball, but no biggie.

Thanks again/in advance!

How did you install mongodb on your Raspberry Pi 3?

The Mongodb site only has packages for 64-bit ARM for Ubuntu?

Did you compile from source?
