ADS-B Raspi Shopping List
While I didn't use PiAware for my Raspi RTL-SDR ADS-B and ACARS receiver, FlightAware does have a good shopping list. It can be found at:

My version of the list includes:
Of course, you'll need a computer, an OS image (I'd recommend downloading Raspian distro from raspberrypi.org ) and, you'll need a SD image writer like Etcher.
In another post I'll go into how I setup my system.
If you'll be attending DEFCON, the Aviation Village will be having workshops on building a Raspi ADS-B receiver and demos. This is a good kit list to bring to the workshop.

My version of the list includes:
- Raspberry Pi 3
- I used a 3B+ but you could also use a 4
- Power supply
- 5v, 2.5 Amp with micro USB connector
- Micro SD Card
- At least 8GB
- I used a 32GB for plenty of space and they're cheap
- USB RTL-SDR
- You can use any of the popular ones
- I used the RTL-SDR.com Blog one (not an endorsement)
- Micro SD Card reader/writer
- Your laptop probably has one or get an external one
- 1090 Mhz Antenna
- You can build the simple "cantenna" from my previous post
- Optional: An ADS-B filter and/or amplifier
- I've gotten excellent reception without them
- I have them but don't use them
- Optional: USB extension cable
- The RTL-SDR is over sized and an extension cable really helps.
