Mapping The Things Network with a LoPy (3).Mapping The Things Network with a LoPy (4).To my astonishment the log showed that the thing copied 3 passing aircraft when I checked the next day! Excited by this result I quickly shortened my 433MHz groundplane to 6.8cm per wire to match the 1090Mhz frequency and put it outside. Although convinced that this experiment confirmed my bad RTL stick I left the program running and did a local telnet to port 10001 at the commandline (telnet 127.0.0.1 10001) to see any activity. Using the whip antenna which came with the RTL stick and a spare Raspberry Pi from the previous projects i could see: NOTHING! So I ordered the correct RTL stick as proposed by the FlightAware tutorial at Banggood. Well, I do! And believe it or not: 30 minutes later my ADSB receiver was online. “Do you want to build your own FlightAware PiAware ADS-B Ground Station?” the page invites. Last thursday i strolled the Internet when the ADSB pages of FlightAware caught my attention. It didn’t take long for rtl1090 to appear: A program to decode the ADSB packets received by a cheap RTL SDR stick.Ĭurious as always I gave rtl1090 a shot but the preliminary results made me believe I owned a Fitipower FC0013 type of stick barely capable of reaching the desired 1090 MHz.
#RTL1090 PLANEPLOTTER PC#
Originally meant to enable a PC to watch digital TV broadcast it was soon picked up by the community to turn it into a 50 – 1400 MHz receiver by the use of SDR# software. Some while ago I purchased a € 20 RTL SDR USB dongle. (although the people at HAK5 try to make us believe the opposite) Moreover, these kind of projects tend to have a very low WAF factor. To see what the lack of security could possibly do is nicely presented at Defcon 20. But to us friendly hobby enthousiasts it’s a good thing.Īfter having followed the work of Günter Köllner (DL4MEA) with his very high performance Mode-S Beast and the Radar cape for the Beaglebone as a replacement for the commercial available SBS-1 receivers I still felt that this was a too big investment for a thrill which might not last too long. The ADSB system uses the 1090 Mhz frequency and since it – oddly – doesn’t make use of any encryption can be received by anyone who’s interested. By broadcasting this location, its height, speed etc, ground stations and neighboring planes get an idea what’s up in the sky. It replaces (or adds to) the use of radar since airplanes know their own location better by GPS. ADSB stands for Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast and is used in Aviation. Not to worry, VRS has a Wizard to guide you through the setup.I always had some interest in building an ADSB receiver. Your setup may differ, but will be something like “127.0.0.1:31010”.
#RTL1090 PLANEPLOTTER SOFTWARE#
The RTL1090 software sends the data to the VRS software using a TCP port on my computer. But for me, I am happy using it in local mode. You can also share your tracking data with others. Virtual Radar Server can be used with data from many sources. RTL1090 software by to convert the 1090MHz data stream into a computer readable format. All of this data is plotted in a browser onto Google Maps. Meanwhile, Virgin Airlines flight VIR23J from Heathrow flies south at 36,000 feet over Calgary on its way to Los Angeles. Another Westjet flight is arriving form the southeast and is circling as it gets ready to approach YYC. Flying at 5900 feet, it is slowing down and will descent a further 2000 feet to land. It has flown to the south side of Calgary, and is turning north to land on the main runway in a few minutes. A Westjet flight is arriving from the northwest. Calgary’s airport is in the northeast of the city. Shown above is a screen capture of me tracking six aircraft over my home city. Virtual Radar Server is software designed for plotting ADS-B data on a real map. It turned out that this was quite easy to do.

Keep me posted - Always keen to take a first look see and give it a try. Would be interested in a RSP solution for windows.

#RTL1090 PLANEPLOTTER FULL#
I wondered if I could display the flight paths on a real map. Hi, I'm currently using RTL1090 with a dongle and full working paid copy of Plane Plotter for windows. But the display provided by RTL1090 software was pretty bare bones.
