Things this week:  

TNG - Adventures with ADS-B and the RPi

 

Having succeeded in getting SDR1090 and ADSBscope running on Win10, I
thought I'd try my hand at an RPi-based setup. Hopefully by Thursday night
I'll have some meaningful progress to report. Bruce, K8FIX, did this several
years ago; he may chime in with what he did and some helpful suggestions. 

FYI: ADS-B is a signal transmitted from aircraft with their basic altitude,
heading, and airspeed information, used by apps such as FlightAware to
provide online tracking of aircraft. It's fun to watch, especially with
Dayton, WPAFB, and Wilmington runways close by.
